Best reboot - XCOM Enemy Unknown 18 year gap between UFO Defense (US name) Enemy Unknown (Europe)
Most suprising game - Sleeping Dogs Swap developers an publishers and still came out as a great game

Third Person Shooter- Spec Ops The Line
Best marketing campaign of 2012 - Assassins Creed III
Most disappointing game of 2012 - Assassins Creed III. I liked the story, setting, music, and characters but as a game it was not as refined as the previous 3 main installments. They had a great marketing campaign that showed a lot of cool features, like dual tomahawks, going through buildings which was only for a chasebreaker, climbing trees and cliffs were neat but didn't add much to a game as a whole. I would compare this to LA Noire for least favorite thing was the gameplay.
Runner Up Need For Speed Most Wanted 2012. Wasn't better than the original. Not that enjoyable of an open world racing game compared to Burnout Paradise. It was a step back.
I didn't like the Mass Effect 3 ending but the game as itself was mechanically sound. Agreed with the podcast that you shouldn't have been able to choose an ending, but by the weight of your previous decisions, it lead up to a specific outcome.
Best Budget Title of 2012 - Sniper Elite V2
Made by Rebellion Studios, which made bad games like NeverDead and Rogue Warrior, but a fun 3rd person sniper game. The bullets go into slow mo when they hit their targets. It will go into X-Ray vision where chunks of skull, eyeballs falling out, bullet to the heart, liver or lungs depending on where the bullet hits. If you are lucky you can shoot a Nazi in the testicles where you see the testicles explode in slow mo, and the vas defernes being shredded.
Best game of 2012 I have yet to play so far yet I owned - Dishonored

I'm really looking forward to the new Splinter Cell game. I loved Conviction, even though most people hated it. I don't think that they can go wrong by adding Assassin Creed elements to Splinter Cell.
ReplyDeleteI got about 3/4 of the way through Conviction and the stealth got too much for me.
