Top 10 Games of 2012

by gleasonryan

List of video games that I believe are the best of 2012!

Showing 1-10 of 10 items

Spec Ops: The Line

1. Spec Ops: The Line

This is a game I was not expecting to be any good because of delays and all of that jazz. I was pleasantly surprised. Like Syndicate the gameplay itself is nothing special but everything else is FANTASTIC. I would out my vote in for this being Nolan North's best performance, as well as all other voice actors being great. That is why Spec Ops The Line is my 2012 Game of the Year.

Dance Central 3

2. Dance Central 3

Dancing. Time Travel. Vanilla Ice. Need I say more?

Syndicate

3. Syndicate

Cyberpunk! The gameplay is nothing super special but all the of surrounding stuff is good enough to elevate the rest of the game. It is a shame that it sold as poorly as it did because I would have liked to see more of Miles Kilo.

Far Cry 3

4. Far Cry 3

Didnt get to this one in time for the first posting of my list but I wish I had. Never had I had more fun doing side things and lighting entire outposts on fire with a few fire arrows is great fun.

Borderlands 2

5. Borderlands 2

Borderlands 2 is like Borderlands but more so! With Handsome Jack being one of the best villains this year and the classes being a bit more balanced this time around I can comfortably say that Borderlands 2 is a better games than Borderlands 1.

Assassin's Creed III

6. Assassin's Creed III

Another game that I feel like I was the only one who enjoyed it. Brings all the Assassin's Creed charm and gameplay to America. Also I liked Conner. SO SUCK IT!

WWE '13

7. WWE '13

WWE 13 goes into the future by going to the past! Attitude Era mode recaps the best part of the WWE/F and it plays really well.

The Darkness II

8. The Darkness II

Probably one of hte most overlooked games of the year. Good fun all the way around and as always darkness powers are pretty damn awesome.

Mass Effect 3

9. Mass Effect 3

I feel like I was one of the only people on the planet not angry about the ending. Mass Effect 3 is exactly what it says it is but it also adds a pretty awesome multiplayer mode.

Rock Band Blitz

10. Rock Band Blitz

I love Rock Band and this gives you 25 songs for super cheap and the game itself is pretty sweet.
