"As the curtain closes on what has been an incredible year in gaming it's hard to not look back on the past 12 months with anything but affection. With its record-breaking launches, controversial bans and huge multi-national mergers, it's certainly been one to remember. More importantly, it's been a vintage year for games, whether you're a trigger-happy FPS fan or someone who prefers games that are a little more intellectually challenging."
