20 Video Games That Will Make 2013 An Awesome Year For Gamers

18. Soul Sacrifice

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MhCeWJ68pU Perhaps the most intriguing 2013 release for the Playstation Vita, Soul Sacrifice is an upcoming action RPG created by the legendary Keiji Inafune. Set in a dark fantasy setting, the game's unique core mechanic involves the player being able to sacrifice body parts in order to execute powerful attacks to slay foes. Why it will be awesome: Keiji Inafune is a man on a mission. His sudden departure from Capcom after over 20 years of overseeing some of the company's most storied franchises, including Mega Man, shocked the video game world. Soul Sacrifice is one of his first post-Capcom pet projects, and he will surely be eager to impress. Everything we've heard and seen of the game indicates that this will be one of the best Vita titles to release thus far. Aside from the interesting concept of giving up your body parts to deliver attacks, the game will also feature cooperative play, with the ability for players to sacrifice themselves (or become unwillingly sacrificed by their teammates) in order to progress. This should create a very interesting cooperative dynamic that hasn't really been seen before. Games like Soul Sacrifice are exactly what the Vita is going to need in 2013 - unique, interesting titles that will help establish the platform and encourage further third party development.
