Doing the impossible 343 Industries build an even better Halo game than its processors. "Halo 4" is the definitive "Halo" experience and a stand-out entry in the series. A new development team with a brand new vision crafted a tight package with a dramatic tilt on a familiar world. Not only did the narrative deliver, but the gameplay, production and expansive multiplayer. It's hard to find faults within the infrastructure of this one, which makes it a clear choice for our "2012 Game of the Year". Congratulations.
