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?
Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward might not be for everyone; all told, most of its 35-40 hours involve reading a steady stream of dialogue with very few graphical flourishes, which some would say doesn't make best use of our spectacle-focused medium. Look beyond its old-school fundamentals (rooted deep with Japanese adventure games of the '80s), though, and you'll find a bold rethinking of how games can deliver a narrative.
