Gotta say Far Cry 3 has my interests piqued. Sure, I'm excited for X-COM, but I have a pretty good idea what to expect there. Far Cry has been inching closer and closer to the open world survival of STALKER over the iterations; and as that is my favorite FPS genre, it has the most potential for excellence as well as disappointment to me.
edit: Forza Horizon might be cool as well. The reason I haven't bought a driving 'sim' since SegaGT 2002 on the first Xbox is because I prefer my driving games to be open world. Driving nothing but closed predefined tracks is a bummer.
It came down to either AC3 or Hitman: Absolution for me. Thing is, I feel like I just played an Assassin's Creed game, but it's been forever since Hitman, and I adored the other games in the series. I'm really excited to see what Absolution brings to the table.
Other than those, my interest has been piqued in XCOM by all the coverage and talk surrounding it, but popular consensus makes it seem like I would be history's greatest monster if I tried to play it on my 360 or PS3, so I dunno.
PSASBR (PlayStation All-Star........name is too long, and they should cut it) is something I am somewhat looking forward to. I'm really looking forward to Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch. It will probably be my first game of 2013.
It bums me out there isn't more excitement for Black Ops II.
Im going to purchase Black Ops 2, most of the people that hate on it will buy it...
So much of the hatred just seems to stem from FPS/COD fatigue, though, which is understandable. It just pains me to see that a lot of people are overlooking the seriously colossal changes Treyarch are bringing to the table to re-invent and/or re-vitalise the series because of it.
I voted Assassins creed 3 but I'd have to say Dishonoured, Black ops 2, Borderlands 2, Hitman, Resi 6 and Far cry 3 are all probably up there too. Damn there is a lot of big games coming out soon. A lot of first person games too I thought they were going out of fashion.

Yeah it's sad. I am really looking forward to Black Ops 2. I really enjoyed wager matches in the 1st one. I think Black Ops 2, Halo 4, and Gears: Judgment will be the biggest competitive multiplayer games that will be out prior to next gen consoles.
I wanted to pick dishonored because that I feel will be the sleeper hit of the year (contending with Sleeping Dogs for that title I'm guessing), but Halo 4 has got to me my choice here. I really want to know if 343 Industries can make a better Halo game than Bungie, the original creators. In that one trailer they sold me more on wanting a Halo game than any game past Halo 3 from Bungie personally.
RE6, and I pray to God that it will rectify some of the anti-climatic ending of the 5th. Although the 5th is a great game to play (gameplay wise etc) the story line (taken 4++ other games before building up to this) was really a downer. Sometimes its best not to know, cuz knowing is dulling the imagination. Weskers plans in the 5th was braindead. I hope the 6th reveals something fascinating new to the universe.
NBA 2K13, though I'll most likely get that on my PC. All the roster changes are insane in the league this year and the gameplay changes they're making also look awesome. 2K12 was my most played game of this year and 2K13 looks to take just as much time of my life.
None, but since there is no "none" option i voted Hitman Absolution to see the results.
Still got a backlog of games from earlier this year and years past and i'm on my way to the store to pick up Guild Wars 2 and that will be plenty to keep me occupied until GTA V comes out and then on to the next gen of consoles i guess. I am done with this gen.
Since the upcoming season may be cancelled, I'm mostly looking forward to NHL 13 to satisfy my hockey cravings. Other than that, I'd say Borderlands 2.
Dead or Alive 5 and Assassin's Creed 3 if I save some money to get those but X COM is the only one that is a must buy , I thought they were being old-PC grampas with the "this game is harrd!" but after seeing that 1h demo is not a joke! and I like that I'm all up for a good challenge and those games don't come often to consoles that's why I'm excited fo it.
Borderlands 2 would be my pick, but I'm getting it on the PC so i guess that makes it so I can't pick it. Halo 4 would then be my pick, mainly because I want to see what they do with it.
Fifa 13, closely followed by Hitman: Absolution and Far Cry 3, which is then followed by Assassin's Creed 3. But looking at the list, I think that Q4 this year is looking rather dull.
