It’s christmas time, and boy do I have a present for you guys! We are giving away a copy of “Rise of the Guardians” for Xbox 360.

Scissored from the british Amazon website:

Let your imagination soar in Rise of the Guardians: The Video Game as you play as one of the classic childhood legends, including: North (aka Santa Claus), Tooth (aka the Tooth Fairy), Bunnymund (aka the Easter Bunny), Sandman, and Jack Frost. Let your imagination soar in Rise of the Guardians: The Video Game as you play as one of the classic childhood legends, including: North (aka Santa Claus), Tooth (aka the Tooth Fairy), Bunnymund (aka the Easter Bunny), Sandman, and Jack Frost. In this action-packed adventure game, each Guardian has their own set of upgradable and extraordinary abilities that will help you take on the evil spirit “Pitch” and his infectious nightmares. Along the way, you’ll unlock new powers and spellbinding special moves that will increase your character’s strength and skills throughout the game, plus you can unleash cool team attacks with your fellow heroes. With drop-in-and-out multiplayer action supporting up to four players on consoles, you and your team of Guardians will work together to protect the hopes, beliefs and imaginations of children all over the world!

This months debate: Which of this years games is your all time favourite? I’ll give you a rundown of mine from this years selection. Next month it’s all about the packshots as I also did last year.

Biggest launch

Diablo III (review)

With more than 3.5 million sold copies in the first 24 hours of the launch, there really is no contender for this status. Despite launch problems, servers melting and hacking claims, Blizzard managed to pull it off.

Mass Effect 3 (review)

Rounds off the Mass Effect trilogy – and even with mixed reception, the game sold well. Bioware responded with making and releasing a DLC going by the name Extended Cut – Rounds off the Mass Effect trilogy – and even with mixed reception, the game sold well. Bioware responded with making and releasing a DLC going by the name Extended Cut – for free . Good Guy Bioware.

Sleeping Dogs (just played)

With lots of GTA elements (mad driving, missions and shooting), you’re the law this time. With melee combat that feels like it took inspiration from the recent Batman games, this game is pure fun.

Borderlands 2 (review)

Just as nuts as it’s predecessor, Borderlands 2 manages to expand on the story in the wasteland. There’s a little more colour to the whole scheme, but the fun puns has been kept.

Forza Horizon (review)

In my opinion, this is by far the driving game of the year. With bright colours, curvy roads and a big party, this games makes every other racing game fade.

Far Cry 3

Highly anticipated and very well received, I’ve yet to see or hear a criticial review. Highly anticipated and very well received, I’ve yet to see or hear a criticial review.

Deadlight (review)

Short and sweet, I had a little flashback to LIMBO, yet this game required a little more timing at certain moments. Very recommended. Short and sweet, I had a little flashback to LIMBO, yet this game required a little more timing at certain moments. Very recommended.

Best handheld

Gravity Rush (review)

One of the games that truly amazed me – and so far holds this site highest review score. New gameplay mechanics, a well written story and a good execution makes this game remarkable.

Fez

Winning and being nominated to several awards brings this game on the map. Winning and being nominated to several awards brings this game on the map.

Twisted Metal (just played)

The Twisted metal got a reboot, and I must admit that they did it pretty well. This years TM game is mindblowingly fun and all about flying pieces of metal and heavy weaponry.

Mario Party 9

There’s no way this game is not gonna appear here. You can convince anyone, even non-gamers to make a punch at this game. There’s no way this game is not gonna appear here. You can convince anyone, even non-gamers to make a punch at this game.

Fifa Street

I actually think Fifa Street beats this years regular fifa game. With a bigger library of tricks, there’s a whole other challenge going on. I actually think Fifa Street beats this years regular fifa game. With a bigger library of tricks, there’s a whole other challenge going on.

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (review)

We’re back in the alternative world of deception, family feuds and world domination, all solved with fist fights. We’re back in the alternative world of deception, family feuds and world domination, all solved with fist fights.

Invite your girls home to a dance off in your own living room, everybody will have fun with this game. Invite your girls home to a dance off in your own living room, everybody will have fun with this game.

Nintendoland

Nintendo are great at making games that engage more than one player at once, and refer to games we played as kids in the garden. The lead title for their new console is no exception.

Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale

Players around the world calls this game Sonys version of Super Smash Bros., and the demo kind of let many people down. Luckily the final game introduced players to more combat moves, which was a huge step up from the demos.

Best games for kids

Skylanders Giants

More figurines to collect. And the kids have something to show off on the shelves. More figurines to collect. And the kids have something to show off on the shelves.

Book of Spells (review)

Many kids will love the experience of the magic in this game – and with peripherals as the Move controller and the Wonderbook, it’s quite easy to get immersed in the game.

The great relaunces of the year

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection (review)

The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection is a solid reboot of the Metal gear series, and it’s amazing to play on the Playstation Vita. The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection is a solid reboot of the Metal gear series, and it’s amazing to play on the Playstation Vita.

A war broke out, leaving many people both death and lost. You’re looking for your daughter, while defeating the intrusion of the aliens to protect earth and the human kind.

There is nothing like madness a teenager can make if they have a chainsaw at hand. Defeat the zombies while cheering. There is nothing like madness a teenager can make if they have a chainsaw at hand. Defeat the zombies while cheering.

Most inventive

The Unfinished Swan (just played)

It’s not often game developers think out of the box, trying to be out of the ordinary, not when there’s already proven ways to make a game that sells. They have with The Unfinished Swan – you have to paint the world around you.

Surprisingly good

SSX (just played)

I expected quite a bit from this reboot, and I was not disappointed – with new gameplay mechanics and mountains from the real world, the developers did a really good job. I still think they should have kept the subtitle “Deadly Descents” – yeah I’m quite tired of all these reboots of old games with the same titles.

Tokyo Jungle (just played)

Another game that’s out of the ordinary. Humans are dead, and you are taking control of various animals through out the city of Tokyo, where nature is in the process of taking over. Survive.

The over hyped

Call of Duty: Black Ops II

Activision has made yet another Call of Duty game – and as always, the fans eat it up. I can’t but help wonder why. They complain the game is the same, yet buys it.

Could have been so much better

Wrecked: Revenge Revisited (just played)

Just as Things on Wheels disappointed me a couple years ago, this game did so too. Not as severely though, but I’m not going to boot the game up again. I have better RC and Kart racers in my game collection. Just as Things on Wheels disappointed me a couple years ago, this game did so too.

The ones I avoided

Touch my Katamari

At first glance, I thought this game would be huge fun from the teaser trailer and I thought it looked neat with the Vita’s functions. When I got to try it, the game was simply too “high” for me to cope with.

007: Legends

This is essentially a reboot of older James Bond games to promote the new Skyfall movie – Skyfall part for the game was released as free DLC. This looks like a failed attempt as opposed to the aforementioned games.
