And when you consider how few PC titles Gamespot actually reviews it makes it all the more sweeter.

It seems like not a day goes by when the PC doesn't have something new to play.

It's funny, because most of the 3DS eShop releases- stuff which would surely score AE or above- is never even reviewed by Gamespot. PC and 3DS really dominated this year.

360/PS3 massacre the 3DS if you include multiplats. Overall Microsoft dominated 2012 since they own PC.

Planet side 2 easily trumps any game on the console lists. I was in the beta and it was intense. With the new release of it today I had EASILY seen battles of 500+ players at a time, nothing but constant explosions and death everywhere.

Nope; all that Rockstar said was that they were considering a PC and Wii U version for the game as well. They never said that it would or would not release on those platforms (or when it would release in case it's the latter)

[QUOTE="freedomfreak"]Arcade did a lot for the 360. I'm expecting the same next year.

It seems to be that digital is slowly growing more and more important for gaming. For PC, it is self explanatory. For Xbox 360, the Xbox Live Arcade bolsters its entire library up. For 3DS, even when the retail library flounders, the eShop picks up the slack and gives us games like Pushmo and Liberation Maiden. For PS3, the highest rated exclusive this year was a PSN title Journey. For PS Vita, the highest rated game of its library period yet is Sound Shapes, which is digital only.

Yeah, although Arcade has always been consistent throughout the years releasing quality downloadable titles.

I would like to inform you that it would logically follow that if the PS3 was not in first place, second place, or third place, it is not in the top 3.

As for the scores, I don't consider expansion packs(PC), downloadable games(360,PS3) to be on par with full releases.

System wars rules indicate that downloadable games and expansion packs are all to be considered as part of the metagame. Therefore, they were listed here. Moreover, many digital games on platforms (Shadow Complex for Xbox, Journey for PS3, Pushmo for 3DS) are actually at least as good as, if not outright better, than many retail games. There is no reason to discriminate anymore.

Do iPhone/iPad games count in this metagame?

Because that makes Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery EP a multiplat. Similar case with Hero Academy (Though, I believe the PC version has additional features over the iPhone/iPad version).

Was there ever any doubt?

I mean, like really was there any doubt? I would think that anyone with common sense and a brain would know that the PC was the clear winner once again.

Well, as you can see from the 2012 totals, PC gaming has more than a little wiggle room. One title either way doesn't even move the needle.

And if your crystal ball prediction fails and GTAV PC does hit next year, well that's just icing on the cake.

Look into Metacritic and the difference becomes much less marked. The problem with GS, again, is that it ignores games. Funny how factions need to ignore reality to beat the PS3 lol.

SA was bigger, but the story sucked and so did the music. VC is just so much class, SA is like the thug who thinks he's hot $hit because he's got a bigger gun.

They aren't though. Out of 36 games these are the mmos and shooters:

Guild Wars 2
Natural Selection 2
Tribes: Ascend
World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria

4 out of 36 games = most games:roll:

Youre dumb or a liar. That would imply you have heard of only ~2 of those games. There are >2 "mainstream" games or games from popular series: Diablo 3, WoW MoP, GW2, Total War Shogun 2, Sims 3, etc...quit trolling

Your butthurt is amusing. I also find it sad you judge intelligence by how closely somebody follows video games. Unlike you gaming is only a passive hobby of mine and I don't spend hours of time obsessing over it. And that 95% is an intentional over-exaggeration. Either way, get a life.

Yep, as allways PC > 360 > PS3, and we aren't even counting PC/360 multiplats like The Witcher 2, Minecraft and alan Wake AN!

2012 was a great gen's last lap! Now bring next gen on.
