Search powerhouse Google has continued its end of the year information dump and is now revealing the most searched for video game related terms for the past 12 months, with Assassin’s Creed 3 unexpectedly taking the crown from bigger titles.

The full list includes, as quoted by MCV:

Assassin’s Creed 3 - Ubisoft, 2012 Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 - Activision, 2012 Borderlands 2 - 2K Games, 2012 FIFA 12 - EA Sports, 2011 FIFA 13 - EA Sports, 2012 Grand Theft Auto V - Rockstar, 2013 Halo 4 - Microsoft, 2012 Mass Effect 3 - Electronic Arts, 2012 Skylanders - Activision, 2011, 2012 The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Bethesda, 2011

The Google trends are not a predictor for the actual success of a title, as Activision has reported that Black Ops 2 has sold more than Assassin’s Creed 3.
