Games I played in 2013

A companion to the "Games I finished in 2013" list. I'm not including iOS games, since I jump in and out of those too often to really count.

Far Cry 3

1. Far Cry 3

Finished this one early in the year. Great game. Loved the open world gameplay. I hope they put out some single player DLC.

Borderlands 2

2. Borderlands 2

This got lost in the shuffle last year. I bought it when it came out, played it for an hour, then didn't touch it until February of this year. I played the original and all the expansions. So far this sequel is hitting all the right notes. UPDATE (May 2013) - Still fun, but the game is starting to drag. I can't force myself to do only story missions though, so it is partly my fault.

Dead Space 3

3. Dead Space 3

I expect this will be the 2nd game I finish this year. I've put in about 8 hours so far. I loved the first two games and so far this is scratching that same itch. The last 1/3 of the game is disappointing.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

4. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I've played about 80 hours of this game (most of it on the XBox 360, but I've restarted on the PC). Still haven't beat the game. I'm loving all the graphical upgrades the PC version offers. I've put in about 2 hours into the PC version, but I haven't fully committed because I don't want to lose my life to this game again.

SimCity

5. SimCity

Pre-ordered this, but servers at launch are making me wait for a while before I dig into it. UPDATE (May) - Still haven't really gone back to this. They made some updates, but apparently they have some bugs to still work out.

Tomb Raider

6. Tomb Raider

Played the PC version of this. Great graphics and fun gameplay. It's more Uncharted than Tomb Raider though, so I'm hoping the sequel gets back to the globe trotting the series is known for. Like Farcry 3, I'm up for any continuation of the single player story in DLC. As of June, I'm replaying it on the PS3.

7. BioShock 2

I've heard so many good things about Minerva's Den, that I figured I'd go back and play through it on PC before Bioshock Infinite is released. I played through the full game on XBox 360 already, so having to play through on keyboard (no controller option as far as I know) is taking some getting used to. EDIT: September 2013 - Never did go back to it on PC, but now I'm playing through it on PS3. Even though it was rated very highly by critics, it feels under-appreciated by the gaming public. EDIT 2: After beating the PS3 version, I went back to the 360 version to play and beat the Minerva's Den DLC (I don't own it on PS3).

StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm

8. StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm

I'm hoping this is great. I loved the original Starcraft and Starcraft II. The first hour of the game didn't start off right for me though...1 hard crash to desktop and another long hang that required me to force quit the game. Grrr.

BioShock Infinite

9. BioShock Infinite

This was my most anticipated game for 2 years. Got it and beat it in about 12 hours. I know this is one I'll replay several times (just like the first two).

StarCraft

10. StarCraft

After finishing Heart of the Swarm, got the urge to go back and replay through the games for the story. Playing just a few missions at a time. Not in any rush to get through everything now.
