2011 Year in Review
By RogueStryker 3 Comments
Well it's that time of year again where everyone is making their top whatever of whatever lists, so while I'm not big into the whole blogging thing, I thought what the heck, why not jump on the bandwagon and create my own year end lists. Like most people, I wasn't able to play everything that came out this year, but I managed to play most of the heavy hitters. (If you're interested in seeing the games I managed to play, check out my 2011 Games I Played list)

If you are someone who read any of this...A) Like I said, I didn't get to play all the games that came out this year such as Skyrim, Skyward Sword and Resistance 3 and as you can tell by the lists above, I have some tastes in games that don't match "popular opinion," so you are probably going to completely disagree with my choices and think I'm crazy, but remember it's my own personal list...B) Damn you must be really bored and have absolutely nothing better to do, but thanks for reading anyways
