Tough .. I'd say Playstation All Stars: Battle Royale, Mass Effect 3 and then Rayman: Origins.

I think GOW: Ascension will take the number one spot when I'm finished with school this quarter.

Gears of War 3. Seriously, that multiplayer got me hooked since day 1. And the horde mode (The beast mode seriously sucks after you've done it once). I doubt Gears of War Judgment will take the place, so I think Gears of War 3 will be around 2013 too xD

forest-spirit said: MoHasanie said: forest-spirit said: Minecraft or Mount & Blade: Napoleonic Wars. I've spent a billion hours +-1 on Minecraft but I just can't put it down. The complete randomness of that game really makes the replayablitity endless. Napoleonic Wars is quite surprising. Got it with the Mount & Blade collection and checked it out for the sake of it and since then I'm hooked. Extreme hardcore gaming at it's finest. <100 players multiplayer suddenly feels very last-gen. Zen Pinball 2 on my Wii U is a distant but still respectable third. Is Minecraft really that good? I don't get why its so popular.  Depends on what kind of games you like really. If you absolutely need a storyline or a main goal then Minecraft ain't for you. Can't say for sure why the game is so successful but imo the completely open and random nature of the game is the biggest draw. You just never know what to expect. The ability to roleplay and set up your own rules for the game is also a huge plus. And the community is huge and very active. There are tons of different mods and Adventure maps (custom made worlds with certain goals and rules) to check out.

hmmm, the game does sound pretty interesting, so I think I'll get it from the Xbox live arcade along with Viva Pinata. Thanks for the recomendation :)

platinumed and it only took about 15 hours so maybe not

GOW: A you mean? I'm one of those who plays the campaign 9 or 10 times even after getting all the trophies - assuming it's good. But I was referring to the multiplayer aspect of it. I think I'll be there for a while.

oh that's true.  I will definitely play through it in the future.  About once a year I play through the GoW games in chronological order so this will now be included in that (also do this with Infamous, Batman, Uncharted, Ratchet, Killzone, J&D, and Sly, just pick one when the releases dry up).  I don't ever really get into MP but I guess I'll give that a shot other than the tutorial for the trophy.

Persona 4 Golden

WoW and TF2

Games that actually came out in 2013?

Fire Emblem: Awakening

single player: Skyrim
multiplayer: Halo 4

My most played single player game this year at the moment is either Professor Layton and the Diabolical box (16 hours and finished) and Virtue's Last Reward (20 hours+ this year, but 30 hours+ in total and completed).
