GOTY 2012

Much like last year, I have decided to start this now, so I remember what I have played, and what was good from this year.

Showing 1-10 of 20 items

Wargame: European Escalation

1. Wargame: European Escalation

An RTS from the guys who did RUSE, set during an alternate timeline Cold War. The game looks really nice, has a nice realistic feel, is pretty huge, and is really fun. Feels like a cross between Total War and maybe Men of War, but set during the Cold War.

Dishonored

2. Dishonored

Being a sneaky badass is pretty damn satisfying in fake Victorian London.

Far Cry 3

3. Far Cry 3

As I said for Dishonoured, being a sneaky badass is damn satisfying, this time it was on an Island in the Pacific somewhere.

Sleeping Dogs

4. Sleeping Dogs

Super fun game, if a tad derivative - although it does accomplish most things better than the games it derives from. Plus the PC port is really well done.

Crusader Kings II

5. Crusader Kings II

It's a lot like other Paradox Grand Strategy games, but the emphasis with this one is in character relations and Dynastic security. Really good game all round.

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare

6. Chivalry: Medieval Warfare

YOU CAN CHOP PEOPLE'S HEADS OFF AND YOU PRESS C AND IT MAKES YOU SHOUT YAY GAMES

Borderlands 2

7. Borderlands 2

This year's other loot driven RPG thing. Really fun when played as a 4, and still fun solo. Also this game doesn't break my brain like the first game did.

Torchlight II

8. Torchlight II

I tried to play the Diablo 3 starter edition but was bored out my skull, but I am really enjoying this.

FTL: Faster Than Light

9. FTL: Faster Than Light

Super fun and addictive rougelike, spaceship commander simulator.

Unity of Command

10. Unity of Command

Accessible but deep Wargame centred around the Eastern Front of WW2.
