Well that was 4 hours wasted lol. I updated my list of games to play:

Goes by year, worst to best as rated on metacritic.
2012 does indeed look pathetic so far. Even if the number of play-worthy releases doubles, it still won't be close to 2011 amount. Was 2011 the best year for PC gaming?
What's also interesting is the severe lack of first person shooters, and even third person. They're barely coming out now, not helped when critics give great games like Rage an average score. The vast majority of PC games seem to be strategy and adventure. Who the hell plays all these strategy games?
Oh and these are almost all first or third person. I don't play platformers or top down
