Only after five months I have finally got around to doing my awards for the best games of last year. I have put together a list of the best PC and Xbox 360 games from 2012.

To qualify for an award I must have played the game in the last 12 months (2011-2012) but the game doesn’t have to be released in 2012. Also if I haven’t played a game yet it can’t be up for an award as I wont know whether its good or not.
