A Year in Video Games: 2012

I don’t do any yearly wrap-ups because my memory is as bad as an elephant with a learning disability. I can’t even remember all the new games I tried in the past year. Fortunately, people like Gamestain are around to help me remember.

What were your favorite games in 2012? I think Assassin’s Creed 3 was my favorite overall game. I didn’t particularly care for Resident Evil 6, and I barely played Mass Effect 3 for reasons I still don’t understand. I mean, seriously, I played and loved the first two games, but I barely even started 3. I don’t know what’s wrong with me.

I’m loving Mists of Pandaria for World of Warcraft, though it’s recently been overshadowed by some great games. The Walking Dead by Telltale Games was amazing…until it crashed when I tried to launch the fifth chapter and corrupted my save file. Now I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to finish. Scribblenauts Unlimited is a blast. And I’m currently playing Pokemon Black 2 and WWE 13 with my girlfriend. Remind me to tell you guys someday about Super Clown!

So what were your favorite video games in 2012? And what are you looking forward to most in 2013?

  1. Far cry 3, in my opinion the best game of the entire year, and for 2013? it would be a tie between Bioshock infinite and GTA V.

  2. Reblogged this on whoismattblack and commented:
    I would have to say that my games of the year, or at least a top three would be … 3. Diablo, 2. Skyrimm, 1. Super Mario U (Sorry had to keep it real!!!)

  3. My favourite 3 games of 2012 were Skyrim, Borderlands 2 and Dishonoured. I spent way to much time on all three of those.
