Favorite Games of 2012

Original right?

It's simple and self explanatory. List the games you liked that came out this year. You could explain why you liked them. You could rank them. You can format it however you want, just talk about the games you liked this year.

Please don't berate other peoples games though. Everyone enjoys different things.



I'll start.


Journey
I don't think a game has ever made me so emotional before and not a single word was said in the entire game. To create such a bond between two players who can barely communicate isn't an easy thing to do, but I sorely missed every player who dropped out of my playthrough.

The Walking Dead
I kinda wrote this game off when it first came out because I had been slightly disappointed with the show. When I finally cracked under peer pressure and bought it I realized what a fool I had been. I'm not even done with the entire game yet but I get wrapped up every time I play. I really do care what happens to these characters.

Dishonored
I absolutely love the setting of Dunwall. It's got to be one of the most interesting worlds gaming has created recently. The back story and lore is flushed out well in the texts and the characters are interesting. It's fun to slaughter people at the speed of light but the real challenge is not killing anyone and remaining unseen. Somehow it still remains fun to play that way.

FTL: Faster Than Light
Despite the amount of times I've ended up dying horribly, I find it hard to get frustrated at this game. Not a really easy game to describe. I would recommend everyone at least give it a try. Hey it's even DRM free. *hint hint* Only until you have the funds to buy it of course.

Chivalry
There's something about watching my enemy's head roll down the hill that just fills me with glee. A brutal game that makes my inner psycho giggle. This seems to be the game that all my friends have gravitated to playing every weekend and good times are had.

That's all I have for now but I'm sure I missed a few that I'll add later.

Hmm...

1. Borderlands 2
2. Doom 3 BFG Edition
3. Counter-Strike Global Offensive
4. Black Ops 2 Zombies
5. Planetside 2

...those are literally the only 2012 released games I have

I haven't played a single game released in 2012

Civ 5
Analogue: A Hate Story (even though Christine Love pissed me off)
Spec Ops wasn't actually good but made me non-complacent momentarily, so honorable mention.

Me neither.

The only thing I played in 2012 was Black Ops II, and it wasn't even mine.


Zombies was fun, multiplayer is absolute shit and I didn't have a chance to play the single player campaign at all.

Spec-Ops: The Line

Awesome game which chastises the player for wanting to be a freedom lovin' patriot hero.

Rune Factory: Oceans - there's so much to do in a single day. one single day out of the multiple years that you play through.

Harvest Moon: A New Beginning - haven't played it yet since it's for the 3DS, but it's harvest moon, which means I'll automatically love it.

Far Cry 3 - I haven't even played this yet (cause I can't afford it) but far cry is one of my favorite series (far in the bottom of the list, but still there), so I'm counting it.

I only have 4, there wasn't any fifth game I ended up liking this year.


4. Twisted Metal

3. Dishonored

2. Far Cry 3

1. Max Payne 3

I think I'm gonna go with Borderlands 2 with this one.
