Fire Emblem Awakening English Logo - Games of 2013Fire Emblem: Awakening

 This is the ultimate expression of my soon-to-be rule. Fire Emblem: Awakening combines my long-time dream of strategically decimating my enemies with my ever so slight messiah complex. Yes, in Fire Emblem I can save the world through martial might! This particular Fire Emblem will also allow me to micromanage the lives of my minions… I mean friends by playing matchmaker! Then I can conscript their children into my army! It’s the tyrant… I mean, heroic leader’s dream!

 Fire Emblem Awakening English Screenshot 001 - Games of 2013This is the game that niche-gaming 3DS owners have been waiting for! Once it comes out in 2013, you can rest easy knowing that I shall issue an edict ordering all of my people to purchase this game! Nintendo’s offices may be reduced to smouldering craters during the Apocalypse, but they certainly won’t be able to complain about low sales!


And there you have it! While the world may be ending, I am attempting, in my own little way, to retain as much order as I can. That extends to gaming, too. When this world ends and mine begins, I expect humanity’s taste in gaming to improve dramatically. That’s because humanity’s taste in gaming will be my taste in gaming!

You may now imagine me laughing maniacally as I stride off into the sunset.

Devin is a Canadian, and as such, plays hockey (no he doesn’t) and drinks maple syrup (not really) while riding a wild moose (he’s never seen a moose). When he’s not perpetuating cultural stereotypes, he’s playing videogames, which has been, on occasion, very bad for his mental health, problems with which have plagued him for years. Now, at 20, he’s getting his mental health issues under control, and he’s trying to decide what to do with his life. He’s currently debating between journalism and trying his hand at the dramatic arts.
