If you're anything like me, then chances are you can't help but look forward to 2012 and salivate at all the delectable delicacies the videogame world has to offer us in the coming year. Not only is it a period for deep self-reflection, it's also the best time of the year for rampant and unfounded speculation.
Fortunately, that is precisely what Max and I have for you on today's show, and make no mistake - what we lack in fake Jamaican accents, we make up for in unbridled idiocy. As such, today's show breaks down our biggest predictions, along with our most anticipated games of 2012.

I'm surprised no-one predicted anything for Dragon's Dogma. Personally I think it will be a force to rival skyrim.
Maybe not on it's first outing but I definately see it as a new franchise with a possible string of sequels.
I predict also that around october/november time we will see an announcement for a new fallout game for 2013 that fully utilises bethesda's advanced game engine that was used in skyrim.
All I want out of 2012 is an announcement of Infinite Space 2 for the 3DS. The original was by far the most underrated game released for the DS and the best RPG for the system. Been hoping for a sequel announcement since before I finished the first game.
I hope the prediction for iOS game ports to Vita are correct. I've nothing but problems with my iPod Touch and don't bother updating it anymore, because it always breaks when I do. Reason I keep it around is for the games, which are great time killers.

I know I am..
That's why Bethesda is releasing the FNV Ultimate Edition.
