]]> The NPD Group (opens in new tab), as reported by MCV Pacific (opens in new tab), has unveiled the ten best selling games of 2012, where only three of which were actually released in that year. The remaining seven were all games of 2011, leaving only Max Payne 3, Mass Effect 3 and Diablo III to represent 2012’s current releases.

The full list:

1. Diablo III
2. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
3. Mass Effect 3
4. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
5. Skylanders
6. Battlefield 3
7. Max Payne 3
8. Assassin’s Creed Revelations
9. Mario & Sonic At The London 2012 Olympic Games
10. Saints Row: The Third

Keep in mind there’s a bunch of things this list doesn’t factor in, such as Collectors Editions, Game of the Year re-releases, and digital downloads. Still, when Australian gamers are reaching backwards for their next gaming fix, it’s either an interesting indictment on their tastes, or on the standard of games released in 2012. What’s your take?

]]> Sheep/puzzler/sex/Twin Peaks sim Catherine is a hard one to pin down. That hasn’t stopped the Atlus-carved game from pulling in some fairly decent numbers – it sold 200,000 copies (opens in new tab) during its first week upon release overseas, and worldwide has shifted enough units to be deemed one of the company’s biggest earners (opens in new tab). But what about Australia?

A year has passed since the game hit shelves in its native Japan. And now that it’s finally out Down Under, the question asks itself: how will it fare? Will it pull in similar sales? Or has the delay meant that those who wanted to play it have already imported it?

If you need a refresher course, check out our Catherine coverage here (opens in new tab), from the earliest previews right up to its review. And let us know: did you wait to buy locally, or did you import?
