Best of 2011
Honourable mentions that I haven't played enough to feel comfortable putting on this list. The Witcher 2, Skyward Sword, Dota 2, Serious Sam 3: BFE, Assassin's Creed Revelations, Batman: Arkham City and Mortal Kombat.
What a year!
List items
-
This game is not for everyone, however, this game is for me.
-
Some pacing issues, less than stellar boss fights and a relatively weak ending stop this one from being #1, but holy shit is this game good.
-
Calling my homie on my smartphone to deliver a VTOL to me, flying said VTOL above my destination, diving out, not opening my parachute at all and walking away.
Such is life on the Row.
-
Be advised, enemy flashlight spotted, over.
The Back to Karkand maps make this game complete, and easily the shooter of the year.
-
I'd rate it higher if it weren't so damn embarrassing to have on my shelf.
-
The part in co-op where you realise you have to bounce off eachother in mid-air is quite possibly my moment of the year.
-
A solid and surprisingly complete end to the franchise, amazingly constructed campaign, improved co-op, horde & beast mode and the best iteration of Gears multiplayer to date. Oh, and fucking Thrashball.
-
I'm sure I'd rate this higher if I could just find the free time to play this one some more, 40 hours in and I feel I've done nothing, joy!
-
FUCK YOU, AND FUCK YOUR MARKER.
-
Only played this in the very last week of 2011, I get why everyone raves about this game now, holy shit.
