DJ Frank E - The Year In Gaming 2013 lyrics

[Verse 1] The last year of the 7th generation Two-thousand and thirteen was surely entertaining Console wars, and the usual course mud slanging Let me break down the year in gaming Sony kicked off the year with big news that the Playstation 4 would be upon us soon Microsoft would never take a backseat Rumors of a new Xbox hit round PAX East But in the meantime the current gen represented New Tomb Raider, and Bioshock In-finite Far Cry, God of War plus gears Hadn't seen this many sequels come up in years The last of us dropped the week of E3 Still had long lines of people wanting to see Game of the year in my humble opinion Guacamelee and Dive Kick kept the indies winning In thirteen a few companies came up THQ announced they were goin' bankrupt Cancellations and layoffs by Zynga Had stock tumbling down like a game of Jenga Nintendo struggled with their new console But as usual, they kept their portable stronghold My 3DS got plenty of burn, turned a new leaf on Animal Crossing Totally awesome Problem was your whole town went to crap if you didn't play it often I testify Fire emblem and X and Y Mario 3D World I have yet to try Ouya, made two mil, shipped some months later Couple cool originals but awesome for emulators Even some Disney cla**ics got a facelift Castle of illusion and Duck Tales 8-bit Assa**ins Creed four, involved pirates We sought reverence Metal Gear Rising GTA five drops and shatters sales records In less than a week, a billion dollars collected Haters gone hate but they gotta respect it And a gaming giant made an untimely exit Had to Say goodbye to Hiroshi San Who Turned Nintendo into a global phenomenon What a way to end an influential time for games Nine years strong now they say it's time for change New systems new tech - it's a win win But are the customers ready to start it all again? According to the numbers i would say we truly are Both consoles sold over a million thus far I'm excited about the future of games Developers stepping out of the box trying new things And as for me, I recorded and toured Played a bunch of shows domestic and abroad MAGfest and PAX, I heard hundreds applaud First ever championships for Halo 4 Can't imagine where the next year will lead us Gotta thank the innovators and believers As always I love you for supporting Looking forward to more things In twenty four-teen
