Game of the Year 2012: D. Bethel

In what was, for me, a profound year in general, Bioware's Mass Effect 3 exemplifies why this year was especially profound for my gaming.  Like a few other titles, Mass Effect 3 inspired me to play through it at least three times––something I cannot say I've done since my PS2 days; but, even then, with games like Shadow of the Colossus and Metal Gear Solid 3, my repeated play-throughs came with extended stretches between them.  Like no year before, many of the games I played in 2012 were so inspired and fun that, immediately upon their completion, I started a new play-through, repeating this until I got worn out or a new game came along.  Though Mass Effect 3 was not the first game I looped this year (that honor goes to the damaged but brilliant I Am Alive), the multifaceted draw of ME3 makes it the most compelling example.

KGB Top 5: Great Premise, Bad Game

Occasionally a game comes along that seems like it'll be a sure-fire hit. Maybe it's a fresh idea, a new gameplay mechanic, or just an idea so inspired you can't believe no one's done it before. Inspired by HumorTumor's recent coverage of Operation Raccoon City, we were inspired to take a look at games that didn't quite live up their potential. We present this week's Top 5: Great Premise, Bad Game. Enjoy!
