Colors 3D received GotY on 3DS...? Oh my... That's kind of pathetic. Was there seriously nothing else?

Also, color me surprised that The Walking Dead game got such a high score! Pretty impressed.

Good for Xenoblade on the Wii!

Metacritic's prism is far far away of my 2012 imho...

The absence of Halo 4 on this list proves to me, without a shadow of doubt, that Metacritic is so flawed it's no longer with worth my time.

Does it mean i have bad taste if i don't have a single game on that list?


Altough i do paln on getting P4G when it finally releases in the eu and Journey once it gets a pricedrop.

You know it was a bad year when you see Farcry3 and Mass effect 3 in top 10.

Why, because you don't like them others can't. Me personally, Far Cry 3 is my GOTY and Mass Effect 3 would have been if I didn't get Far Cry 3.

I bought and had some fun with both. Farcry 3 and its big beautiful world with nothing going on (oh wait somebody drove by!) and shallow everything else.You leveled 5 times in the last 2 minutes, use these useless points that just make everything even easier and more boring then they already were or skin that animal for a wallet! cause thats what people liked about Skyrim and Red Dead right?! The most entertaining thing about this game was the stunning graphics. (blowing up a car full of people with a explosive arrow was pretty awesome the first few times)

Mass effect 3 was bad for shitting on almost everything from ME1 & ME2 and most of all the fans. Obviously rushed game (cant holster...what? and much more...) From ashes DLC ripped out of the game... super bad ending. I had planned many replays through the series but now i couldn't care less.

There is fun to be had in both games and i can see how people could like/love them but we have had much much better years.
