YouTube user Malcolm Klock took it upon himself to go through some of the games that came out this year, edit them together, and create the video you see below.

You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll say, “I totally forgot that game came out this year,” when you watch 2012 In Gaming: The Year in Under 2 Minutes.

Very well done! Love the music.

Cool montage, I recognized every game there, but I still feel as if he missed a lot, as well.
by Tim Gruver Tuesday, December 18, 2012 at 05:22 PM

Incredible job Jordan! Priceless video editing there. Felt some bias against the Wii U. The holiday season wouldn't be the same without it. No Super Mario Bros. U?!

That's awesome. I think the music choice was spot on.
by Scalux Tuesday, December 18, 2012 at 05:29 PM

Mass Effect music goes with everything :D
by Adrian Weakley Tuesday, December 18, 2012 at 05:29 PM

That was cool as hell. 2012 was a great year for games. Man, that ME3 OST gets me every time. One of the best pieces of music I've heard in a game. It fit the ending so perfectly, I've never been more moved by an ending like that.
by Juanolo Tuesday, December 18, 2012 at 05:34 PM

That was amazing. Well done sir.

great year for gaming.. sad that it's not as respected as books and film yet
by The Brain Tuesday, December 18, 2012 at 05:38 PM

This made me realize how many games I've truly played this year. I've played 90% of the games in this video. My favorites being Journey, The Unfinished Swan, and Mark of the Ninja.
by justinbway23 Tuesday, December 18, 2012 at 05:39 PM

Very well done! Much better than the average YouTube video!

Btw I'm happy to say I've played and beaten almost all of those games! I missed sleeping dogs, darkness 2, journey, and max Payne. But they are all in my backlog!
by StraySkyNight Tuesday, December 18, 2012 at 05:54 PM

Some great games on that list. And props for adding in Dear Esther and some of the lesser known downloadable titles like Journey and Unfinished Swan. Nice video.
by Pauleragon Tuesday, December 18, 2012 at 06:18 PM

Best music in gaming. For those who thought this year was a bad year for games, look at this video
by angel95-_- Tuesday, December 18, 2012 at 06:25 PM

nice! i turned it up too loud and at 24 seconds it scared me :)

Excellent video. But no love for Lollipop Chainsaw?
by la volpe Tuesday, December 18, 2012 at 07:16 PM

Pretty cool.
by WUMBOL0GY Tuesday, December 18, 2012 at 07:19 PM

Wasn't that great until they showed all the logo sequences at the end. Mainly because I don't value cg cutscenes in video games very much, but apparently I value logos.
by Tavia-chan Tuesday, December 18, 2012 at 07:19 PM

Cool video. And it made me realize how many games I've missed out on this year. Cursed lack of monies. :(
by draneri Tuesday, December 18, 2012 at 07:43 PM

I feel like this was biased towards the triple AAA titles and the well-known indie titles. A lot more games came out than this but I guess then the video would be much longer. =/

Also, something to note... it seems that the video excluded a lot of Japanese games, like those from Nintendo and even some amazing JRPGs that came out this year. =(
