Top 5 Games Of 2012: Pete's List

#2: Far Cry 3
Weapon deterioration. Poor quick travel. An empty game world. Endlessly respawning enemies. You won't find any of these nuisances in FC3. Ubisoft took fan feedback for Far Cry 2 to heart and delivered a dramatically improved sequel.

Even if the game didn't have its co-op campaign and competitive multiplayer, it would've made my Top 5 list. The single-player world is such a pleasure to explore, with diverse and meaningful side missions around every corner. The campaign missions are just as varied and engaging. Stealth, hunting, racing, shooting - this games does it all and does it well.
