    1) Saints Row the 3rd

    Technically came out late 2011 but I just played it. Everything I hated about GTA is fixed in this game. It's the GTA I've wanted since the start. Ridiculous, over the top and most of all it has missions and characters that I actually enjoy.

    1)Lone Survivor

    Who ever though a pixel art game could be scary? This game was a wonderful mindfuck and was like a David Lynch production with one major difference. You didn't hate the ending.

    1)Faster Than Light

    Space exploration games,micromangement games and rougelikes usually take a lot of time to learn and are a big commitment. FTL melds the 3 in a format that you can play without the huge time commitment.

    1)The Walking Dead

    Two words. Holy Fuck. This game REALLY pushed the adventure genre forward. Can't say much without ruining the story except it's really really good.

    1)Hotline Miami

    I haven't played a game this intense in years. The story kept you wanting more. One of the few games I've played lately where I had to go back and be a completionist. Absolutely loved this game. Cactus has paid his dues for years and I'm so glad to see his first commercial endeavor is such a success.

    Also my biggest disappointment was Retro City Rampage. Was awesome for the first 40 mins then I realized this game was just an endless delivery of winks and nods but the underlying game was actually quite boring.

    EDIT: I havent played Xcom yet. I'm guessing it would be on my list if I had.

    Giantbomb has been gushing like crazy about this game. Enough to make me buy it on the steam sale. Looking forward to getting this started.

    Saints Row the 3rd kind of ruined GTA for me. I'm looking forward to the 4th (I hope!) now much more.

    Basically I got bored of the main story an missions in all the GTA's I've ever played. SR3 I kept wanting more. It's mainly a gameplay issue.

    Game looks gorgeous though.

    Hey guys, I had a little delay getting my PSP-Vita developers license so I spent a good portion of this month working on a flash arcade style game. It pays homage to platformer shooting games like Nam1975 for the NeoGeo

    You can play it here

    ^^ This. Was it not supposed to be at least 12 months ago ?

  • RAGE: The Scorchers

    • December 15, 2012 at 9:53 AM

    I loved Rage. All they needed to do was remove everything to do with vehicles and character discussions. The FPS combat was the best in a long time.

    I really wish someone would make some kind of mod that does that.

    EDIT: Flamethrowers have never fixed anything as far as I remember though :/

  • Awesome looking games that have never seen the light of day

    My guess is you have to expose this through code to an entity.

    If you base your purchase decision on an award won at the VGAs: they win.

    very cool. Did you use a known algorithm or did you come up with this yourself?

    Quote from marks

    I've been following this for quite a while on TIGSource - the artwork is mindblowing. I'm more excited about Stealer than I have been about almost all AAA releases this year.

    what is the tigsource thread? is it in feedback?

    also I have no idea what this is from the video. Some sort of pixel art movie?

    Man... I pretty much own all of those games already :X

    that said I just started playing SR3 tonight. I liked the first 90 mins more than the entire 40 hours I played of GTA4.
