It’s the end of 2012 and that means two things: the holiday season is in full swing, and every gaming outlet is pumping out Game of the Year awards and nominations. I have recently been given the fantastic opportunity to work for Splitkick as one of their podcast co-hosts. I was asked by the staff as well to contribute my choices for 2012’s Game of the Year.

With the expo more than half over, it’s more about the gameplay than the announcements. Still though, expect to see a few more surprises as the show presses on.
The first day of the open convention floor saw a lot of fantastic announcements. On top of that, Nintendo gave a pretty decent press conference, detailing lots of information and games about the upcoming Wii U system (without forgetting it’s new friend, the 3DS either).
