Games I Enjoyed Playing This Year: 2011 Edition


Showing 1-10 of 64 items

Mario Kart DS

1. Mario Kart DS

For the longest time I thought the SNES version Mario Kart was the best. But then this game came along and proved me wrong. So very wrong.

Tetris Splash

2. Tetris Splash

If you ever needed a good argument for Tetris being the greatest video game of all time, keep in mind I bought this game when I first got my Xbox and every year I keep coming back to it. Without fail.

Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2

3. Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2

Deadline mode is crack for being between games.

OutRun Online Arcade

4. OutRun Online Arcade

Starting to understand all the years of Sega arcade love. Simple and I love it.

Hydro Thunder Hurricane

5. Hydro Thunder Hurricane

Honestly wanted to like this more than I did. I still enjoy bouncing around on waves though.

Pac-Man Championship Edition DX

6. Pac-Man Championship Edition DX

It's absolutely crazy that Pac-Man can keep getting reinvented and not suck. This is probably my favorite version now.

Dead Rising 2

7. Dead Rising 2

After beating the main story last year around it's release I found a lot of fun out of climbing to the tallest structure and jumping off trying to missile dropkick one zombie out of a large horde. It's a whole new game after that.

Limbo

8. Limbo

Another game from last year that I already completed but felt compelled to fire up again. People play up the atmosphere and rightfully so, but I keep coming back for the puzzles. Still love them.

Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing

9. Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing

This game is great for zoning out while listening to podcasts. Also a lot of variety in the mission mode. Love the Samba de Amigo tracks. Racing and music.

Trials HD

10. Trials HD

Probably my most played game of 2009 still creeps up from time to time. I'm probably nowhere near as good as I use to be at it but tackling the leaderboards is always fun. Also got a little deeper into creating tracks.
