1. The Walking Dead
RATING: 5/5
This episodic series is AMAZING! Hands down my favorite story in a videogame in a long long time. Some episodes are action packed and have a lot of player involvement while others are more dialogue choices and character building, which is very well done. I attached myself to these characters and at the end of the game Episode 5, my eyes were watery. It grab me. Every time a new episode came out I played it as soon as I could and didnt stop until I finished it(about 2-4 hours an episode) I love the AMC show and have a few of the original comics and having been collecting the new reprints, so I do like this universe and story. But I also like Halo and Mass Effects too, just The Walking Dead was a refreshing change of pace to my normal selection of games. Also Gary Whitta!

2. Halo 4
Pre-RATING: 5/5
POST:(12/12)
PRE:(10/8) Probably will be my number one game of year or top 3. I've really loved all the Halo games. (even Halo Wars) I always play on Legendary my first time and really enjoy the experience. Getting the achievement in Halo Reach for beating the game on legendary - solo on my first play through was a great feeling. I hope there will be a similar acquirement in Halo 4. Not too mention the countless hours of multiplayer and forge mode. This new mode Spartan Ops sounds cool and could make me play it even longer. Mid- To High expectations: Pre-Ordered Legendary Edition.

3. Borderlands 2
RATING: 4.5/5
POST:(12/12)
PRE:(10/8) So far about a quarter of the way through (not much time to play it, plus looting eveything everytime...) I really enjoyed the first game and played it a number of time through, solo and co-op. The co-op is always fun and different. The loot and guns are always a fun twist on this game. In this one more then the first I find myself switching weapons more. Elemental and even different types. I know mostly in B1 I just stood by my one gun until I found a better one down the road. Combat is fun and the AI is smart and not "dead". Countless hours of enjoyment here. I got the Ultimate Loot Chest Edition and I think it was worth it. That Chest alone looks so bad ass and holds some of my game stuff. In game content is cool too.

7. Mass Effect 3
RATING: 3.5/5 Single - 5/5 Multiplayer
POST:(12/12)
PRE:(10/8) Umm lets see...Mass Effect 3. Lets start by saying this is my least favorite of the series and I actually like the first Mass Effect the most, I think just due to the fact of there wasn't anything like it at the time and I looked far past the problems of that game. ME2 a very close second, Its clearly a better game then 1 or 3 but it's not what were talking about... Mass Effect 3: I enjoyed it a lot and still loved this game and the ending did not crush me. Was not a huge deal I kind of went the whole indoctrination theory, seems most logical and I support it. The game was fun they took some steps back from ME2 which surprised me. i.e. Mining and galaxy map with reapers. Mainly flaws but many good things. My favorite of Mass Effect 3 is the multiplayer. FUN. FUN. FUN. Micro-transactions NOT FUN but you can easily get enough creds to buy those packs. If anything the multiplayer will help this game on my list. But this is sadly not a better Mass Effect 2. Got the Collectors Edition.

9. Spec Ops: The Line
RATING: 4/5
I really, really enjoyed the story telling in this game. The choices you make go from bad to worse with no good choices. After playing the game I listened to GameSpots spoilercast of this game with Jeff Gerstmann it really explains a ton of the story that most missed, including me. I plan on replaying the story to make other choices and notice the things I missed. I didnt touch the multiplayer and dont really plan to. I only paid $5 for this game from Amazon and I thought that was a fair price but now that its back to the normal $30 price I would buy it for that. Really surprised at how good of a game this was. Its a slow start but it snowballs.
