Top Ten Games, 2012 Edition

Another year of video game blogging has come and gone - actually, my first full January-to-December year doing this. Fifty-two weeks in a year and one review per week (skipping last week) means I've played 50 games to completion this year. But wait, that's not quite true - January was indie month at 3 games per week, and I played some games I didn't review, so that puts me well over 60 this year.

Anyway, if you remember my list from last year, the purpose is not to talk about the best games that came out this year. I don't play games soon enough after launch to do that kind of a list. No, this is simply my 10 favourite games I played this year.

And so, with no more ado, and in alphabetical order, here we go!

Bastion

Post-Launch Review
Bastion
Developer: Supergiant Games
Released: July 2011 (XBox Live) / August 2011 (Steam)

About

Bastion is an action-RPG where you play as "the kid", one of the only survivors of a catastrophic event called the Calamity, which reduced his country to dust and a few floating chunks of land. The kid sets off to the Bastion, a safe haven where people agreed to meet in troubled times. There he meets the Stranger, who sends him off to collect cores from the shattered city, in the hope of using the Bastion to repair the damage caused by the Calamity. Of course, it'll take every weapon and skill in the kid's arsenal to fight his way through the panicked and malicious creatures that survived.
