IGN Writes: But not in the way you might think.
2012 was a miserable year for gamers. Not because the Wii U didn't hit with quite the bang we were hoping for. Not because the PS Vita failed to find a healthy audience. Not even because Mass Effect 3 didn’t quite stick its landing. Instead, 2012 was a miserable year for gamers because developers are perfecting the art of making us feel that way – and it’s a good thing.
Based on one narratively fitting ending in Mass Effect 3, Prothean squadmate Javik is highly unlikely to return in the next Mass Effect game.
He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.
Cultured Vultures: In the spirit of preserving some kind of history of this industry, we’ve decided to list some of the best games that you just simply can’t get hold of digitally at the minute.
I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.
Yes great game spec ops! Since the time we’ve been asking sony to make one:/
Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!
all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.
Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.
yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring
I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.
I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime
Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.
wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.
Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.
Tim and Luis talk what they’ve been watching and playing along with the news from the past week, including all the games from Sony’s “State of Play,” Evil West, Silent Hill: The Short Message, Hideo Kojima weirdness, Spec Ops: The Line delisted and more!
i got the chance to play Witcher 2 wich is loved on 360. Amazing Game.
Halo 4 is amazing i loved the game aswell Forza Horizon.
Hitman Absolution, Dishonored, Far Cry 3 were so good.
Journey surprised the hell out of me, probably my personal Goty even if its Sony and i dislike Sony, i have to admit this and 2013 looks amazing for Ps3 Gamers, i have a Ps3 and i cant wait for Last os Us and God of War man, thanks Sony i dont like you but your games... damn your motherfuc**** games...
i could go on, Mass Effect 3 is outstanding aswell, Diablo 3 but i dont want to go too vast into this.
2012 was a great year, sorry ign.
I know Heavy Rain wasn't release in 2012, but that brought a lot of emotions to me. I heard some things about Spec Ops: The Line story, but haven't played it much. Might give it another go.

Understandably 2013 is going to be Superior in almost every way.
2013's Gaming list for Console, handheld + PC looks epic TBH.
But yea 2012 was a great year for games for me personally.
I rediscovered hand helds...RPG's....got into minecraft....discovered my first PS product in the PSP...
Was an eventful year...I'm the kind of person still playing College Hoops 2k8 for the 200th time though so maybe it's just me who appreciates gaming in a different way than the rest of the industry.
