2012 in Games, in Under Two Minutes

Want a quick reminder of some of the best (and most important) games from this year? YouTube user Malcolm Klock has cut a two-minute video that incorporates clips from 35 games that came out this year, most big names with a few memorable indie titles thrown in.

The video is set to the Leaving Earth song from Mass Effect 3 (obviously one of the games on the list), so scenes have been chosen to fit to that. It all works rather well, and might even draw a tear if you've got particularly strong feelings or memories associated with any of these games.

Here's the list, for those who want to plan a backlog of games to play, muse about how many sequels there are, or just argue about ones that have been included and shouldn't or haven't been included and should:
