got to admit that 2012 had some good games that came out this year. lets recap on the ones i played. DISCLAIMER: i did play a lot of games so a few may go missing, so be patient as i will add parts to this Blog. thank you. also almost all the games listed are for the X-Box 360.

Mass Effect 3. Shepard returns to save Earth. the game was amazing despite its crappy endings which EA and Bioware added more and the online was amazing.

Halo 4. Master Chief is back and better then ever before. 343 Industries first full attempt at a Halo game really pays off as the story was fun and the online is beyond amazing.

Borderlands 2. another trip on Pandora pays off as you play as 4 new Characters looking for treasure in this amazing followup to am already awesome game.

Assassin's Creed 3. one of the best games i played last year. the story takes place during the Revolution War and Connor is smack dab in the middle of Politics and Assassinations. imo on of the best Assassin Creeds games made so far.

Street Fighter X Tekken. two worlds collide in this 2-D fighting game that brings a lot of fun and controversy. Capcom did a great job with the game but failed with all the paid DLC charging gamer 20 bucks if they wanted the additional characters that were free on the PSVita version. good way to rip off your fans Capcom.


Call Of Duty Black Ops II. Activision brings its famous series back but this time it takes place in the future and that is what makes this game fun. the MP is about the same before but the Single Player rocks as you go from the 80's to the year 2025.

The Walking Dead. by far one of the best games ever made by Telltale games. this games i so amazing. you play as Lee, a man with his own struggles as he tries to save those close to him in this point and click adventure that will bring a tear to you eye and leaving you wanting more. my Game Of The Year.

Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown. Sega does it again. adding returning characters to an already fun fighting game. this was one of the best Downloadable games that came out this year that i played.

Resident Evil 6. the reviewers here are idiots as this game was a lot of fun to play and never let up with a gritty and bloody story and great characters.

Lego Lord Of The Rings. another fun Lego game that puts the Lord Of The Rings Trilody into Lego form and brings us one of the best Lego games to date.

Minecraft 360 Edition. another fun Downloadable game where you build and explore. this game was a blast to play and the fun never endied as they added a lot of content to an already fun game.

Dust: An Elysian Tail. another great Downloadable game. this 2-D hack and slash adventure was fun to play.

Rock Band Blitz. this was one fun game that used all the DLC from almost all of the Rock Bands games. you use your controller as you switch between different instruments. a fun game if you love Music.

WWE 13. THQ and WWE are back again as you can wrestle during one of the best Eras in Pro Wrestling, The Attitude Era. though the game had a few bugs it is one the best Wrestling Games since No Mercy on the N64.

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition. one great RPG that i need to play more. the followup to one of the greatest RPG's on the PC.

so there you go, those are the games of 2012 that i played and enjoyed. lets hope 2013 brings more fun games like Tomb Raider and Bioshock Infinite.

Nice round-up - although  personally I much prefer Blops1 MP over Blops 2 MP thou.

The Witcher 2 was a real highlight for me. It was amazing and I can't wait to go back and try the alternative storyline. Good call.

it seems that you have played all important 2012 games. I have recently got Borderlands as a gift and I am going to give it a try some time soon.

Yeah, I can't believe what Capcom did with the DLC characters in Street Fighter X Tekken. Hopefully, they'll eventually reduce the price of those characters.

I still need to pickup Halo 4. 2012 was a good year for gaming and TW2 was my favorite on xbox. I still hope they port TW2 on next gen consoles too. I saw the PC version and damn it looks good. Not much of a PC gamer...

That's a pretty big list of games. 2012 was an awesome year for games. I really like Resident Evil 6 and Tekken Tag 2.

While I disagree with the scores etc that Resident Evil 6 received, I am still mixed on it, I am a die hard RE fan and always defended Resident Evil 5 to the death because it got a lot of hate, but with Resident Evil 6..I just don't know anymore.

 

Rock Band Blitz is excellent and reminds me of those two PS2 rhythm games that Harmonix made (I forget the names), I wasn't expecting to get back into rhythm games but then this and Theatrhyhtm Final Fantasy came out.

 

Black Ops 2 and Halo 4 were two games I thought would not be too great (Halo 4) and improve upon everything the original was (Black Ops 1), but it ended up swapping over for each game and I ended up heiling Halo 4 and disliking Black Ops 2.

 

So yeah, that's just a bit of how random 2012 turned out for me.

That's quite the list of games you beat. I agree with you on Borderlands 2. Great game.

Great snapshot of some really good games.  Mass Effect 3,  Assassin's Creed 3, Black Ops II,  and The Walking Dead are all on my shopping list to pick up very soon.

Every single Lego and Resident Evil game had been fun to play.

 

even the low rated Tomb Raiders where you die easily were still fun

I don't know about the others, but I played the first chapter of the iOS version of the walking dead and it was Awesome.

I disagree with resi 6 I agree with people saying its bad, I love resident evil and have played them since they came out on PS1 but 6 is just awful, I put off getting it for so long but recently got it And I have to ask how can they get worse than 5, it's boring and broken in my opinion =? Thought I do disagree with the review of operation racoon city I thought that was alright actually

More than I played. I'm addicted to Skyrim. I did play Leon's campaign in RE6 but left it at that.

 I've been a fan of Leon Kennedy since RE2. But Jill Valentine (RE1 & RE3) will always be my fav Resident Evil protagonist. And this is coming from someone who champions RE2 as the best in the series.

 leons campaign is the best one I found the others fun but kinda weak compared to leons
