Best of 2011
Honorable mentions: Skyrim (would have certainly made the list with more play time, but I just got it recently and have only invested about 6 hours so far), Gears 3 (enjoyed the gameplay more than any other installment in the franchise, but never really cared much for the franchise's narrative and prefer FPS to TPS for my multiplayer), Assassin's Creed Revelations (still a fan of the AC formula, but it's growing a bit stale after 3 years of annual installments) and Deus Ex: HR (A+ atmosphere and fun gameplay, but some flaws in story and graphics).
