The task of selecting the best video games released during any given year is always a difficult one, and 2012 was no exception to that rule. This was a year that saw new IPs turn into prospective franchises, old genres infused with new life, multiple series continued with unbelievable sequels, and select games that managed to tug at our heartstrings.

Let there be no doubt, 2012 was a fantastic year to be a gamer.

A couple of weeks ago, We Got This Covered revealed some of our nominees for the best video game of 2012. We have since nailed down our full list of the top games of the year, leading to our selection of 2012′s Game of the Year.

  Before we sat down to sort out our top ten we settled on a weighted voting method. None of us picked ACIII as the best game of 2012, however, enough of us placed it high enough in our lists that it received the most votes (The Walking Dead was a very close second).
  
  We talked about changing the order of the list, but ultimately decided to just let our votes stand, as we believed the method we had picked was a fair one.
  
  I personally had the title as my number two, after much inner debate. I agree that the game has a LOT of problems (I’d actually extend that out to the whole series) but it all came down to the setting. I LOVE that time period and was completely happy to fight through the game’s problems just to be in that setting in some way.
  
  It wasn’t my favorite game of 2012, but I simply can’t ignore the fun I had with it.

Ac3 is disjointed, uninspired and worst of all just plain boring. The historical snippets are entertaining but that alone does not make up for its hand holding linear missions.
