Best Games of 2012

Merry Christmas everyone! Yes, it is that time of year. We are about to say goodbye to 2012 and welcome 2013 in open arms. It's usually around this time that people make their best games of 2012 list. I figured I'd do the same thing. Now warning: Some of the games I will list are games I have not talked about... so... yeah... here's my list and reason why it's that number.
 10)  Tales of Graces f. Ok, I do love this game. It's been awhile since the last tales game, so I was very satisfied with this. The way they changed the system was cool, even though it is a little harder for me to learn Artes now, but it's not that bad. The fact that the sequel to the game was within the game made it even better. I loved playing a Richard. He was a huge help with that second final boss that took me two weeks to beat. So at number 10 is one of Namco's final fantasies, Tales of Graces f. Can't wait for the next one Namco! XD
9)  Pokemon Black and White 2. It was nice to have yet another pokemon game this year. It's always nice to get a new Pokemon game. I love how technically the legendaries are the same type of Pokemon and the new look of the game. I love the new gyms and gym leaders, however I do think that the game would've been even cooler if they added new pokemon besides the legendaries or pokemon you only got if you preordered the game. 
8) Madden NFL 13. It's a football game, what football fan wouldn't love this game. I love how it actually gives you a reason to scream at you TV. The physics engine in the game is pretty good. Any one who's played any of the past games would appreciate it. However, I still will never get over the fact that the game says 2013 yet it came out in August of 2012 and to play the game you must understand the game of football and know what the heck your doing. Someone like me will fail at this game constantly.
7) Disney's Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two. I loved the first game and this game is equally as great. I love how this game finally has voice actors. The game doesn't require me to read during cutscenes! I love how you have the chance to play as both Mickey and Oswald. The multiplayer is pretty good if your partner will work with you and not troll the game. This is an excellent sequel to the first game, but the thing is I can TELL its a Disney game since they included singing and dancing. It's almost like Disney is making fun of itself for having EVERY MOVIE they have be a musical. Seriously though, I could do without the singing and dancing. -_-             6) Dishonored. IT'S ANOTHER ASSASSIN'S CREED PEOPLE! It's awesome. I love the steam punk atmosphere that the game brings. I love that I can make my kills a lot easier and awesome with my super natural powers. I also love that I can chose between stealth and just straight out kill the person. This game is amazing, but it's no Assassin's Creed. It's a perfect game to get people into Assassin's Creed.

Theartrhythm Final Fantasy. This game is PURE NOSTALGIA!!! I cried every time I heard some of these songs since it's been a long time since I've played some of the games. Being able to replay your favorite Final Fantasy stories is awesome. Also, Square Enix made a pretty good music rhythm game. It was actually kind of shocking for me. This was a great way to celebrate 25 years of an amazing series. HAPPY 25TH ANNIVERSARY FINAL FANTASY!!                                                                              4)                                    

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance.    Must I really state how much I love Kingdom Hearts. It's my favorite game in the entire universe. As much as I want to put this as number one, I do know there are better games out there. However, this game is going to be in the top five. 10.. ten whole years of this amazing series. 10 whole years as playing as Sora and Riku to defeat Xehanort and the darkness. This game was a great way to bring back everyone's memories about this fantastic series. This game leads to the long awaited Kingdom Hearts III. Now, I have heard rumors that Kingdom Hearts III is not the end of the Kingdom Hearts series, but an end to the Xehanort saga. I'm crossing my fingers. I really don't want this game to end. It needs to live as long as Final Fantasy.  Dream Drop Distance truly reminds people why they loved this series since the first game. I really can't to wait see what Square Enix has planned for our two favorite heroes. HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY KINGDOM HEARTS!! MAY YOU  LIVE ON FOREVER!!      
3)

Halo 4. I can't really say much since I haven't played the game. (again, I dont own an Xbox 360). But, I know a good game when I see one. Halo 4 starts a brand new saga with brand new enemies. Any Halo fan would jump at the chance to play as Master Chief once again. The graphics of the game are amazing and the gameplay is just as awesome. Now, you know the game is good when this is one of the games where people skipped school and called in sick for work in order to play. I wish Halo 4 congratulations to all its success and I can't wait for the upcoming years. You rock Halo 4!






                                                                                               

2) Call of Duty Black Ops 2. Hello? It's CALL OF DUTY!! This game has been amazing. A LOT of people skipped work and school just to play this. The multiplayer remains as amazing as always. The zombie mode never fails to impress. Black Ops II is just as successful as it's predecessor Black Ops I. This game brings gaming to a whole new level. I salute all Black Ops players out there. May this game series live as long as time will allow and maybe even longer!

1) Assassin's Creed III. My number one game of the year of 2012. This game is AWESOME!! Playing in America was a nice way to keep  all the games unique. I love how big the world is and how there is just so much for you to do in it. Fighting the Revolutionary war was awesome. Playing as a British Native American and a French African American was awesome too. The controls for the game are easy to understand and easy to input. No more cramping while playing this game. The ending of the game did leave me baffled, but that just kept me wanting more. Can't wait for the rest of the series. GREAT JOB UBISOFT!!
