Now that 2012 is almost over...

[Sack of Cheese]

Post your top 3 games!! In case you forgot what games got released this year [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_in_video_gaming]

I have not played many new releases this year, so my list is a little stale.
1. Mass Effect 3
2. Dragon's Dogma
3. Journey

after the shitstorm that the ending produced, i thought i was going to be the only one to put mass effect 3 as my favorite game of the year. in fact, i agree with your whole list except id replace dragons dogma with dark souls (it came out on pc this year, totally counts)

It... does? I played it this year too!!
I guess I should rethink my vote.

 

[NorthernStar]

Here goes.

1. Spec Ops: The Line
2. Far Cry 3
3. Mass Effect 3

Honourable mentions:
The Witcher 2
Tales of Graces F
Journey

Pretty sure I'm forgetting a LOT.

 

[cwmdulais]

1. Dishonored
2. Halo 4
3. Crusader Kings 2

Honorable Mention
Day Z (dont know if it counts though, cause it is a mod being made into a standalone)

 

[Ignatz_Zwakh]

1. Borderlands 2
2. Hotline Miami
3. X-Com: Enemy Unknown

Although I've a few games I'm dying to play, that may or may not have made this list if I had managed to play them. Such as-

Dishonored
Far Cry 3
Mark of the Ninja
Hitman Absolution

Oh, and I just started P4 the Golden, but I don't feel justified tossing a garland on it since it's original incarnation was pretty much my fave game of '08. Still, awesome remake so far. Way shinier.

 

[ultrabiome]

Final Fantasy XIII-2
SSX
Soul Calibur V

i'm barely getting into the games from this year, so i can't comment on most of the games released this year, although the only one i really care about that i haven't played is XCOM.

 

[Haefulz]

1. Pokemon Black/White 2
2. Halo 4
3. Mass Effect 3

I would probably throw The Walking Dead in there, but I only played the first two episodes when they first came out. Also, I haven't played Far Cry 3 yet.

 

[Razentsu]

I guess it goes like this for me:

• 1. Persona 4 Arena
  2. Katawa Shoujo
  3. Guild Wars 2

The placings are pretty interchangeable though.

 

[TheCommanders]

1. Far Cry 3
2. Mass Effect 3 (Would have been 1 but for... I think you know)
3. Dishonored

 

[prophecy2514]

2. The Witcher 2:Enhanced Edition
3. Mass Effect 3
