This year I didn't buy so many (saving to return to the UK) and I can't remember what's from this year or not. Also what came out in Japan compared to the UK etc so I'm only sticking with the certainties and there are huge gaps. There are also numerous games I would have bought it I was in England the whole year or if I was still in Japan, which would no doubt be in the top ten (like Rocksmith).

Placement #9 gets the least points, placement #1 gets the most points. Also, I know both Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet and Superbrothers were out for something that was not Steam last year but since I don't have an Xbox or an Apple product, and both were released for Steam this year, I am including them on my list.

Arkham City came out in 2011. Or are we counting re-releases and such?

[Skummy]

It came out on the WiiU this year. That was my justification, at least...

[Cactus Drags]

It's just the same game though, isn't it?

[MalaCloudy Black]

Yes.

It was the game of 2011 and 2012.

I didn't begin playing it before now and since people were ranking it, I thought it came out this year.

I'm surprised I haven't even played 10 in the last year, but I think it's down to finally getting a good PC together which has meant buying a lot of games on Steam, most of which are pre 2012.

This whole list is an awkward mess of "I played it this year, fuck you" and "there was a very slight re-release this year"
