[Episode 56] The Most Anticipated Games of 2012 of All Time

Vigil80 · 02-22-2012, 09:03 PM

Picking up where we left off with The IMmies - and filling time during a slow release period - our trio of podcasters runs down the titles we're most looking forward to in 2012. Listen in and wait for the "Oh yeah!" moment when we remind you of a game you forgot was coming. Of course, we also announce the winner of our IMmies giveaway.

Preceding that, we cast a critical eye at the well-worn "Top X Games of All Time" feature. Everyone likes lists, it's true, but is this particular well running dry? Is it really "of all time" if it's revisited and revised every year? Perhaps a new game comes out that deserves a spot, but what does it say when the previous #1 falls over 25 places down?

It wouldn't feel right without What We've Been Playing. We weigh in again on Arkham City, Skyrim and sighting an actual Elder Scroll, our first forays into The Old Republic, X3: Terran Conflict (turns out the "time accelerator" is a real thing), and forays into the Diablo 3 beta, in which we now have at least two of the crew participating. And as we mull over the mammoths that are X3 and Skyrim, ask yourself: If you never saw the ending, did you finish playing?

Give our oh-so-optimistic episode a listen here.

Man, I got some thinking to do. I'm tempted to be a smartass and say, "Give Bastion to Fishbang so he'll fucking play it already," but I have a feeling that will not end as intended.

I'll have a look at my friends list this week and give it a think.

For what it's worth, I would support forcing fishbang to play Bastion through guilt if necessary.
