Xbox’s “Top Games of 2012” have now been reported by Microsoft’s own Major Nelson. Major based his results for the “Top Games of 2012” on “average unique users per day” connected to Xbox Live on full versions of a game that was purchased between Jan. 1, 2012 and Dec. 31, 2012.

Of course this year’s top online game was Call of Duty: Black Ops II, which was expected, but here are this year’s results broken down into four categories:
