Top 3 Choices:
Borderlands 2: Borderlands 2 has been called Borderlands 1.5 as criticism for not improving enough to call it a sequel. Despite that, the game still has amazing dialogue, loot chasing, customization, and story. And the game has improved on the last one, somewhat. There is now a main villain for you to destroy, the customization options are great, guns are now even more awesome with the different features they can have, and the skill trees are amazing just to look at. Definitely a contender for Game of the Year.
Guild Wars 2: the launch of the new guild wars was meet with varying reactions, from some saying it's the worst money they've ever spent and other still not able to stop playing it. I thoroughly enjoyed Guild Wars 2-the level adjustment, PvP and WvWvW, the crafting, questing, exploration-the game is very well made, designed, and thought out, and it's lack of monthly fees made this one a no-brainer for me.
Honorable Mentions!
Pokemon Black And White 2: While Game Freak continues it's streak of vastly improving upon the last installment of their franchise, this one seemed to be a backtrack in some places, mostly the utility of the touch screen. In the last Pokemon I played (Diamond), the utility of the touch screen could be changed to see your Pokemon's health, a pedometer, or a clock. Black and White 2 has changed that functionality to the 'C-Gear,' which if you don't have wireless turned on is absolutely useless. The rest of the game is still very fun though.
Halo 4: The newest Halo was an excellent game, but the campaign ran a little short, and once again, lack of online made the game rather stale after a while. However, with the weekly Spartan Ops, fun-as-always multiplayer, and more streamlined story, this game was definitely one of the best of 2012.
