Best of 2011

Well, a new year is passing by and time to look back at the games I played this year. Just like last year I played many games from recent years and not that many released in 2011. So my list is going to be surprising since I didn't got to play alot of the years best but nevertheless I'm going to put together this list.

But before I start my list, I want to name some of the games I will play in the next year because I didn't got to play them this year. Dead Space 2, Batman Arkham City, Battlefield 3, Saints Row: The Third, Bastion, Rayman Origins, Sonic Generations and Mortal Kombat.

UPDATE! Found 2 more games I did play that were released in 2011 and since my list included 2 remixes of older games I decided to update my list a little bit.

List items

  • No shocker here, Naughty Dog has done it again. Their games are always something I don't want to miss out on. The Uncharted series is the best thing they have done and they are always making it better. Uncharted 3 is the best game in the series, although it's not much better than 2, it expands on the great things the earlier games have done right. Uncharted 3 is a technical achievement that any gamer will appreciate. I just wonder how many times I will complete the single player campaign, because it's something I want to enjoy again and again. And the multiplayer is extremely good too. You can't go wrong with Uncharted 3 and it's my pick as the best game of the year!

  • Sports games are not often game of the year material but this year EA Sports did so many great things with FIFA 12. FIFA 11 was a very good game and I had my doubts on how they could get FIFA 12 to be better than 11. By completely revolutionalizing the defending and giving the player more ball control they made FIFA 12 amazing. Even though you don't enjoy football in the real life you can enjoy FIFA 12. The game is so deep gameplay wise that you are constantly learning new things to do. And by adding the online league season they have made the online experience just fantastic!

  • The original Portal is something that every gamer should have played, amazing game that does alot of fantastic things with it's gameplay. Portal 2 does everything that the original did and adds some great new stuff that expands the concept. Portal 2 is just a great experience that everybody even non gamers will like. Non gamers will have alot of fun just watching a player trying to get through those clever puzzles. Just play it already!

  • I'm not the biggest fan of first person shooters but there is something to the Killzone series that wows me. Killzone 3 is the best in the series and just a fantastic experience. The game looks amazing, it plays just like you want it to and the whole concept of the game is awesome. The story itself isn't groundbreaking but this is a game where the gameplay is the main thing. Pick up Killzone 3 even though if you're not the biggest FPS fan, the game is alot of fun.

  • Rockstar is my favourite developer along with Naughty Dog so I followed L.A. Noire for a long time. Even though Rockstar didn't develope the game you feel like you are playing a game from Rockstar. The game starts out great and had some moments that were just awesome. But L.A. Noire gets very repetitive along the way and loses it's charm. But even though the game doesn't hold up through all of the story, you should give this game a chance. There is nothing like this on the market and it has some great moments.

  • I have played alot of MotorStorm, I have played all of the games in the series but the original has always been my favourite, until Apocalypse was released. MotorStorm: Apocalypse is just fantastic. The game does so many things right and quite often you will just have to stop and enjoy all of the chaos that goes around in the game. How the race track will change between laps because of earthquakes and total destruction is just great! Please pick this game up, you won't be dissapointed, and we need to support this series!

  • I love this game, just simply put. For a game that only required one button to play the Impossible Game is just brilliant. The level design is just amazing and I respect the creator alot for having the balls to create such a challenging game. The Impossible Game has the right name, it's almost impossible to beat but nevertheless it's great fun and one of my favourite games this year. (Wasn't on my list originally but was added after I figured out it was a 2011 release)

  • Outland is a very beautifull game, some things are done very well and the experience is good fun. But I have to admit that I was hoping for something little bit better. The polarity switch is a really cool idea but I would have liked to see them use it in more ways than they did. But I liked this game alot and Outland is a fantastic game to play in between the bigger releases. And it's so great to see the love that 2D platformers are getting for the last few years, loving it!

  • I loved Super Meat Boy so I was pretty interested when I heard about The Binding of Isaac. It's nothing like Super Meat Boy but still you know it's from the same guys who made Meat Boy because of it's artwork. Binding of Isaac is a very strange game but if you give it a chance you'll definitely sink some hours into it. Really can't go wrong with this one and it's really cheap. (Wasn't on my list originally but was added after I figured out it was a 2011 release)

  • Shocker! Only played 10 games released this year so Duke makes the list. Duke Nukem Forever is a strange game, it's definitely not great and you have to have alot of love for older games and for Duke himself to enjoy it. I did enjoy some parts of the game but there are so many horrible boring parts you have to go through to get to some good stuff, just give this game a shot if you find this game cheap and you can enjoy old games still today.

  • I played the original PSP God of War games on the PSP and loved them, especially Chains of Olympus since it was my first God of War experience. This HD release of those 2 PSP games is just great! The games look pretty good and the framerate is rock solid. Both games are really good and if you haven't played these games in the past you should pick this collection up. Great bundle of games and just more God of War fun! (Decided to put this collection lower on the list since these aren't games from 2011 but nevertheless a great buy)

  • I'm a huge Tekken fan and Tekken Tag Tournament is one of my favourite games. Tekken 6 was a huge dissapointment for me but after having tried Tekken Tag 2 Prologue I'm confident that the series is coming back strong. Tekken Hybrid is a great bundle for Tekken fans and a good way to enter the series. Alot of different fighters available and it's very easy to pick up and play. And the original Tekken Tag looks very good in HD! (Decided to put this collection lower on the list since TTT1 isn't a 2011 release and TTT:Prologue isn't a complete game, but nevertheless a great buy)
