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!

Crysis 2

Post-Launch Review

Crysis 2: Maximum Edition

Developer: Crytek

Released: March 2011

About

Three years after the events of the first Crysis, New York City has been hit with an alien plague and now a full invasion. You are a marine named Alcatraz, part of a force recon team to extract Dr. Gould, who may have vital information on the alien forces. Your squad is wiped out by an alien gunship, and your life is saved by Prophet, survivor of the original incident. He gives you his nanosuit with the instruction to find Gould. You'll face both aliens and a renegade private military intent on destroying the nanosuit in your mission to save the city.
