I agree with most games on the list but I think Fallout New Vegas should be higher on the list.
It’ll surely move higher when the release date draws closer and Bethesda start advertising harder.
So many awesome games so little time to play them all, this is shaping up to be one of the greater gaming years on record.
I couldn’t agree with you more DL it’ll be a great year indeed.
