In life, there are certain very important things. 1. Reproduction 2. Love 3. Health 4. Buffalo chicken fingers 5. Video games. So let's start with the basics, at number five. The essentials of video games for 2012.
Mass Effect 3
Despite the recent controversy over publisher EA's launch-day downloadable content strategy, the finale of the Mass Effect trilogy is the most anticipated sci-fi release since Star Wars: Episode I. Taking up arms as Commander Shepard one last time, role-playing gamers will fight back the Reaper invasion while dealing with decisions made as far back as Mass Effect

Silent Hill -- HD Collection
Possibly the scariest games ever made, no collection is complete without these standout entries in the psychosexual horror series. So why not get both in HD?
We're actually pretty pleased that this remastered package only includes Silent Hill 2 and 3. Put the original in this set, and we'll be out of spare underwear faster than a team of Cambodian children can weave replacements.

Ninja Gaiden 3
Kids are used to tutorials, online FAQs and modern gaming experiences that are about as challenging as beating Michael J. Fox in Jenga. But men remember what Nintendo Hard means. And no series epitomizes rage-inducing difficulty like Ninja Gaiden. In this third-person ninja slash-em-up you will die. A lot. But the satisfaction of finally beating a boss makes the pain worth it.
Tomb Raider
The pointy boobs that launched a million male puberties are back!
While this new title promises to be a reboot of the famous franchise, it's also a prequel. Raiders will play a 21-year-old Lara Croft, still pillaging ancient relics but with a much grittier and survivalist feel. If old-school Tomb Raiders lets you play out Raiders of the Lost Ark fantasies (with a massive mammalogical twist), new Lara looks more like a Temple of Doom-style

Max Payne
Rockstar Games, the geniuses behind Grand Theft Auto, have had Max in their back pocket since 2003 (we'll just all agree to forget the Mark Wahlberg movie). A shooter that combines bullet-time gameplay, film noir storytelling, and comic book presentation, Max Payne has always been about dark streets and darker alleys.
But you better bring your sunscreen for the sequel.
While Max Payne 3 promises to maintain that noir feeling, it's taking Payne to the mean streets - yet delightfully bright skies - of São Paulo, Brazil.

Far Cry 3
Published by Ubisoft, makers of the Crytek game engine, the Far Cry series is one of the most consistently downright pretty first-person shooters. But one shouldn't judge a bullet-ridden book by its cover. Playing as vacationer Jason Brody, the player finds himself trapped on a chain of tropical islands inhabited by relatively insane personages. It's basically like the first half-hour of Predator, minus Jesse Ventura. We're not sure how we feel about
that.

Borderlands 2
Guns, guns, guns. Weapon porn is always the quickest way to a man's gaming heart. And Borderlands' randomly generated (therefore nearly infinite) loot drops of hand guns, shotguns, sniper rifles and a bevy of other weapons make this title any gun nut's wet dream. Add a 'Wild West meets outer space' world setting, and you get an explosively good time.
XCOM
2K Games may have subtracted a hyphen, but they've added a new perspective and new life to this classic man vs. Martian series. Traditionally a strategy series, the new first-person shooter XCOM has players assuming the role of a 1960's G-Man combating an alien invasion. Fans of the traditional series are worried about tarnishing XCOM's legacy, but developers revamped the entire game after harsh criticism in 2011. Here's hoping that nerd
