Rated NA 87: The Year in Preview
It’s the year 2013. Ash makes a fly-by of the games coming out in the first quarter, and we give our early opinions about each. We go in-depth with Rad Soldiers, Fable: The Journey, Downtown Abbey, Far Cry 3 and more tales from the ‘verse in FTL. Finally, Matt previews some likely nerdy highlights of all of 2013 including movies, comics, and tech. And, as always, your responses in our NAQOTW. Warm up your crystal balls and plug in that crusty Zoltar machine… It’s time!
Woo! Thank you so much for the smart phone game recommendations. Totally going to check out Monsters Ate My Condo. After giggling at hearing my name.
I really think you guys have sold me on Borderlands 2. I wasn’t too excited about it (haven’t had much gaming time), but how much you adore it really makes me want to make time to play it.
I didn’t know about XCOM until last month, and the more I hear about it the more excited I get about it. I feel like a lot of strategy games have fallen by the wayside, but they were always a genre that could keep me up and not blinking till the wee hours of morning. I didn’t get to play it at PAX, but I am keen on trying it out now!
I’m kinda surprised you guys aren’t more excited about Dishonoured!
Hey there Amanda! Dishonored is coming out at SUCH a bad time for me. Not only is it coming out the SAME DAY as XCOM (which I’m more excited about than anything), but also right around the same time as RE6 and some Borderlands 2 DLC. As for Borderlands, It’s an incredible experience with 4 players. At it’s core though, it’s still an FPS, so if you don’t like shooters you won’t like Borderlands 2 .
