Welcome everyone to the 11th annual Mod of the Year awards, a celebration of the best mods released in 2012 as well as the up and coming whom we hope edge towards release in 2013. For the next 30 days, it's time to recognize the dedication and creativty of so many hobbyist game developers who have given everything to their craft (which, in many cases amounts to years of development). 2012 was a massive year with horror mods like Cry of Fear and the hotly anticipated Black Mesa pushing our servers to their absolute limits with over 300,000 people in one day, all trying to play.

We expect the 2012 Mod of the Year to be our biggest yet - so make yourself count by finding your favorite mods and voting for them! Who will join our first ever MOTY winner Natural Selection, who in 2002 took out the awards and 11 years later released a critially acclaimed best-selling sequel? Up until Jan 1st 2013 join us and help celebrate your community, culture and give thanks to the developers by voting for your favorite projects. Welcome to the 11th Annual Mod of the Year Awards (also check out our Indie of the Year awards and App of the Year awards).

Wow 2012 you were certainly a feature packed year. Every mod that flew the flag of release this year expanded our horizons, crushed expectations and fulfilled fantasies. In order to make the battlefield for the 2012 Mod of the Year awards even we have compacted a whole year into 4 different articles to make it easier for you at home to cast your votes. Here is the third article ranging from July right up until the end of September for twenty dozen.

The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod tries to fix to the best the developers beind the mods abilities the issues The Sith Lords had due to being rushed. TSLRCM contains a host of restored content, most important ones the HK factory and your party members appearing on Malachor. Also this mod fixes many many bugs left inside TSL. More than a thousand bugs have been fixed, from small dialog issues to gamebreaking bugs. The end result is that this mod gives you the most polished and full TSL experience possible, the best possible chance to get the full experience Obsidian tried for when making the game.

GTA IV: San Andreas is a total conversion mod for Grand Theft Auto IV and The Episodes from Liberty City, which will bring back the good old San Andreas map into GTA IV, using the powerful RAGE Engine. Which includes a whole mess of features bringing the game closer to perfection. Regardless of missing singleplayer content the world is abundant and multiplayer is awesome. Don't miss this train CJ.

Grey is a total conversion Half-Life 2 horror modification where the player must solve puzzles, fight to survive, and find out what is happening to the world around you. The devs have made a lot changes to the base Source engine and have added countless new mechanics in the mod such as the objective indicator, portable medkit, donator based extras, pickup animations, failed reloads, new picture based GUI elements and much, much more! One of the best horror mods to release this year and most definitely worth your time!

Just a note, the trailer posted there isn't from TSLRCM, but from M4-78EP, a sister-mod. Also, it's a year old.

Just mentioning it...

Yeah they did not have much there to use. Anything about it really was spoilers. Its a hard mod to showcase in video.

It's my (well, our) mod ;).
And yeah, I can see it being difficult. Bao might have done, but it's only 5 seconds. Tobin is good too, but maybe too spoilery.

It's just that zbyl (lead of M4) wasn't too fond to see promintently the old trailer of M4-78EP there, while we're working on a new better one. C'est la vie.

Twisted Insurrection Public Beta 4 was released mid-September and that has made it into the top 100 three years in a row. Nevermind.
