These are the games I played for the first time in 2012. Some were released that year, some were not. Ranked, roughly, by how much I enjoyed playing them.

Exceptional. Wish the visual performance was a bit better on Xbox 360, but most games don't beat the storytelling and emotion found in these five episodes.
I'm a sucker for Hong Kong/Triad action stuff, so that immediately worked for me. But the story and atmosphere was built on a truly fun game. This game beat my middling expectations.
So much fun. The story is really the only weakness I can fault. I mean, my god, every time Jason opens his whiny mouth I cringe.
I love Deus Ex-type games, and this really hit the spot for me. I didn't really get sucked in to the story or world like I kinda wished I had.
Adds player agency to tower defense in a fun way, and the loot & upgrade system worked surprisingly well. Bring on Trenc, er, Iron Brigade 2!
Tons of fun. Takes what Starbreeze did with the original and made it so much better.
Actually completed this game for the first time this year. You guys, this game is fun.
So I'm not sure I'll be able to actually finish this due to some bug a few levels from the end, but this game is fucking awesome regardless.
Great fun, and a smart way to let me use my massive song library in a new way.
