Weekend Confirmed 142 - Bioshock Infinite, Far Cry 3, Guardians of Middle-earth
by Jeff Mattas, Dec 07, 2012 7:00pm PSTToday's episode of Weekend Confirmed brings together Garnett Lee, Jeff Cannata, Jeff Mattas, and special guest Nikole Zivalich, and naturally, many videogames are discussed. Cannata delivers some early (and glowing) impressions of the first couple of hours of Bioshock Infinite, Far Cry 3 gets some more time in the spotlight, and the first console MOBA, Guardians of Middle-earth, gets a bit of scrutiny. Before Finishing Moves and the post-show TailGate, the crew also chats about how best to handle Weekend Confirmed's Game of the Year awards. If you've got some feedback, a preference, or some ideas about how you think it should be handled, make yourself heard in the show comments.

What I would LOVE to hear is the crew just talking about each of the big release this year. What did you like about them, what did you dislike about them, would you be excited for a sequel...that sort of thing. No need to give games awards or try to justify why you think Journey is a better game than Halo 4. Don't feel compelled to put one on a pedestal just because you can.
Just start with January and work your way through the year, and reminisce about the great experiences you had with video games in 2012. Celebrate gaming as a whole.

Clearly some games are better than others. Everyone doesn't get a ribbon. I don't mind hearing people's "best game"- i.e. the game with which you had the most fun. No matter what type of game, we all spend the same currency for them- TIME.
What I don't like is the idea that a group (or a site) has to come to a consensus. It's , quite frankly, a waste of everyone's time to arguing for one game over another.
