I wouldn't say Spec Ops was fun, but it had for me the best story of any game this gen.
Better story than Nier (my pick for best story of the gen)? I normally hate military related movies/games, but now I'm a tad curious. Or is this an overexaggeration? I don't know anything about Spec Ops aside from remembering seeing some PS1 games with that name in various game store bargain bins.
Favorites this gen:
Xenoblade, Sin and Punishment 2, Mushihime-sama Futari, Child of Eden, Mirror's Edge, Ys Origin, King of Fighters XIII, Valkyria Chronicles, TWEWY, Radiant Historia, Half Minute Hero, Mega Man 9/10, NSMB Wii, and Nier.
