Today in Speak-Up on Kotaku, commenter Culebra takes a look at the biggest games of the year that he never got around to playing. Which have you missed? Well, we’re almost at the end of the year, and as we know, we’ll all see the same ‘Best Of Year’ lists that’ll have the same four or so games on it. You’ll also see those lists that try to be different, but probably aren’t.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); This is one of those. My focus: Big releases that for some reason or other, you just didn’t play. For me, six big names pop to mind. 1: Halo: Reach That one you could blame on Halo 3 and ODST. As much as I loved Halo 1 and 2, there was somehing I just didn’t like about Halo 3, and it grew worse with time. And ODST didn’t help much either, as I sent it back to Gamefly without even beating it. So I guess falling out of love with the series is what held me back. 2: Fallout: New Vegas I loved Fallout 3. It was a post apocalyptic Oblivion, two things I adored. I sank so many hours into that game, and did H25 damn near everything in it. Every quest, every dlc. But by the time Zeta dropped, I was getting sick of it. It felt like I was eating the same meal day in day out. No matter how tasty, you get sick of it. So Vegas is a victim of ‘Too Soon’ for me. 3: Call Of Duty: Black Ops Did every game have a :Subtitle this year? Sheesh. Mostly the ones I didn’t play, it seems. This one suffers from the same ‘Too Soon’ syndrome Fallout did, with the major difference being that I’m a casual COD player at best, so I’ve always been bi-annual with the series. 4: Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood Not sure if that ‘:’ officially belongs there…but I think the h25 com สล็อต​ theme must not be broken. This one could be chucked up to me not being a fan of the series in general. Which h25 com เข้าสู่ระบบ​ was odd, as people everywhere were harping on about how 2 was the greatest thing since toilets, and I’m there wondering if we’re playing the same game. So, Brotherhood just held no appeal. 5: Gran Turismo 5: Epilogue I know it doesn’t belong there. Shut up. I also know that GT fans can be quite cultish, and I totally expect to wake up strapped to my floor surrounded by hooded figures. But that doesn’t change the fact that I haven’t loved a GT since 2, for whatever reason. I don’t dislike them, and GT5 sits on my ‘I’ll get to it’ list, but that won’t be happening in 2010. 6: Civilization 5 To keep it nice and simple, I’ve never played a Civ game, so the draw isn’t there. I think I’m reserving this one as an emergency game, for a period of time where there aren’t any immediate releases, and I need something long and engrossing. So there you have it, my ‘Big Games Everyone Has Apparently Played But Me’ list.
