My favorite games of 2011

Showing 1-10 of 10 items

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

1. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

This game is huge, I will be playing this for years to come and that is not something you can say about many single player games. The combat and UI has vastly improved from Oblivion, and the amount of things you can do is staggering, not mention this game is absolutely gorgeous. Oh and Dragons.

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings

2. The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

3. Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

Portal 2

4. Portal 2

Fantastic story, great puzzles, great co-op, and it is a Valve game. What did you expect?

Dark Souls

5. Dark Souls

This game is brutal. Perhaps the most satisfying game I have ever played. When you do well it is because you played well, when you do bad, you fucked up. It is like no other game on the market.

Battlefield 3

6. Battlefield 3

This game really surprised me. I always liked the series, but I did not think this game would do enough to make me play it again. BF3 has perhaps the best graphics I have ever seen, combined with the craziness of the 64 player battlefield setting and a great class/level up system, makes this a joy to play.

Minecraft

7. Minecraft

A game that essentially spawned a new genre. Very unique and endless possibilities.

Terraria

8. Terraria

Gears of War 3

9. Gears of War 3

Very refined, well made, still fun as hell.

StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty

10. StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty

Had to throw it on here, games is still amazing in 2011, can't get enough.
