2nd post and it's already a best of list.....

Is it to late to post a best of 2011 list in late January? Fuck it...it's my blog and I'll do what I want. Here's my top three plus some honorable mentions that I enjoyed in 2011.

 Number 3: Batman Arkham City

The sequel to 2009's Arkham Asylum not only improved the gameplay and graphics it also told in my opinion a much better story if only a little unfocused in places. If I have really complain about one thing it's not the game itself but the way the Catwoman campaign/DLC code was handled by Warner Bros. games.

Number 2: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Over two months after release and Felon and I have still yet to beat it, that's really all that needs to be said.

Number 1 or Game of the Year: Portal 2

The absolute best part about 2007's The Orange Box for me was Portal. The puzzles were top-notch, the writing was clever, and the end credits song by Jonathon Coulton is still stuck in my head. Portal 2 has this all and more, adding new characters like Wheatley and Cave Johnson, the gels, the back story to Aperture Science.....I could go on and on.



Mobile Game(s) of the Year: Minecraft-Pocket Edition/ Batman: Arkham City Lockdown

If you love Minecraft but occasionally have to leave your computer to do other things besides play virtual Lego, that's a shame but now you can play anywhere. The only mode available currently is Classic but Mojang is working on getting the other modes out soon. 

Batman Arkham City Lockdown is pretty much Infinity Blade but with a Batman skin and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. 

 Honorable Mention: The Uncharted Trilogy (Drake's Fortune, Among Thieves, and Drake's Deception)

For Christmas this year Felon and I finally bought a PS3 of our very own and the bundle I picked up included all three of the Uncharted games. To say that these games may be some of the best looking of this entire generation is an understatement (especially 2 & 3), the motion capture for the characters and level design are extraordinary. While it may be because I played all three consecutively I feel that the story falls a little flat near the end of Drake's Deception. Overall though this is a great mix of action,platforming,and story that you really don't see in a lot of in games these days.
