With endless movies and books based around the ancient Mayan calendar that the world will end on December 21st 2012, it was only a matter of time before a game came along using the story as a base. From developer Dark Artz Entertainment for the PC, and using Valve’s Source engine, Revelations 2012 released on April 23rd on Steam. You may be surprised to know it’s the developers first game! The first thing you’ll notice is that this is a Source game through and through, even taking advantage of the Left 4 Dead AI tech, which makes a lot of sense seeing as this is a four-player co-op affair. The developers even made a great effort in the game’s setting, which takes place in the Yucatan region of Mexico, the location of the greatest amount of Mayan ruins. The setting is unique for a game, and it’s not a settling that you’ll see very often.

Jim Sterling writes, "Revelations 2012 first came to my attention when a random Twitter pal recommended it, presumably under the impression that I would find something to love in the same way I regularly watch Alien Resurrection and enjoy every shameful second. The trouble is, Alien Resurrection is so bad it's good, and even offers a number of genuinely entertaining moments.
Revelations 2012, on the other hand, just makes me angry. Angry to think that this is the kind of trash that gets approved for Steam while other, more deserving games are denied. Angry to think that a shoddily produced mod can charge $9.99 for a download."
