Well 2012 finally saw some new hardware get launched. No, not the successor to the 7 year old Xbox 360. The Nintendo Wii U. The first HD Nintendo console was a welcome sight in 2012, and it had a surprisingly strong launch lineup. Of course the Dinosaur consoles had plenty of software to combat the threat.

Filed backwards to stop Dvader's whining...

                   9.  Kingdoms Of Amalur         Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning Boxart

Craptastic year. Yay the list is in the correct order now. I was excited to see who number 1 would be. Nyaa The 4th and 5th years of PS2 era were its best. The 4th and 5th years of last gen was 2009-2011 depending on how you look at when the gen started. Clearly the 6th year started the huge decline, we had two years of the industry stuck in a rut.

I loved Zombi U.....idk what to say its one of my favorite launch games ever. It brought back the horror genre, but at the same time felt new and different. How can you not love looting your friends dead corpses?

Its a crime that they won't make a sequel.
