Bed Against The Wall: January 2013

In the same spirit as last year, this is a (preliminary) list of game I'm interested in, releasing in 2013.

First of all, let's revisit 2012... Here are the games I was interested in last year, together with the outcome -- at least according to me:

Star Wars: The Old Republic: skipped it
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning: it was okay, but nothing special
Binary Domain: let-down
SSX: okay, not great
Syndicate: let-down
Jak and Daxter Collection: great nostalgia trip
The Darkness 2: actually quite an awesome game
I am Alive: didn't buy it
Mass Effect 3: the one which disconnected me from the series (and I was a huge fan). I've heard there's some great DLC, but I've yet to play it
Diablo III: okay, but not as I expected
Devil May Cry HD Collection: have yet to buy it
Silent Hill HD Collection: have yet to buy it
Prey 2: didn't release
Starhawk: meh
Far Cry 3: awesome! In my 2012 top five list
Max Payne 3: a great game, but alas missed by many top 2012 lists
Darksiders II: greatly enjoyed it
Prototype 2: okay, but quickly forgotten compared to the other open-world games of 2012
Tomb Raider: didn't release
Guild Wars 2: best MMORPG of the moment
Borderlands 2: not bad, but got a bit of a "more of the same"-feeling here
The Last Guardian: didn't release
Lollipop Chainsaw: fun, but not spectacular
Grand Theft Auto V: didn't release
BioShock Infinite: didn't release
Doom 4: didn't release
Journey: again an awesome game, top listed
XCOM: Enemy Unknown: another great title and a must-play
Monaco: fun indie game
The Witness: did this release?
Firefall: still waiting
Cube World: didn't release
Overgrowth: did this release?
Path of Exile: couldn't hype me
Grim Dawn: didn't release
Starfarer: did this release?
Legend of Grimrock: a great indie title but alas flew a bit under the radar
Torchlight II: gave me more hours of fun than Diablo III did
Survivors of Ragnarok: did this release?
Project Zomboid: did this release? I should check up on this one
Masters of the Broken World: did this release?
Warlock: Master of the Arcane: did this release?
A Game of Dwarves: let-down
Jagged Alliance: let-down
Castle Story: didn't release
Retro City Rampage: actually pretty fun

There where also some surprises which I didn't list last year, most notably: Dishonored, Faster Than Light, Fez, Spelunky, Sleeping Dogs, The Walking Dead, Hitman: Absolution and Hotline Miami.

And thus, my top 10 of 2012:
