Gaming Games of the Year 2011

I will just list the 3 games I have played the most this year, even if I have stopped playing 2 of them now.

World of Tanks - (3)
Skyrim - (2)
Witcher 2 - (1)

As a result they would be my top 3.

 

Minor spoiler in the Deus Ex section: "a terrorist attack that sees his ex-girlfriend kidnapped"

Might want to edit that to make her fate more ambiguous.

 

Something is wrong here, Battlefield 3 fourth place? you joking, it is the best game ever!

 

No Witcher 2, WTF? At least MW3 wasn't included.

 

Funnily enough I found Rage to be a huge disappointment, and I'm the biggest id fanboy there is. The second by second gameplay was excellent, but everything else was poorly designed, poorly implemented and far, far too short.

Personally I agree with most of the list, really enjoyed Deus Ex and am really enjoying Skyrim. Plus, I cleverly got around the console port problems by playing them on a console! Ingenious!

You're absolutely right, of course. A better name for this article would've been, "A Gamer's Checklist for Christmas". Even though I don't care for a single one of them!
(Just bought "Hard Reset" at 4AM today. So far, "WOW.")

 

Its criminal to award Skyrim GOTY.

There are far too many bugs and glitches to claim this game was properly tested before release and so to give it any kind of award is rewarding incompetence and shoddy work.

Its a huge game - there's loads to do and see but my journal is full of uncompleted and bugged quests and my inventory is loaded down with items I dont want and cannot get rid of.

Its needed modders to make this game stable with the LAA fix which Bethesda have been forced to adopt - will they have to adopt the TESVAL fix next? When will they get around to fixing the dozens of quest bugs or will that too be left to the 'community'?

Bethesda has already made a bucket full of money with this game and thats enough - don't go giving them any awards until they fix the bugs.

 

I am greatly surprised that The Witcher 2 hasn't placed.

 

Boring list of overhyped meh. This is how it should be:

5) Wakfu / Saints Row 3 / Shift 2 Unleashed / SWTOR / Minecraft / Magicka
4) Portal 2
3) DCS A-10C
2) Trine 2
1) Batman Arkham City

 

+1 to this. Playing through it currently and it is a beautiful game.
