Journey, Borderlands 2 and XCOM lead Amazon’s Top 20 Video Games of 2012

Amazon has assembled their "Best of 2012 in Gaming" list. The editors have narrowed it down to 20 games, complete with links to buy them at discounted prices — how convenient! To compile the list, Amazon Games' editors use their judgment, as well as user reviews, "to ensure our choices were in line with the opinions of our customers." So, if anything, user feedback had a larger role in this Best of 2012 list than most other lists. The games on the list, their prices and consoles are:

  1. Journey Collector's Edition $46.99 PlayStation 3.
  2. Borderlands 2 $49.99 Xbox 360, $45 PlayStation 3, and $29.99 PC download.
