    Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch for PS3 comes out this month. That is looking pretty fantastic.

    I'm not 100% sure. It's probably either FFVII, FFVIII, FFIX or Kingdom Hearts. I played them all so many times as a kid I probably played each one for hundreds of hours. Something I just can't do any more.

    Though in recent memory it was probably Oblivion. I played it for about 100 hours on PS3 and another 100 on 360.

    Sony are struggling, and sometimes you do get the impression they don't learn from their own mistakes. The Vita is currently making the same mistakes that plagued the PSP. The biggest games just being ports/portable console games and not many killer games, despite having great hardware.

    They also (at least in gaming) have a recent habit of releasing great hardware and stop supporting it after the release window. After they released Move they pretty much ignored it, I guess you can say Wonderbook is doing more stuff with it, but give it a few months and that will be ignored also. On the other end you have Microsoft whoring the flawed Kinect and guess what, it worked. They actually put effort into advertising it. Even if Move is technically a better piece of hardware, Sony did nothing with it and it shows because it failed.

    Now look at the Vita, a fantastic machine with great potential and they've barely done anything with it since launch. Their E3 2012 conference pretty much ignored it, only mentioning a CoD Vita game (which ended up being one of the worst thing ever released) They finally mentioned games at Gamescom, but since they haven't really shown what it can do in 2013. What do we have to look forward to? Killzone, the new Media Molecule game, that's about it really. That is terrible. Yeah, the PS+ thing has helped (Gravity Rush for free, yes please!) but outside of PSP and PS1 games I have no other reason to touch my Vita. I want it to succeed, but I really don't think it will.

    I really think Sony aren't good against actual competitors. In the PS1 and PS2 eras, you had a burnt out SEGA, a struggling Nintendo and newcomers Microsoft. Sony was able to grab the market and run with it. They tried to enter the Nintendo owned handheld market and did ok, but ultimately got their arses kicked by Nintendo.

    They hoped the PS3 would do the same thing as the PS1 and PS2 and it didn't quite work, they got too cocky. That allowed Microsoft to gain more ground, after they learnt from the mistakes of the xbox and hit the ground running. Sony finally had actual competition in the console market and guess what they lost. Well not really, in actual fact no-one has lost this console war, but you get my point they are at the bottom in terms of console sales. The PS3 is better now, but in the early days the PS3 was a train wreak, and it was the kick in the teeth Sony needed. But I don't think Sony has learnt many lessons. Though we will have to see what the PS4 is like before I make that judgement.

    4 million units for Homefront 2? They had high hopes there.

    Unlike most years I'm not actually sure. I've played many great games, many I loved but I'm not sure of my top 3.

    Borderlands 2 - Improved upon the first game in every way. Also the funny and witty dialogue is an added bouns.

    Witcher 2 (360) - I loved every minute of this game. One of the best RPG's this generation for sure.

    I can't pick a third right now. I loving Far Cry 3 and Walking Dead but I haven't played enough of them to judge. I also loved Mass Effect 3 and Assassins Creed 3 but they had their flaws.
