Best of 2011 - So far

Alright. Despite my year of unemployment I managed to fill my 2010 list to the brim with favorite games.

So it's time to get started with this year!

Also this year I won't delete games when they end up under the top 10 edge.

Realized that was a bad move afterwards.

Showing 1-10 of 22 items

Batman: Arkham City

1. Batman: Arkham City

X360: There's no denying it: I'm Batman again and it is glorious.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution

2. Deus Ex: Human Revolution

PC: Now this was quite the treat. I loved it.

Bulletstorm

3. Bulletstorm

PC: An awesome shooter with really tight mechanics and a hilariously immature writing.

Star Wars: The Old Republic

4. Star Wars: The Old Republic

PC: This one came out of left field. I was surprised with just how much fun I'm having with it.

Portal 2

5. Portal 2

PC: One of the most insane endings in a game I've played. I love this game. So much heart and absurdity. Couldn't stop smiling while playing.

Assassin's Creed: Revelations

6. Assassin's Creed: Revelations

X360: This one genuinely surprised me. I expected a dragged out filler but got an adventure involving all three protagonists. Definitely the game I wish Brotherhood was.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

7. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

PC: A great game. A really great game. But just not my type of game, which is why it doesn't go higher. I understand why people love it, and I play a lot of it. But I just don't love it.

Saints Row: The Third

8. Saints Row: The Third

X360: A lot of fun, but falls short in the more linier mission structure, and less interesting characters.

Magicka

9. Magicka

PC: Simply amazing. The spell combinations are awesome and the voice acting and humor is hilarious.

L.A. Noire

10. L.A. Noire

X360: I loved this game. There's just not enough good cop games out there.
