Dead Island. I didn't pay it any mind when it came out because I suspected it of being just like every other zombie game that came out in rapid succession at the peak of the zombie wave. I've checked out Left 4 Dead, Dead Rising, Dead Space, etc, and while each had its own merits, none kept my interest. (Though I enjoyed watching hubby play Dead Space, I didn't feel compelled to play it myself)
But hubby and I decided to give Dead Island a try a few weeks ago, and we're hooked. Not only is the combat very satisfying, and the environments expansive and just plain awesome to look at, the developers had way too much fun putting in bonuses and secrets to find. Like Jason freaking Voorhees. I killed him, won his chainsaw, then turned around to leave and he was standing right behind me. Pretty much scared the piss out of me. (I apologize if this is a spoiler for anyone, I figure the game's been out long enough by now)
And of course, looking forward to Assassin's Creed 3, Bioshock Infinite, and Resident Evil 6 this year.
