- 2012’s Hugest Games
What’s in store for PlayStation gamers in the coming year? We put our brains together to determine 2012’s “hugest” games of 2012 and tackle a few rumors in the process. Some are obvious—BioShock Infinite, Grand Theft Auto V, and Mass Effect 3—while others might be surprise hits—Starhawk and Lollipop Chainsaw. Check if our picks match up with yours.

- Modern Warfare 3 vs. Battlefield 3
Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3 go head-to-head in what we’re pretty sure will be our most flamed review feature ever.

- Tom Clancy’s Rainbow 6: Patriots
The Rainbowfranchise takes a turn toward the dark and ethically divisive with its latest entry. Homegrown terrorism isn’t new to games, but we’ve never seen it quite like this.

- The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
We were going to make a “take an arrow to the knee” joke, but then we were actually shot in the knees. Which is fortunate as our injury gave us plenty of downtime to explore Skyrim’s vast and detailed realm for our in-depth review. Our favorite activity (besides dueling dragons)? Being smashed and flung hundreds of feet into the air by giants (while we giggled like children). This is one RPG that should not be missed.
