2012 has been packed full of blockbuster video game hits, and we’ve compiled a list of our favorites of the year.
Call of Duty: Black Ops II
When a series continues to break sales records with every new title, you know it has to be good. Call of Duty: Black Ops II is the latest shooter from Treyarch and Activision, but instead of taking you to Vietnam or World War II, they’re taking us to the year 2025.
Unlike other games that take place in the future, we’re not talking about some far-fetched world. Instead, they did a good job of portraying a future that is entirely plausible. If you’re a Call of Duty vet, you’ll recognize a few of the characters as you go through the single player campaign, but if you’re new to the series, Black Ops II is a great way to jump into the action.
Of course, there are millions of Call of Duty gamers out there who won’t even touch the single-player campaign and will instead hop right into multiplayer. It’s that good no matter if you’re playing a traditional deathmatch or one of the zombie modes that serve as a refreshing change of pace. If your action gamer hasn’t picked this one up, there may be a problem, so help them out this holiday season by picking up Black Ops II.
