I haven't really brought that any games that came out this year, my choices would probably be between Mass Effect 3 which I thought was really good and I liked the ending too.

Tales of Graces f which is good despite it not being the best Tales game I've played.

Spec Ops: The Line which was just one of the most engrossing games I've played this year.

And Dishonored which I've been have having a lot of fun with.

Honourable mention to Journey, which I enjoyed but have played once and not played since. And probably XCOM: Enemy Unknown which I haven't gotten around to playing yet, but might be up there with the rest. I don't know what order this lot will be in by the end of the year though.

Seeing how I've played two new releases this year I'll go with Kingdom hearts 3D(the other game being P4 Arena,which was great too). The game seems to be channeling SMT:Nocturne in some aspects with fusing your enemies and the dropping mechanics. The actual combat is probably some of the best in the series,flowmotion combat while a bit frivolous is still tons of fun. The story does bring in time travel but handles it well enough and has got me exited for I assume KH3.

Brutal Doom.


Says everything

But in more current games I'm honestly lagging behind, my favourite recent game I played this year was Saints Row The Third. That is just the perfect crime-caper city sandbox game, it knew how to have fun unlike the pretentious crap of GTA4.

I still haven't played Max Payne 3 yet, that may be a top game for me.

I would have to say FTL for the best game released this year.

As for the best game I played this year, Dwarf Fortress.

In any case, both will annihilate your free afternoons and weekends.

Hmm there a few that have been released recently that I haven't played yet such as Dishonoured and XCOM so I feel kind of unfair calling that.

Borderlands 2 is definitely my multiplayer of the year.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown. I just love the tactical application and management in games.

Faster than Light also gets special mentions for GOTY for me.

Dishonored my favourite game released this year that I have played. I wouldn't say it's my favourite game that I have actually played this year though.

That said the only other new games I have bought this year have been, Transformers FOC, Borderlands 2 and Mass Effect 3. Mass Effect 3 was pretty bad, Transformers pretty average, and Borderlands 2 was pretty fun, but it's pretty much Borderlands 1 whereas Dishonored at least stands out on it's own.

I don't think I've played a 2012 game yet. I intend to play spec ops, and assassins creed 3 at some point, but probably not for a while.

Now the best game I played this year is metal solid 3. Yeah, I spend most of my gaming time, catching up on games I missed.

I would say Dark Souls, but I played the console version which came out last year, so technically it can't be my GotY, but love the DLC though.

I think it will be The Walking Dead, because that will be a game I will remember a long time.

This year really has been disappointing and dull for gaming.

Guild Wars 2, and though DayZ isn't really a contender due to its bugginess, it should definitely get some form of recognition

Dishonored
I would add a little more content to that post, if I were you. Mods will come swooping in with warnings for low content posts.

OT: It's a tough choice for me. So many good games had come out. Right now it's a toss up for me between Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, Dragon's Dogma, Dishonored and Tales of Graces f.

Mass Effect 3

1: I love it
2: Only game that came out this year that I've bought this year!

(Getting ACIII next week but I don't think it'll knock ME3 off the top spot!)

Mark of the Ninja. But I haven't played any of this years' AAA releases aside from Mass Effect, so it could easily end up changing into Spec Ops or Dishonored when I get to buy them during the steam sales.

Hmmm, there are a few I could pick, all of them for different reasons:

Spec Ops: The Line: I don't recall being so engaged to a game that I wasn't having fun at.

Max Payne 3: I think it's the sequel it deserved, not the one most people wanted. I personally enjoyed it a lot. And the story while not entirely deep or meaningful, it's a good noir story, that had to face the challenge of being mostly on daylight.

Lollipop Chainsaw: Probably no one will agree this game is GOTY material, but I had fun, I replayed it a lot, and the return of the score system in single player was more than welcome to me.

Whatever is left to be released, I don't have any hope it'll be better for me to those I mentioned.

Peace out!
