I'd have to say Mass Effect 3 Its a really awesome series they fumbled bad on the ending but I hear the new DLC endings make up for it. Haven't been able to buy any other games this year cause moneys tight

Mafia 2 was really bad@ss......Hitman: Absolution is really bad@ss.....

My favorite game that came out this year is a tie between cod black ops 2 and assassin creed 3 i'm looking forward for a the new fire emblem game next year

Probably xenoblade or the last story. those are great games

I have a ton of good games I have bought in 2012 that rank about the same for me.

oblivion : I love this game entirely. I have it for my PS3, and I think it is incredible. The graphics are amazing, the game play is incredible, and I love the fighting style. Switching between first person to third person is very useful, depending on which style you like better. I love the story line, it is very creative and different then usual games you come across. The characters have a lot of depth in the story line, and almost every person in the game is important.

Harvest Moon Tale of Two Towns: I am a big Harvest Moon fan, and this game was challenging, yet not too hard to beat. It takes a while to get married to someone, but it has more then just that in the game. There are quests you have to do in order to get items for your house, and it also helps to raise friendship level and heart levels when you do a quest. I like how the game is designed, and I will always be a fan of Harvest Moon.

Last but not least, Pokemon White 2: It isn't one of my all time favorite Pokemon games, but that doesn't mean I still don't like it. It is very similar to the older versions of Pokemon in some ways, but it has a different plot line. There are a ton of different quests and different areas to explore then in the other Pokemon series, which always makes it interesting to play. The graphics are pretty decent, and make it even more fun to play.

For now, there are two that I got this year that I like. Pokémon White 2 & Mario & Luigi: Bower's Inside Story. I was finally able to get the last installment in that Mario series. I really enjoyed it. I especially liked the humor in the game. As for White 2.... I liked how it was a direct sequel to the previous game. The World Tournament was a nice addition as well.
