The year is still young, but we've already seen a handful of amazing games release within it. The notable titles include DmC: Devil May Cry, Tomb Raider, Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, Fire Emblem: Awakening, Dead Space 3, Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Crysis 3, SimCity: Castlevania: Mirror of Fate, and Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time.

If you are looking at that list thinking, "I need to get my ass in gear and play some of these games," let me remind you that God of War: Ascension and StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm release tomorrow. Gears of war: Judgment and BioShock Infinite are just around the corner.

Of the games you've had the time to play, what is your early Game of the Year so far? I had a blast finishing Tomb Raider this weekend, but Lara's return falls just short of my current Game of the Year frontrunner, Ni no Kuni. This JRPG hits all of the right notes for me. It's charming as all get out and I love how the story unfolds. I'm currently obsessing over the game's bounty hunts.

i have a feeling that it will be bioshock infinite
by Andrewforbes88 Monday, March 11, 2013 at 08:48 PM

I'm going to get hell for this but so far... Dead Space 3
by Right_Man_Wrong_Place Monday, March 11, 2013 at 08:48 PM

I have yet to play a single game that's come out in 2013. I'm saving my cash for Bioshock Infinite. So until that comes out... I'm really liking Deus Ex: Human Revolution...

I haven't played anything that originally released this year. Can the Wii U Virtual Console release of F-Zero count?
by John Hunter Monday, March 11, 2013 at 08:48 PM

The year of the colon. Seriously look at all the : in those titles
by ZestyNoodles Monday, March 11, 2013 at 08:49 PM

I'm so far behind... I haven't picked up a single new release at all this year, but when Bioshock comes that's (I dear god hope) going to be my GOTY, for now. Just wait until May and hand me Pikmin 3 and that's a WHOLE new story. Dear god I want Pikmin 3 right now D:!!!
by Steel braker Monday, March 11, 2013 at 08:49 PM

So far I would say Tomb Raider for sure. graphics game play and story. Loved this game!
by FinalFantasy1026 Monday, March 11, 2013 at 08:49 PM

If I had to go with games released already it would definitely be Ni No Kuni. I also loved Fire Emblem, Castlevania: LoS - MoF, and DmC. All I know is, God of War is out tomorrow and Bioshock Infinite is out two weeks after that, so that's all I'm looking forward to.
by shooterboy23 Monday, March 11, 2013 at 08:49 PM

Batman Arkham City.
by Logan Hess Monday, March 11, 2013 at 08:50 PM

Hands down it's Tomb Raider, followed by Dead Space 3 and DmC.
by Jack Litch Monday, March 11, 2013 at 08:50 PM

Easily Tomb Raider
by TehFrozenThrone Monday, March 11, 2013 at 08:50 PM

It is DmC up to this point for me. Tomb Raider just wasn't enough for me personally. HotS is out tomorrow and GoWJ is next week so we will see..
by Tristan Monday, March 11, 2013 at 08:51 PM

tomb raider. i can honestly say its one of the best games ive played in quite a while
by WUMBOL0GY Monday, March 11, 2013 at 08:51 PM

DmC: Devil May Cry, but I could see something else topping it.

Edit: Why are so many people talking about games that didn't come out this year or haven't come out yet? :S
by The Destroyer Monday, March 11, 2013 at 08:52 PM

Based off what I've bought this year so far? Dead Space 3.
Based off what I'm buying in the future? Either BioShock or Wind Waker HD.
by Andrew Strong Monday, March 11, 2013 at 08:52 PM

As of this post, maybe DMC.
by Water Polo Champ Monday, March 11, 2013 at 08:52 PM

Devil May Cry. After everything's said and done, its still fun, even if people freak out over small things.
by thomasno02 Monday, March 11, 2013 at 08:52 PM

I have yet to play a newly released game this year, but I have hyperdimension neptunia V and dead island riptide on pre-order, and they're looking like good candidates
by Ciyrus Monday, March 11, 2013 at 08:52 PM

Fire emblem: Awakening
by Warrior Monday, March 11, 2013 at 08:53 PM

Its a threeway tie between: Pokemon X/Y, Tomb Raider, and Watch Dogs.
