I think I've pretty much given up on Revelations. Understand that I LOVED AC2 and Brotherhood (I've even got a little Ezio figure on my desk at work here). But I'm more than halfway through Revelations and I'm incredibly bored. I think the quality took a real hit this year, both in story and in execution. At it's core, it's just more Brotherhood, which is fine, but Brotherhood's story kept you playing and the missions were well designed and fun. Revelations just feels so tired. It's sad when the Desmond platforming sections, as of of place and not great as they are, are easily my favorite thing about the game. Really disappointed. I wish they had just taken the year off and focused on the next one. The story (and yes, I went ahead and spoiled it for myself, that's how bored I am with it) just doesn't move the series forward very much. They took a whole game to say a few things they could have easily said in a few early missions in a new game.
Constantly. Well, maybe not constantly, but a lot. And it almost always involves swearing, even if I'm not mad. My wife makes fun of me for it. The new Assassin's Creed has had me pretty vocal: "Yeah, that's right, motherfucker, what now? Fuckin'... STABBED." I'm a pretty laid back dude, but I do enjoy trash talking virtual people when I murder them.
Hot Pursuit was 4/5 last year and made the top 5, if I'm not mistaken. Stars are just one duder's opinion. I can see SR3 making the list. It'll be on mine, for sure.
PC Gamer's review summed up exactly how I feel about MW3:
"Modern Warfare 3 is linear, badly written and one note. It’s still, from a certain angle, regressive. It’s also fun."
As far as Kill Confirmed goes, it's nothing especially new but my friend and I had a blast in it the other night. I'm a very casual multiplayer guy, but I've been really enjoying and playing a lot of Kill Confirmed. And Survival mode (definitely not anything groundbreaking) is way more fun than I expected it to be.
