Actually I kinda did enjoy that game.

C&C: Generals Zero Hour
Played it with my friends.

Doesn't have to be a 2012 game, right?

I don't believe so, no.

And if it does, fuck it, everybody else has stopped caring anyway lol.

Xenoblade Chronicles, Last Story,and FFXIII-2 (my opinion)

Yume Nikki, despite being almost 8 years late to the party I fell in love with it and it was my favorite game of 2012.

Far Cry 3
Fall Out New Vegas
Dragon's dogma

Did the OP get -1 rep because he had Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on there? You anti-CoD fanboys are hopeless.
Anyway my top 3 were
1. Persona 3 (also my favorite game ever)
2. Final Fantasy VII (over 15 years old but I didn't play it until 2012)
3. Devil Survivor

Halo 4, Pokemon Black and White 2, and Uncharted 3.

SF X TK & KH:Dream Drop Distance so far.

SFXT and TKKNTAG 2 with both of my teams customised for personal purpose.

In no particular order...

Katawa Shoujo
Rhythm Heaven Fever
Rayman Origins
Skullgirls
Spec Ops: The Line
Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition

Does it have to have been released in 2012 as well?
If not then it's probably Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad for me.

The Witcher 2: Enhanced Edition was released in 2012, but it was a remaster of sorts so I don't know if that counts.

I'm really picky when it comes to games, there are few I've played that I would be proud to call good (doesn't stop me from nerding all the "average ones" however)

probably Yume Nikki and Bastion

Sleeping dogs for me. It was really interesting.
