I seriously can't be the only one who hated Dishonored.

Obligatory: You dirty heathen!

Somebody had to do it.

This is one hell of a list, good job GB community.

Great choices!

Even though I could add some more but I will not argue on that.

Just wanted to post to reflect the fact that I am apparently the only voter for the 331st game on the list, Fortune Street. For those who haven't checked the full list, that is the last game on the list; it is the last-place entry, with one single vote placing it at #10 on a list. Granted, it's tied with the 26 games before it on the list, including Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom from @Hailinel's list, CLOP, League of Legends, the Adventure Time game, Angry Birds Space, Puzzlejuice, Rock Band 2, the original Kid Icarus, and Slender-Man, a game separate from Slender: The Eight Pages.

Just wanted to say that Fortune Street is totally awesome and came out in Europe in 2012. If you have friends and a Wii (U), get on it.

Surprised that ME3 is on here for the amount of bitch moaning that so many people seemed to have. Other than that seems like a really good list!

Only one from my list made it on , Sleeping Dogs. However i've played all of them and agree there all quality games.

Pretty surprised to see Hotline Miami getting so many votes. I thought that game was... totally average.

Still a great list, really wraps up what was great about this year.

A little late in the day, but I've just finished the GOTY podcasts, and this is a better list than the full GB list. Syndicate over Mass Effect 3, and Fez at four was madness. I still really don't get how Miami is so popular but oh well.

Good list. Lets see I finished walking dead, xcom, journey, mass effect 3 and far cry 3. Getting close to finishing borderlands 2 and started dishonored. Just bought sleeping dogs on steam sale and haven't tried hotline Miami or mark of he ninja. 'twas a good year of games.

list is real,great games :)

Hotline Miami...

Maybe we do need a new console generation.

Thanks for doing this! I must have missed this thread when you first put up the results.

I liked Hotline Miami, but I'm kinda dumbfounded that it garnered enough votes to crack the top 10.

In the google spreadsheet, looking at the "Average Sort" tab is pretty interesting. I like seeing which games didn't necessarily get a ton of votes (and therefore weren't in the top 10), but when they were in someone's list, they were generally ranked quite high. Looks like Persona 4: Golden, Crusader Kings II, Dota 2, and Virtue's Last Reward were all games that if you played, you LOVED them!

Fantastic list! Not suprised by Walking Dead coming in first though....

Mark of the Ninja tanked in sales (60k on Xbox I think). I hope more people check it out because of game of the year lists since it's THE best and most accessible stealth game of this generation without a doubt.

That's a pretty great list.

list is real.
