Ah, it's January 2, 2013 and this is honestly the earliest I think I've ever compiled a "Games of the Year" list. In fact, if you remember back to last year, I merely did an article called "TGN's Best and Worst Games of 2011" without having to mentally beat myself up to put them in any numerical order.
See, I think that way was smart. Instead, this year I wanted to try and do it like the others. I wanted to try and come up with a group of ten titles that I felt were above and beyond the others for at least one reason or another. In doing so, I realized that it's not a particularly easy task when trying to come up with it alone and without any other input. I also realized that there were a lot of great games in 2012, which made narrowing the list down quite difficult.
From a full list of games in 2012, I narrowed it down to 22 games total. Of those 22, the difficult process began of deciding who would make the top 10. It was early on that I had decided to do an "honorable mentions" list, expecting it to only consist of maybe 3-5 titles that didn't make the cut. I, instead, ended up doing all 12.
There is one mistake I made here. In the video I only include 11 titles. The forgotten 12th honorable mention is Sleeping Dogs. It was merely an oversight on my part when I was writing up the dialogue and recording the audio. However, without further delay here is the Honorable Mentions and the start of TGN's 2012 Game of the Year super happy fun time bonanza thingy.
Feel free to start speculating about what the top 10 games are. Keep in mind that the top games are only from games that I have actually played, meaning there won't be any PlayStation 3 exclusives on the list, nor Vita, nor 3DS exclusives.
