Games Played 2011
This is a record of the games I've played in 2011.
Games I've completed are marked [COMPLETED] along with the date of completion. Pretty clever.

[COMPLETED] 14 June 2011.
I found this engaging to begin with, but after the first 6 or 7 hours it became a bit of a slog to be honest. It did pick up towards the end though thankfully. I'm in two minds about the ending - it certainly didn't end of a high though.
-
Picked this up a few weeks ago. I've only put in around 30 minutes so far. Looks good though.
-
I'm currently towards the end of the 2nd chapter in this game. In the White House. Need to finish this sometime. Military shooters = yawn (for the most part). I find the gameplay too frantic and none-stop. Need some downtime between fire fights. Maybe I'm just getting old.
I have zero interest in the multi-player.
-
I must played about 2 hours of this total. I really wanted to like this game - I've probably enjoyed it the most out of fighting games I've played in recent years. Street Fighter 4 and Soul Calibre 4. Fighting games just aren't for me. I thought the single player campaign mode was pretty cool though. Ebayed.
-
Played a good 5 or 6 hours of the beta. It is an excellent RTS - though what I played was very easy - no real challenge. I quite like the hub system and I love the graphical style. I thought this was going to hold my interest long term - but somehow I tired of it pretty quick.
-
I play this off and on. Last time I played it was get nice and familiar with the Belgian Spa circuit - where I'm off to watch the real thing in August. Woot!
-
I picked this up for £12 in the supermarket. I enjoyed the combat for quite a while. I never reached the point where people say it opens up though. I got about 15 hours in before it lost my interest.
-
I got this plus the DLC episodes during the Christmas Steam deal. I've played a hour or two of the motorcycle episode (don't remember the name). I mean to come back to this....one day. Maybe when GTA V gets announced that will bring my interest back.
-
I picked this up really cheap during the Steam Christmas sale. £3.49 or something like that. I've played a few hours and it's good - but there were quite a few other games I picked up at the time and this one I didn't follow through. Mean to pick it up again though sometime.
-
This was a blast for a couple of hours. Another game picked up cheap on Steam. Simple unsophisticated fun.
-
I levelled my main up to 85 over the Christmas break. I then rolled a rogue to around lvl35. I've played WoW on and off since 2005. I think maybe I have dropped it for good now. Haven't played since April. We'll see.
-update July 4 2011 - re-subbed and rolled a goblin! currently lvl13.
-
Played on PC. Pretty average shooter tbh. I'n about 7 hours in I'd say. I mean to go back but it's hardly compelling.
-
I've only really played the single player and haven't quite finished that. Another one for the 'mean to finish' pile.
-
Really enjoyed this racer. More than the critics did I feel. I think this game appeals more to a European audience more than American purely because of the racing classes. I've got pretty far - up to the full on FIA GT races. This is the game I will be playing for some time to come whenever I get that racing itch.
-
I played a few hours of this in May after completing Portal 2, just for some Valve nostalgia. It's showing it's age pretty badly now. I loved it back in the day though.
-
[COMPLETED] 27 April 2011. This is obviously a great game. Some of the puzzle made my brain physical hurt though, and I don't deny feeling like I just wanted to shoot something at times. Contender for best ending in a video game ever.
-
I played this solidly for about 2 weeks over Christmas and the new year. I really love the idea of Eve. The one, huge open world. The whole of space there to explore. It's an MMO, but a completely different experience to something like WoW. I really should give it another bash. The trouble with MMO's though, is if I'm going to play them, I have to do it at the exclusivity of all other games - and I just love other games too much!
-
[COMPLETED] 15 March 2011. I was hyped for this before it came out but was put off by the reviews. I finally picked it up in March when it was dirt cheap on Steam. Once I started I couldn't put this down. I loved it. I don't know what it got such a bad wrap. Sure all the driving got boring after a while, but I loved the story and the way it was so focused and linear. Plus I didn't care whether it was open-world or not. Just a cool story and fun gameplay.
-
[COMPLETED] 24 June 2011. I will enjoyed this relatively shallow hack 'n' slash while it lasted. I played as the melee warrior class with the 'fire girl' as my npc co-op buddy. I have an intention to play through it again as the ranged gun character if I ever find the time.
-
I finally went and picked up a copy of Minecraft. I played the beta version 1.7.0. This is a unique game. For a couple of days there I was hooked. It was fascinating to dig down to the lowest point in the map, discover and explore underground caves, and build a portal to the 'nether'. The game does lack objectives though. I look forward to further updates that promise to add npc villages and quests. The creative 'build' mode doesn't appeal to me though.
-
I picked this up from Steam for £4.99. Can't wait to get stuck in.
