2012 in Games, in Under Two Minutes

December 19, 2012 by Jordan Erica Webber

A YouTube user sets scenes from 2012’s most memorable games to a haunting song from Mass Effect 3

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:

Halo 4
Diablo 3
Max Payne 3
Mass Effect 3
Guild Wars 2
Far Cry 3
Assassin's Creed 3
SSX
Hitman: Absolution
XCOM: Enemy Unknown
Dear Esther
