Dust yourself down. Put away that hateful anorak. Winter has come and gone and as the year draws to a close it’s time for reflection. Revel in the first glimmers of sunshine as spring ushers in the first whiff of the festive season.
To celebrate, we’ve compiled a list of 2012’s best games. Don’t expect to see Assassins Creed 3 or Halo 4 here. These games still have a few days to go before their release; as does a certain bald-headed killer in his latest and as for December, Far Cry 3 looks set to round off the year in style. But these are all moments to look forward to. Instead, enjoy this list of the best games we’ve enjoyed thus far.

Sleeping Dogs was all but finished, but when it was dropped by its publisher it was certain never to see the light of day. Sensing potential in the game, Square Enix stepped in to save Sleeping Dogs and released it in August to worldwide fanfare. Truly Activision missed a trick.
