Gaming in 2012

by zor

I figure I would try to keep a list of games that I play(ed) in 2012, and I mean all the games I played, even ones that came out before this year.

Showing 1-10 of 111 items

Orcs Must Die!

1. Orcs Must Die!

PC, 2011. It is a kind of fun tower defense game shooter... there doesn't appear to be much to it, but what there is, is fun. Update: Beat the game a while back, and it was a fun experience overall.

Saints Row: The Third

2. Saints Row: The Third

PS3, 2011. The game itself is decent(even if bland at times), but where it shines is in it situations due to the creative nature of it's designers. Update: I wrote a review for this game... it was pretty great

Counter-Strike: Source

3. Counter-Strike: Source

PC, 2004. Got this game during the steam gift event, so far it is alright, but without other friends to play it with, it is unlikely that i will play it much.

StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty

4. StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty

PC, 2010. I have been playing this game for about 2 years now (now and then). I still enjoy the custom maps, but for the most part, it doesn't seem to be as active as SC1, since there are less maps (or so it seems), and it harder to find a game.

VVVVVV

5. VVVVVV

PC, 2010. This game is just so hard... to the point where i have quit playing it. I gave it another try this year, but i couldn't (and don't want to try anymore) to get past the escort section of this game.

Team Fortress 2

6. Team Fortress 2

PC, 2007. In my opinion, this is currently the best FPS out there. I have put over 300 hours into it, and I still enjoy playing it. However, I find that recently, that I am playing the game less and less... but that is mainly due to the fact that the group of people I use to play with, have different schedules now, so it is hard to find time to play it with them.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

7. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

PS3, 2011. Just went through this game over a day or so. And while it was a 'fun' experience, it was also shallow. Also, I haven't, and still, don't enjoy the mp section of a call of duty game since the second one. As for the sp, it is short, and drags after the half way mark (which is odd in itself, considering that the sp is so short). Update: Wrote a review for this game.

Batman: Arkham City

8. Batman: Arkham City

PS3, 2011. So far, I have put a few hours into this game, and I am enjoying it. There are a few issues here and there (damn tutorial text not going away, and the chatty nature of everyone in arkham city...) but overall it is fun. But like i said, I still have a long way to go, so yeah. Update: Writing a review for this game, but i am not sure if i'll finish it.

Half-Life 2

9. Half-Life 2

PC, 2004. I recently started playing through Half-life 2 again, while I wait for gamefly to send me games. And I have found that this game is still fun... well... other than raven holm section, where I am currently... but that mainly because I find it creepy.

Half-Life 2: Lost Coast

10. Half-Life 2: Lost Coast

PC, 2005. This was a fun little map, not much to it, but I enjoyed the comments in it.
