@Aria1368 Let me guess - you're on the oh-so-trendy Microsoft hate bandwagon, right?

O.K., Just watched "The Division" coverage. Interesting ideas and incredible attention to detail. Not gonna change my list (as seen below), but will tie Watch Dogs at #6 with same explanation.

By constantly oppressing others through video games other mass medias the American government has inadvertently caged themselves.

@Landsharkk Remember when it was revealed that MS hired a bunch of PR guys try to post positive comments around the internet? This looks like one of those cases.

This "anonymous engineer" and M$'s would have never come out stating that they wanted lowered the price of games if the Xbox One got good reception.

@Sevenizz @Dantat @Landsharkk Did I say Sony doesn't do it? I am calling simply out the MS BS, not defending Sony. You're the one who sounds butthurt fanboy fool.

@Sevenizz @Dantat @Landsharkk it doesn't matter. The cloud might make it run stuff a little better but it won't make the system itself more powerful. Look at his own words.

New service using Azure for cloud compute. Allows developers to not use clients for hosting multiplayer servers, or other tasks that do not require per frame calcuations.

Its not going to make games run better. If they really were going to go this route they should have just made a gaming service instead of claiming to make a gaming console. Besides even if it did, the technology or method isn't copyrighted. Sony could do the same thing on a smaller scale without a problem.

@Dantat @Landsharkk What about hired marketers who post positive things in comment section of a bad product in gaming sites. Do they exist? :p

@tahsineo Yeah it was. They had a demo for it and nobody could beat the boss. At least that was as of last night. Really wish I could tackle it, but I can wait to play it. Got plenty to hold me over until March.

Call of Duty Ghosts! I didn't think they could really innovate upon Black Ops 2 seeing as it was the best game of 2012, but they somehow manage to do it. Man, I'm just itching to control that dog. Great job Infinity Ward.

@ramey85 @Thyasianman Joking about what? Black Ops 2 being the best game of 2012? Or how excited I am to control a dog in Ghosts. I wouldn't make any jokes about the best games ever. They seemingly innovate each and every game, especially as of recently. I mean how brilliant to add dogs and fishes! I wish I thought've that! Also, I'm hoping they add a progression system for the dog because I'd really like to customize him with lasers and bandanas.

You guys really need to watch the Ubisoft press conference. Yes I know the Microsoft and Sony conferences drew the most attention but you missed out on seeing the best game of them all: "The Division." Go see it. Now. It will change your life.

Feel like I should give a nod to Murdered: Soul Suspect which looked like an interesting game. Dying Light, zombies & parkour :) And the return of Pikmin!
