A take off Curtis' ancient movie edition polls from many moons ago, let's do the same for some vidya.

Above is a list of 16 video games released in 2012, compiled from numerous "best of" lists for that year. Vote for all the ones you've played. Did you enjoy them? Hate them? Still never quite finished them? How would you rank them? Still itching to try out the ones you didn't vote for?

Some honorable mentions:

Resident Evil 6
Dragon's Dogma
Journey
Silent Hill: Downpour
Guild Wars 2
Lolllipop Chainsaw
Darksiders II
Slender

Telltale's The Walking Dead: The Game - Still one of the most emotional experiences I ever had playing a video game. Cannot recommend this enough.

Dishonored - Very fun. Unfortunately I got this game just before some bad shit happened to me so I didn't get hugely far. I should pick it up again one of these days.

Assassin's Creed III - Ugh. I was so excited for this as the timeline and story was of big interest to me. But god did they break this game. I have no idea why they ruined the otherwise perfect control scheme that the original games had. And I remember the gunplay in particular being really awful. The sad thing is that the characters and story were absolutely great, so it's a gigantic shame that I just couldn't enjoy actually playing it.

Hitman: Absolution - Only played a little bit of it. This was my first foray into the Hitman series. Thought the stealth elements were really fun, although the disguise mechanic was off and a huge source of frustration for me. Either way I must have been really terrible at this as every mission I played ended up with many angry men shooting at me.

Hotline Miami - Great, great, great. Need to pick this and that LP up again one of these days. I still listen to the M|O|O|N songs from the soundtrack on my weekend runs.

Sleeping Dogs - Really underrated gem. This was one of my first 360 games and it still stands as one of my favorites.

Essentially -- if it has Ezio in it, get it.
