Games from 2012 for ≤ $30 That You Need to Finally Buy

2012 offered some pretty amazing games. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford to buy every game they want at launch. Maybe a game or two just slipped under your radar, or you were ‘on the fence’ about buying a particular title at full price. That’s just life.

Fortunately, some of last year’s best titles can now be bought for less than thirty bucks! If you haven’t played the following games yet, then you need to surf on over to Amazon or Steam and do some shopping.

(Most of these prices are available on Amazon and/or Steam, and most of these games are eligible for free ‘Prime’ shipping on Amazon.)

Oh and why isn't Mass Effect 3 on here? It's only $10 now! Best game of 2012 easy! Even Game Informer said so!

Enziet4027d ago

What? It was a great game. I probably played 200 hours on it. The ending is even great now that they fixed it.

Blacktric4027d ago

"Even Game Informer said so!"

Get a load of this guy.

BiggCMan4027d ago

^ Yes. It's not that ME3 was good or bad, but when you said "Even Game Informer said so!" is when I shook my head.

LOGICWINS4027d ago

WOW, Game Informer said so!? I should run out and buy it then before my hands explode!

Beaniscomin4027d ago

Hey, Game Informer is a trustworthy and reliable news source that obviously never compromises their journalistic integrity in the name of receiving payoffs from game companies... right?

... right?

SilentNegotiator4026d ago (Edited 4026d ago )

I once farted in one of the editor's faces when they bent down to pick something up off the floor. They gave it a 7/10.

Seriously, pleasing GameInformer is not an accomplishment. They give out good scores like candy.

Wigriff4027d ago

Game Informer... who also gave Ni No Kuni a 7 out of 10? Those are the people you trust?

xXBlondieVanHarlowXx4027d ago

Did they now... *grabs gasoline canister*

Jk, but seriously a 7!? They are dead to me.

Wigriff4027d ago (Edited 4027d ago )

Yep, a 7 out of 10. That isn't the worst part. The worst part are some of the 'reasons' why the reviewer gigged it – namely because it was "too hard," and had "too many random encounters," and was "too old-school." Read it for yourself.

<I>"Ni No Kuni features many battles, but most trying is the player’s struggle against old-school mechanics. First off, every area contains an absurd amount of random encounters, and while enemies are visible on the field, they charge instantly once spotting you. Avoiding them is next to impossible, even after upgrading Oliver’s speed.

This problem is exacerbated by limited save points in dungeons (although the world map allows saving at any time). If you die before reaching a save point, you’re transported back to the dungeon’s entrance, grinding through the same enemies again. When you perish, Ni No Kuni also fines you 10 percent of your money to keep earned XP. Death is a possibility in every battle, keeping you constantly alert and forcing you to learn the battle system."</I>

I died once in the entire game. Once. My 8-year-old daughter plays it, and I don't think she has died more than maybe half-a-dozen times. Where is this great difficulty at? lol

DarkBlood4027d ago

The walking Dead Telltale game= have some feels lol

Why market something that isn't designed to be sold?

This has GP rental written all over it.

Tacoboto3h ago

They just posted a 20+ minute video about Psychosis and how the game portrays that through Senua.

Regardless of what Microsoft is doing (retweeting Ninja Theory is about as low effort as it gets, and Dashboard Dynamic Themes should've come months ago), Ninja Theory themselves are at least trying.

It's sad though. That new video was a really good behind-the-scenes too, and it just came at such a bad time.

Tankbusta403h ago

How much marketing do games really need these days? People that play games know when its coming out. I really think the days of the constant tv ad etc are going the way of the Dodo. What scares me more is the lack of "previews" on big video game websites, it only got a few on April 4th and then nothing since.

RNTody2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Wow Tankbusta40 how out of touch with reality can you be, mate. Do you think companies are insane to spend millions on having giant billboards for big releases and TV adverts and superbowl slots and round the clock PR and interviews? Most of the people who buy games aren't on gaming forums like these knowing the exact release dates!

This isn't being marketed because Microsoft isn't selling the product, it's a Game Pass day one and they don't throw their weight behind games like this.

Hugodastrevas2h ago

Wait, this game's actually still being made?

Hedstrom1h ago

Ninja Theory is gonna be MS next cut!

Crows901h ago

Most likely. Otherwise more people would know about the game....most people don't...it'll drive some in Gamepass but that's probably going to be it.

If sony want their games to be more successful on pc and to sell more they need to bring the games day-one like helldivers 2! , and not after 2 years.

-Foxtrot7h ago

If it's first party (can't speak on Helldivers) then the PS5 should be focused on first in my opinion rather than worrying about 2 versions.

PrinceOfAnger6h ago

Nixxes can help with the development and release the games at the same time..

Tacoboto3h ago

Nixxes takes completed code and ports that to PC. I'm sure they do work during primary development but I like this setup.

PS5 owners are treated as first class by their platform holder, PC players get the final complete version, and GaaS are treated separately. Win-win.

Kornholic2h ago

Sony should follow the Microsoft route and kill Playstation the same way MS has killed Xbox? Are you serious?

XiNatsuDragnel6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

First party ps5 games need to be ps5 only until 6 months imo because they need to sell consoles still and then focus on PC later.

shinoff21836h ago

I don't see a big deal. The sales also help future development. I'm all in.

thesoftware7304h ago

This makes sense, just now doing it shows how behind and short-sighted regarding PC they were to begin with.

shaenoide4h ago

If they release it day one many will not buy a playstation anymore (me included).

Jingsing2h ago

I'm already not buying a PS5 Pro or PS6 and it isn't day one, They are already damaging themselves.

Gravesinger_9m ago

Hello, HI...PC gamer here. I've wanted to play Ghost of Tushima since day one........NEVER bought a PS5, and WONT ever buy another console and GoT is coming out in a few days for PC, and its the complete version of the game. $ony withholding first party games for three years isn't making a bunch of PC people go out and buy consoles, if anything..we wait, and get the game and the DLC for the price of one.
