Best of 2012

Obviously a work in progress, adding games as I play and like them or games I know I'll eventually play and like within the year.

Changelog:

Jan 8th 2013 | Removed some games that don't fit anymore :( I don't have the interest to cull this to just 10 games, so it's just what it is. Left the words written for some games even though I may have changed my thoughts from those words since writing them.

Sept 15th 2012 | Re-ordered and cleaned up the list, a few games were delayed to 2013 and ordering is now based on updated best guesses of my future enjoyment level (I tend to be pretty good about these things).

Really enjoyed the 45+ hours spent in this game, and felt that I was completed with the series for a while once it finished, which I think is a really good thing.
