The "games I've played in 2012" thread.

Started playing Pullblox on the 3DS after I got home from work last night. It's a brilliant puzzle game perfectly suited to the 3DS, although it's (naturally) incredibly easy in the early stages, and I haven't gotten far into it yet. But I can imagine that the puzzles will end up getting pretty tricky and interesting!

It's only $11.25 on the e-shop, so those of you with a 3DS should snap this up.

Finished the Dead Space 2 DLC and am starting Crysis 1 on the 360 tonight, seemed like a bargain at $29 on xbox m-place. So many games, so little time.

That's on my watchlist along with Zen Pinball and another game I've forgotten the name of (hey, that's what the watchlist is for ). Looks awesome and well worth the $11

Finished Skyrim, been dabbling in a few Kinect titles. Giving Burnout Crash a hiding, and have just started Dead Space 2.

200/200 for Banjo Kazooie last night.

Started Spiderman: Edge of Time. If this continues being as good as it has been, I think it'll be well worth a look in by Spidie fans for sure.

Portal 2 was my GOTY. Got the week it came out. Loved it. Did campaign twice and the CO Op with a friend.

Followed by Uncharted 3! I thought single player was better in 2, but 3 was still amazing.

Uncharted 3 only JUST beat Batman Arkham City for second. Mainly cos I had such a good time on the co op modes too.
Arkham City was fantastic though and takes the third spot for me.

Along with those 3 beasts, I also loved Rayman Origins (only just started though) and will hopefully do some co op soon when my woman gets off her ass. And also picked up Mass Effect 2 and finished that in its entirity and its DLC - 45 hour play through. Cannot wait for the 3rd game

So those 5 were my favorite. In 2011 I also played through:
LA Noire (purchased. Was ok)
Super Mario 3d Land (Gift. Loved it)
Killzone 3 (purchased. finished. hated. sold)
NFS Hot Pursuit (purchased cheap. loved. Criterion are brilliant devs)
Just Cause 2 (purchased. was mean fun)
Dead Space 2 (purchased day 1, time off work. Orgasm'd)
Infamous 2 (purchased as a time filler as I thought 1st was ok, but I was pleasantly impressed with the sequel)
Mario Kart 7 (lots of fun)
FEAR 3 (rented. finished. Surprised with quality as I didn't like 2 but loved 1)
Duke Nukem Forever (ugh. Rented. Hated.)
Crysis 1 (PSN download. Good deal!)
Ocarina of time 3d (got with 3ds. I like, but I got a bit bored and prefer Mario land)
Modern Warfare 3 (Rented, finished. Was ok, better than 2, but I find COD boring since 4)

Also picked up L4D 1 and 2, Amnesia (poo in pants!), Super Meat Boy and Defcon in Steam Sales. I know there was a lot more on sale, but I use OSX (come at me)

Got Dungeon Defenders on Android, pretty good......except as all touch games, I HATE the virtual control pad.

Over the past week or so, I've played:

* Resident Evil: Code Veronica
* Resident Evil: Revelations demo (3DS)
* Finally plucked up the courage to return to my second playthrough of Fallout: New Vegas
* Gears of War 3 - kinda enjoying Versus multiplayer. It's just a good, simple, pick-up-and-play online shooter.

[nzBrowncoat]

Played some Horde, Xotic (sigh) and finished Crysis 1 playthrough. Solid game. Wish more good quality games were available for download at that $29 price point. I would never go near a shop.

Edit# Also I see on Major Nelson that Bastion is coming up at 600 points! Won't miss it this time.

I really need to bust out the Dreamcast and try this game again. Back in 2000 I played this until I got utterly and completely stuck. Got to an ice/snow section, killed every monster I could find and then nothing happened. I was just wandering about trying to find where to progress to and couldn't find a thing, no puzzles, no zombies, nothing. So yeah.... will try again one day.

Thanks for the heads-up - be thinking about grabbing that, but will wait now.

Hey i see Rock Band 3 is $29.99 as a digital download - good price.

Finished Halo Anniversary co-opping with a mate - really enjoyed it. We're going to play through Reach next.

Also finished Prince of Persia Forgotten Sands, in one 15 hour session. I really enjoyed it, but took me ages to get past one of the water-freezing platform sections - timing was everything in that game.

Revisited Borderlands, and got quite far into it - looking forward to 2.

Went ape on Mass Effect 2 - 3 should be equally awesome. Picked up 1, but haven't really touched it.

Quite a few games i really need to look at again that i either haven't touched for a while, only got a fraction of the way through, or haven't even put in the machine yet;
- Just Cause 2 - looks hella fun, and i've only really just tooled around exploring and shit.
- Bionic Commando - like the idea of the bionic arm grapple thing, ala Just Cause 2. This was an impulse buy when i saw it Zavvi or Gameshop for cheap. Apparently rather average at best.
- The Saboteur - 1st mission done, then never touched again.
- Halo Wars - bought 2 years ago, still hasn't even been put in the drive (not sure it ever will be).
- Original Prince of Persia - never been in the drive.

Just went to have a look at my collection - holy crap, so much stuff i've barely touched, what a waste; Crackdown2, BF3, Alan Wake, Orange Box, Farcry 2, Forza 4, Condemned 2 .... and i could actually go on.

Need to pull my finger out and start playing some of these.

This afternoon, i think i'll spend some time in New Vegas

Last time I played it (before the HD version I'm playing now), my flatmates and I rented it on PS2 while we were at university. Ploughed through it solidly in the better part of a weekend, and got to what was SURELY the final boss, but we had SFA ammo. And for fear of spoilers, let's just say that there was no way we could go and scrounge for more

Funnily enough, it's the same problem I ran into the first time I tried to finish the original Resident Evil - something I've only recently rectified! Anyways, really enjoying Code Veronica. Those worried about the direction RE5/6 etc are heading in should check out Code Veronica if they haven't already.

Hopefully I have enough MS Points left over after Alan Wake: American Nightmare drops to pick up Bastion at 600!

[Newsboy]

So any hints for the place I'm stuck in?

[Leggetron]

I can't actually place where you're up to based on what you've written - either due to my hazy memory or I'm not up to that bit yet in my current playthrough.

Any other clues as to how far through the game you were?
