This year the Star Wars franchise was sold, Nintendo released a new console, and gamers got to kill a zombie President. Does that make it a good year? You tell me.

Check out this video, from the author of the webcomics Domics, which looks back at 2012 in gaming, with a little tongue-in-cheek humor.

Ok year for video games. 2013 is going the better. Must say I can't wait for gtav. Been on my list for most anticipated game for a minute now...

That was kind of funny up until the AC3 part... Then it just sounded like a CoD fan boy stereotype come to life!

Hey, there are always some good games out each year.

I'll admit I laughed pretty hard at "Halo 4's campaign was shorter than Danny DeVito kneeling in an irrigation ditch".

We got to kill a president!? Oh right, Washington in that DLC.

Best year ever!
by dietrick gault Saturday, December 29, 2012 at 01:48 PM

definitely true about the final fantasy sequels...
by Startrek007 Saturday, December 29, 2012 at 01:52 PM

Here's hoping for a better next year.

Im going to assume the title picture was aimed at Bioware.They lost their artistic integrity the second they sold their souls to devil EA.EA cant lose something they NEVER had in the first place.
by Drew Saturday, December 29, 2012 at 02:00 PM

Video reminds me of Claire's charecter in Six Feet Under. There's always some artsy "everything sucks" type out there who's only enjoyment is bashing stuff. Not sure if I should laugh or feel depressed to be a gamer wtf
by RFXRage Saturday, December 29, 2012 at 02:00 PM

I didn't find that funny........
by Drew Saturday, December 29, 2012 at 02:06 PM

@rfxrage, exactly it just kinda made me feel stupid for enjoying any of those games. I get what the video "tried" to do, but that's so not what I took away from it
by Jble Saturday, December 29, 2012 at 02:12 PM

That's exactly how I described my excitement for the wii u
by Frib on Fire Saturday, December 29, 2012 at 02:36 PM

Hahaha loved it. A really good year for games, and a really good year for making fun of games. Can't think of a better combo
