With only a few days left in 2012 and no new releases before 2013, I was wondering what peoples' favorite game of the year is/was. While for me personally it'd be a tossup between The Walking Dead and Crusader Kings II, there have been a whole lot of quality games in 2012 and it'd be interesting to hear other peoples' opinions.

You know what, it's a close race between Sleeping Dogs and The Walking Dead.

Considering I haven't actually beaten The Walking Dead yet... but I couldn't put Sleeping Dogs down on console. I'll give it to Sleeping Dogs. Great game!

Wow you didn't beat it yet? Then go play and don't stop until you finish it!

I'd say FC3 if it weren't for buggy MP and co-op and save issues (Cough, Jack-Sparrow), so I'd have to say Dishonoured. Never played such a great game aside from tf2 (The first time you play tf2 it just hits you. With a fish.)

It's not from 2012, but the game ive been enjoying the most is by far Hitman: Blood Money ! But from 2012 the games I've had most fun with were Torchlight 2 and Hotline Miami !

Blood Money is good enough to count for any year it wants lol, and after trying absolution i just wanted to go back and play it again, absolution just didn't feel like a proper hitman game.

I haven't tried Absolution yet, but many people seem to regard it as a stripped down version of the previous games which put me off buying it completely... =/

I'd say Far Cry 3, it's one of the best shooters I've ever played.

Far Cry 3, as the gameplay has been really smooth for me and I have had a lot of fun playing it. The story is also pretty neat too.

I must say though, Don't Starve comes really close... At first, I did not think I'd enjoy Don't Starve, but the gameplay itself along with the art style has won me over. :) If you guys don't have it, I suggest getting it.

Played or made in 2012? If the latter, I have played very few new games this year, but La Mulana remake should qualify.

The Walking Dead and Dishonored

Most likely Far Cry 3, I especially loved the beginning sequences of when you are scrounging for ammo and conserving pretty much everything before you actually level up to a point where you are decent.

Three games that will get zero recognition from GOTY awards: Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Sonic & All-Stars: Racing Transformed, Ridge Racer Unbounded,

Three games I personally think deserve GOTY more than others: Dishonored, Far Cry 3, Spec Ops: The Line.

Fuck the police. I won Quantum Conundrum in SG and it's one of the games I enjoyed the most this year. So underrated.

Also: Katawa Shoujo, Deus Ex, Orcs Must Die! 2, Little Inferno.

I haven't been able to play that many games on my shitty PC, tho... No dishonored or anything.

Spec Ops: The Line. Game just doesn't get the respect it deserves for doing something truly different, innovative and emotionally deep. Its just so utterly well thought out and executed, and its a shame that people A: wont give it a try because they think it looks like a gears of war clone B: think its an AMERICAN F*'YEAH! kinda game that they will automatically dismiss C: wont actually bother looking any deeper than the (admittedly poor) shooter gameplay.
