Check out the full list of the 2012 VGA winners, including Game of the Year.
Games Asylum: "Well, this is neat. As the name suggests, Wrath of the Mutants is the rarest of things – a genuine arcade conversion. With most modern arcade games being ticket redemption machines, this is something seldom seen. In fact, the last arcade conversion we can recall was Raw Thrill’s own Cruis’n’ Blast on Switch back in 2021. This is also based on an older iteration of TMNT, harking back to the series from 2012-2017. It’s essentially breaking franchise continuity (we’ve had two different iterations of the Turtles since) and could even be considered nostalgic for a select few – those who grew up with 2012’s Turtles are probably in their late teens."
Fuse ARPG, Soulslike, and cozy crafting mechanics for a one-of-a-kind adventure. Here is The Nerd Stash's early impressions of No Rest for the Wicked.
Starship Troopers: Extermination is continuing its early access period with a class system overhaul that will give players more options when it comes to pushing back the bugs.
It must be frustrating for these devs to see Helldivers 2 absolutely devour their lunch lol
-Oh my God, this game looks like a complete rip-off of Helldivers II!
-At least it gives Xbox players the chance to experience something similar to the PlayStation game!
Jokes aside it does make you wonder why Sony, who owns the IP for both, is continuing with two products when there is such overlap. Should it one day make a new Starship Troopers film or a Helldivers film instead?
Honestly this was a bullshit VGA to me. Why? Because Far Cry 3 was a serious GOTY contender, and not talking about many other awards, but the game is not there.
Yet AC3 was there, and it was released like, 1 week earlier?
Anyways, if FC3 was there, it wouldve been different. This game deserves more attention.
Oh yeah, and Walking Dead only won GOTY because of the actual series and popularity. At least im glad they took COD out from many awards.
I can't believe Walking Dead won, it's good but it's kind of overrated in my opinion (I said Opinion), I would of liked to see Dishourned win or even Journey, hell if Borderlands 2 or Far Cry 3 was nominated I would of wanted them to win aswell. Now thats it won I doubt we'll see TT games move on from point and click games
Oh and Arkane or Gearbox should of won Studio of the Year they deserved it.
EDIT
Actually...by the way where the HELL was that game "Old School Gamers" would enjoy that Geoff talked about

Pretty disapointing only 3 new games were announced...worst VGAs ever.
Journey should have won but it was a popularity contest where the tv show fans of walking dead bombarded the vga voting.
Cause let me get this straight Journey wins best downloadable game where TWD is also nominated but TWD wins goty.
Kind of a very quiet night for the game reveals. Yet another hint that Next gen systems are being revealed this June.
Anyway, IDK about that GOTY award. I think there were a lot of bigger games who probably should have taken it.
I just wanted Gravity Rush to win best handheld... Oh well, it did get nominated at least.
Glad P4:A won the award for best fighting game! That studio is good!
