Games from 2011 I played

Doing a summary of games I played in my back log spreadsheet, starting back in 2011. Doing this all from memory so, only commenting on the things that stood out the most for me.
Games played in 2011
 | 1. Limbo I enjoyed the platforming, the ending, and the length (it was a compact experience). |
 | 2. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Loved the story and play style of this game once I got past the fact that I was a dude who could murder hundreds of soldiers with ease. The long sequences of shooting dudes were my least favorite parts. I would reccommend anyone who likes video games to play this. |
 | 3. Heroes of Might and Magic V I am a big fan of this series. I sunk TONS of time into this game, played it for months. It is a very niche strategy game. I get the most satisfaction out of building a DOMINATING force and rolling through a map. The clash of heroes expansion (with the dwarfs) can be skipped, it wasn't any better than the core game (but it wasn't significantly worse either). |
 | 4. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Retribution The campaign was really short, but supports many playthroughs with the different races. I think I would have preferred a single campaign with space marines that was more fleshed out. I can see myself going back to this and playing campaign co-op with one of my brothers. Didn't really get into the multiplayer, had to move on to more games in the back log! |
 | 5. Punch-Out!! A great game if you like punch out. I cheated and looked at a FAQ for a few fights. Really easy game if you know how to counter each move. I might boot this up again soon, but its entirely skippable even if you are a punch out fan. |
 | 6. Portal 2 How can a game be this good and still over-hyped? The dialog and puzzles are clever and the gameplay is great. A must play for almost anyone, but temper your expectations below the "next coming of jesus" hype. |
 | 7. Heavy Rain Got this to play/watch over the holidays with brothers. This is an example of a game that would have been much better suited if it was half as long. I would have been much better off if it were more like the Walking Dead in gameplay. I don't think I will pick this up again, especially after I read all the outcome combinations in a FAQ. |
 | 8. Brütal Legend This game did not go the direction I thought it would when I started it. I loved the campaign. The RTS elements were neat, but I really wish it were 2 separate games, a hack-and-slash and an RTS. Rather than being both. |
