Console/PC Games

Favorite PC Game of 2012: Legend of Grimrock- This is really the only PC game i have played more than just donking around with it. i played a full HOUR AND A HALF
Favorite PS3 Game of 2012: Hyper Dimension Neptunia Mk 2- this is also the only PS3 game i've played, but i actually really like it. Sometimes it's really bad, but it hits all the genki points.
Favorite Wii/Wii U Game of 2012: Wii- Last Story, Wii U- Nintendo Land. i want to separate them because they're both different, and both great. Stop listing Kirby, you missed so many great games. Everyone who doesn't own at least one copy of Rhythm Heaven should be ASHAMED.
Favorite 360 Game of 2012: Final Fantasy XIII-2- This is the only Xbox game i played this year. The real winner is Netflix, but PS3 does that better too.
Favorite Console/PC Game of 2012: Nintendo Land

Mobile/Portable Games

Favorite DS/3DS Game of 2012: Paper Mario Sticker Star- There were a lot of really good 3DS games... I think i spent most of my time catching up on DS games though.
Favorite PSP/Vita Game of 2012: Um... Persona 2 Innocent Sin even though it's last year. I bought a lot of PSP games this year, but i barely played anything except Persona and FFIX

I forgot about Hudson, because I feel like they really died when they merged with Konami. They haven't done much since then. I think I still might go with future potential over past laurels though.

edit: I also came up with a better prediction:

Half-Life 3 is announced as a Steam/Steambox exclusive at E3.
