It seems to me that 2012 has been the year of the assassin. Games like Assassins Creed III, Dishonored, Hitman: Absolution, and Lego Lord of the Rings (just trust me) have all focused on the art of silent murder. Additionally, games like The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings and Mark of the Ninja feature assassinations as central plot points. It would only make sense that my game of the year for 2012, Dishonored, is all about assassinating enemies.
