Best of 2012

1. The Walking DeadThe Walking Deadhttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/The_Walking_DeadOpens wiki page

I struggle to muster up words for this. It almost feels like I'm discrediting it by calling it a video game. The Walking Dead is one of the very few experiences that really transcends its medium.

2. JourneyJourneyhttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Journey_2012Opens wiki page

An experience like no other. Journey is one of the most aptly titled games I've ever played. "Journey" is the word I would use to describe my time with Journey. It's difficult to muster up a description of what you do in this game, but its artistic style and its revolutionary multiplayer is reason enough for anyone to try this masterpiece out. Oh, and the soundtrack is simply astounding.
