2012 has been packed full of blockbuster video game hits, and we’ve compiled a list of our favorites of the year.
FIFA 13 (Wii U, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360)
FIFA racks up annual sales that rival games like Call of Duty and Mario, with over 100 million copies sold since it hit the scene way back on the Sega Genesis. FIFA also delivers a quality soccer game that improves with every iteration, and FIFA 13 is no exception.
If you’re a soccer newcomer or a veteran of “the beautiful game,” FIFA 13 adapts to your skill level from the start. Simple controls allow you to get a handle on the basics of passing, shooting and lobbing, while experienced gamers can quickly move onto using the analog sticks to perform moves that include juking defenders and dishing out one-touch passes to a rushing striker.
It also doesn’t matter if you’re a fan of the Premiere League, MLS, or just International play, because FIFA will have the team for you. Visually, the game is represented as if you’re watching the game on TV, and audio is one of FIFA’s strength (yes, those are team-specific chants just for your team). If you’re a soccer fan or not, FIFA 13 is a worthy addition to your gaming library.
