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."
