Portal 2

Portal 2 by Valve Corporation

Portal 2 is a sequel to the original Portal, the game features a story mode and a co-op mode that can be played split screen or with friends on PSN or Xbox Live. The game features puzzles that can be solved with linking portals together. The story mode can be very confusing at times and hard to follow although being confused with the plot will not make the levels boring. There is a major plot twist in the game that was very unexpected and adds a very enjoyable experience. There is available DLC with more levels to complete. This game is fun but can only be played once for the best experience due to the challenge of finding out how to complete the levels. The co-op is very entertaining to play with a friend and adds to the games enjoyable factor. I would recommend this game to anyone who is looking for a challenging puzzle solving game.

Dead Space 3

Dead Space 3 developed by Visceral Games and published by EA is yet another game following the sequel of Dead Space. This game was released on February 5th, 2013 and has much hype about it. It has a third person feel similar to Gears of War. 

Madden 13

Madden 13 by EA Sports

Madden 13 is another Madden game with the same style of play and the major difference being the graphics. Personally buying new sports game is all about the hype the developers put out there about new game modes. These game modes sometimes aren't even fun or are a revamped version of other game modes. One plus to buying a new game is the updated rosters, updating rosters can be a pain your not connected to online. The game has a different feel from Madden 12 due to the motion blur that is far more buggy than adding a better gaming experience. I would suggest getting Madden 13 if your most recent football game is Madden 10 or if you do not own a sports game. The online is another major reason to purchase this game because friends will be wanting to play and you cannot play between two different years.

Far Cry 3

Ubisoft's Far Cry 3 is the third addition to the Far Cry series, although it is not the sequel to Far Cry 2, it still has similar graphics and styles. The plot of the game is very predictable and has several animations that are repeated throughout the game. The game offers many side missions to attempt as a break from the main plot or more activities to do after the main plot is completed.
