While it was a great year for movies in 2012 it seemed to be a fairly lackluster year for games. I am also finding myself with gradually less time to play the big releases when they came out. It seemed to be a year when small games could shine though. In a year when I played just 12 new games the bottom of my top 10 may not exude quality but the top games were all ones I have greatly enjoyed.
10. Worms Revolution - PC
9. Catherine - XBOX360
This has been a decade when gaming technology has come on leaps and bounds. While the 1990's were the decade of the third dimension the 2000's have been about innovative control and high definition. That being said, a lot of the best games I have played came out towards the beginning of the decade. This list is largely comprising the games into which I have sunk and will continue to sink a large amount of my time due to their excellence in either single or multiplayer.

10. Burnout 2 - Gamecube - 2003
Mass Effect on XBOX360 was one of the big releases of 2007. In May 2008 the game was released on PC with better graphics and bugs from the original fixed. The game see’s you traversing the galaxy as Commander Shephard of the Alliance military. Being an RPG he/she can look how you want them to look and have a set of attibutes you can work towards. The game hinges on choices made in dialogue and in battle and can often provide quite a challenge as you seek to take out the threat to the galaxy.
The joys of having your own website include the ability to rate games which are quite old. The fact then that Half Life 2 is still the best looking game I have played despite releasing 4 years ago shows testament to the work that Valve did on the game. The graphics really are something special with this game allowing you to get completely immersed in this world from the moment you start the thing up until the moment when you finish a good 15 hours later (albeit not in one sitting).
