Guild Wars 2 is still Beta and it is only a Cider wrapper not native, plays pretty good, well it does for me.

What's wrong with Euro Truck Simulator 2? Do you have a better candidate for best Sim game of the year?

Yay for PlanetSide 2!
Totally deserved best multiplayer shooter, though Natural Selection 2 and Tribe: Ascend were also great contenders.

Went out on a limb and purchased FTL. I mean for $4.99... I'll report back. Just went through the tutorial. It's interesting. This looks like it would be an outstanding iOS game and there are rumors that it could be.

FTL is well worth the money!

Mass Effect 3 is a good game, not as good as ME2, but better than ME1.
For some reason people seem to hate it because style don't like how they made the ending. PLay Me2 before ME3 in my opinion, the games are quite linked.

XCOM, don't get me started.. It's heroine, once you start, you can't quit! I played they the campaign in one week! It took 30 hours..

GW2 was a fresh breath in the MMO industry, but I don't have time for this anymore, so I've leveled to max level in GW2, but haven't really done anything after that except a few WvWvW games and a handful of instances.

FTL at half price is a great game.

It punishes you, and you go back for more.
