Despite the heavy hitters of 2012, a line-up which so far has included Mass Effect, Diablo 3, and Max Payne 3, there were an assortment of games that flew under the radar.

While I agree somewhat with The Darkness 2, I personally thought the first game was better and was more interesting than the sequel. The first game had some lovely touches that set it apart from the rest, I don't think the second game did that.
