2012 is without a doubt my favorite year in gaming so far, mostly thanks to some of the biggest indie game releases ever - Fez, Journey, Spelunky, Walking Dead, Proteus... I've also been surprised by the quality and fun mechanics of some big AAA titles I never thought I would be hooked on, like XCOM and Dragon's Dogma! Then there's a bunch of iPhone titles that I brought with me everywhere - I know Kingdom Rush and 10000000, among others, kept me up late and had me arrive late to work this year!
I probably forgot a few, and clearly I haven't played everything - my backlog is getting out of control - but I feel the list shown here is mind-blowing. I needed to set this in stone, and that's why I did this quick little mosaic!
10000000 - papo & yo - half-minute hero - puzzle craft - dishonored - sound shapes - out there somewhere - xcom enemy unknown - triple town - la mulana - botanicula - diablo IiI - retrocity rampage - journey - spelunky hd - plague inc.- dustforce - fez - tobe & friends hookshot escape - borderlands 2 - spell sword - proteus - mini mix mayhem - rhythm heaven fever - puzzlejuice - quantum conundrum - tiny&big - sniper elite v2 - walking dead - the unfinished swan - dragon’s dogma - you have to win the game - kingdom rush
