<\/strong>November is looking to be one of the biggest gaming months of the year, and that says a lot.<\/p>\n

With the return of Halo, Call of Duty, Hitman, and Far Cry 3 to name a few, the holiday period is looking to be an overwhelming and exciting time for gaming.<\/p>\n

So what are the biggest and most interesting games this month?<\/p>\n

Hitman: Absolution<\/h3>\n

20 November 2012.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Agent 47 returns this month after a lengthly hiatus, and fans of virtual choking and body-dragging should prepare for the bald-headed assassin\u2019s biggest challenge yet.<\/p>\n

Backstabbed by his organisation and those he trusted, Agent 47 must go up against all odds to bring down those responsible for his betrayal.<\/p>\n

Smarter AI, gorgeous visuals, incredibly detailed environments and hundreds of ways to dispose of targets will give Hitman: Absolution more depth and variety than ever before.<\/p>\n

The untalkative assassin will return on November 20, 2012, so expect some sharp-dressing and silent violence heading into the holiday season.\u00a0 If you pre-order the game, you\u2019ll get access to the sharpshooting precursor game, which you can read about in MyGaming\u2019s review of Hitman Sniper Challenge<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Far Cry 3<\/h3>\n

29 November 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

Far Cry 3 continues to look better and better the more Ubisoft show of the game.<\/p>\n

Far Cry 3 throws players back into the sun-kissed tropical setting the series is known for, and playing as a survivor known as Jason, the limits of humanity and psychological strength will be pushed.<\/p>\n

Running on Ubisoft Montreal\u2019s impressive Dunia 2 engine, the game is set to feature a massive sandbox environment, allowing players to take advantage of their large open-world in order to approach situations in a number of ways \u2013 not to mention looking absolutely gorgeous.<\/p>\n

MyGaming also got to c<\/a>hat to Far Cry 3’s Cinematic Director, Robert Purdy<\/a>, about the upcoming threequel.<\/p>\n

Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two<\/h3>\n

18 November 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

To the jubilation of platformer fans and followers of the great mouse everywhere, the Epic Mickey sequel is making its way to the Xbox 360 and PS3.<\/p>\n

Featuring Mickey and Oswald the rabbit, Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two, features full drop-in drop-out co-op multiplayer, which will be sure to add a lot more action and excitement to the vivid world we caught a glimpse of in the original.<\/p>\n

When played co-operatively, players will have to work together to use Mickey\u2019s paint and thinner abilities, while complementing them with Oswald\u2019s ability to control objects around the environment.<\/p>\n

Epic Mickey 2 is being developed under the watchful eye of Warren Spector, so expect some serious love and care in the upcoming sequel.<\/p>\n

Halo 4<\/h3>\n

6 November 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

After fooling us into thinking that Halo 3 was the end of Master Chief, Halo 4 is finally here.<\/p>\n

Reviews have already praised the game on multiple fronts<\/a>, and it appears that 343 Industries haven\u2019t disappointed since taking over from Bungie.<\/p>\n

Halo 4 is set in the aftermath of Halo 3, where Master Chief returns to confront his own destiny and face an ancient evil that threatens the fate of the entire universe. Halo 4 marks the start of a new trilogy for the franchise, which should last well into the future.<\/p>\n

Call of Duty: Black Ops II<\/h3>\n

13 November 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s now become standard-fare that we expect a Call of Duty game every November, but anticipation for Black Ops II is pretty intense this time around.<\/p>\n

Black Ops II looks to mix up the traditional past\/present setting of the franchise, by jumping to the future for the first time.<\/p>\n

Black Ops II asks what would happen if the technology created to protect your very country, was turned against you.<\/p>\n

The game isn\u2019t all about explosions and multiplayer teabagging, as David S. Goyer, the co-writer of The Dark Knight Rises, is at the helm, and composer Trent Reznor is putting together the music, showing that there\u2019s a lot of talent behind the Black Ops sequel.<\/p>\n

Featuring a generation-spanning campaign and a zombie-mode on steroids, Black Ops II is looking to be something familiar, yet different, this time around. <\/strong><\/p>\n
