Video games can be many things to many people, so the idea of proclaiming a single one as the best of 2012 strikes us as a little limiting. This year, instead of screaming at each other for hours in a sweaty, smoke-filled room until we emerge with a handful of winners, your friends at 1UP have decided to forsake categorization and write about the experiences that brought us the most enjoyment this year -- and that's the point of playing video games, isn't it?
Jeremy: This year saw a remarkable number of games inspired by PC RPG classic Rogue hit the market, everything from zombie survival game DayZ to sci-fi strategy hybrid FTL. For my money, none of them are a patch on Mossmouth's Spelunky. Admittedly, Spelunky's been around for a while as a Windows game, but the Xbox Live version released this year feels like a definitive overhaul -- enough to count as a new game. Not only did designer Derek Yu trick out the graphics, the game simply begs to be played with a game pad.
