They are, beyond control schemes and visuals, the single best reason to play games on a PC. Mods can, at their laziest, tweak a game so its settings or features behave more to your liking. At their most ambitious, they can transform your entire experience, leaving you with something that feels like an all-new game.

This year was a big one for PC mods, with two - DayZ and Black Mesa - rivalling commercial products for public awareness and, perhaps more importantly, quality. But they weren't the only great mods released this year, here's a shortlist of the best mods released during 2012.

  1. Staff

    Ohh, had no idea the HD mod for the original Deus Ex was done.

    It's my favorite game of all time, now I know what to play after I finish Black Mesa

  2. JC2:MP Has to have been the best experience I've had in a game this year by far. I spent countless hours in the demolition derby pit and at the airport flying airplanes into the /tp airport spawn lol.

  3. How did I miss this JC2MP mod? holy crud thats amazing

  4. Omg no way. JC2:MP. This game is in my top 5 of all time, and quite possibly at the #1 spot.

    1000 players. I remember seeing a prototype 1000+ PvP with laser weapons. It was insane. I don't know how I'm containing my excitement right now..

  5. Dark Souls is the best RPG of this generation in my opinion. The mods make it even better than it originally is.
