I began reflecting on a personal GOTY list would look like and I realized that my obsession with League of Legends might not even leave me with 10 games to put on the list. Instead I'll just list the games that I actually managed to play in 2012.
I guarantee more time was spent playing this than everything else in this list combined.
Guys, this game is so good.
This game occasionally frustrates me greatly by providing a grind when I just want shooting. Still, there's plenty of fun to be had.
I wouldn't have made it to 60 if I didn't have someone else around to drag me along kicking and screaming, but I did have a good bit of fun with it. Balance issues aside, the combat feel is spot-on.
A very different game from D3, and one I think I would continue to enjoy if I kept playing. But I didn't, so I don't.
Yes, the GB crew sold me on this game. It's rad.
It didn't feel like I wanted it to at first, but once I got used to it this game became a really fun challenge. Most people would advocate using a gamepad, but I'm keyboard all the way.
Christine Love returns from the mixed reception of "Dont Take It Personally, Babe" with a piece of IF that everyone should play. The exploration of gender issues prompted by Analogue has continued to grow as a conversation among gamers in 2012.
Man, this is the game I didn't know I wanted. And for the price of free? AMAZING. I was happy to contribute to their kickstarter for Distance.
(Again, most people would advocate using a gamepad, including the game itself, but I'm keyboard all the way.)
Didn't play the first one because it so obviously needed coop. Here it is with the second one, and it's a fun little game.
Yet another twist on match-3 gameplay. This time it's awesome.
Hell yeah, the quick look sold me on this. It's out for iPad as of this week, so try it there for $3 if you don't already have a restaurant going on your Mac or PC.
:)
It might look like Portal Lite. It is; and that's a good thing.
This one, on the other hand, is Portal Lite in a bad way. The art direction was fun, but unlike Q.U.B.E. the puzzles here weren't actually very fun to solve and the ending was surprisingly anticlimactic.
I got this on my iPad in late 2011, but started purchasing a lot of song packs for it in 2012 as it slowly gained the status of "favorite iPad music game".
