Guy ‘Yug’ Blomberg is the creator of the Mana Bar videogame cocktail bar, and is bringing PAX (the largest gaming expo in America) to Australia next year. If he says these are the five best video games of 2012, they probably are.
5. Max Payne 3 (Xbox 360/Playstation 3)
Not Rockstar Games’ strongest title or franchise, but still a brilliant return for the slo-mo gunplay series.
4. The Walking Dead (Xbox 360/Playstation 3/PC/iOS)
Episodic content done right; strong emotional narrative available on everything from console to iOS.
3. Mass Effect 3 (Xbox 360/Playstation 3/WiiU)
Controversial conclusions aside, it’s the best RPG of this generation.
2. Far Cry 3 (Xbox 360/Playstation 3)
Open world stealth done right, with the most memorable villain of the year.
1. Journey (Playstation 3)
Beautiful, emotional, almost indescribable. It’s a journey you won’t regret.
