My top 10 games of 2011

Here's my top 10 games of 2011, with the caveat that I haven't played a few games that might have made the list if I had (Resistance 3, Saints Row 3, etc.) Battlefield 3 isn't on this list because I've only played about 45 minutes of the game (both single and multi-player)...I bought it, then got sidetracked immediately.

Showing 1-10 of 10 items

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

1. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

So far I've put in 30 plus hours and haven't even scratched the surface yet.

Portal 2

2. Portal 2

Absolutely Amazing!

Batman: Arkham City

3. Batman: Arkham City

I don't think it hit everything perfectly (why was Batman such a dick to Alfred?), but the game was a hell of a lot of fun to play.

Dead Space 2

4. Dead Space 2

I love love love this series. I can't wait to see what they do next with the franchise.

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

5. Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

I wanted to love this more than I did, but sadly I'm getting a little franchise fatigue at the moment.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

6. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

I thought the single player was okay, but I'm really enjoying the multi-player. I've played more than 10 hours of multi-player so far, which is about 9.5 hours more than I put in to any previous CoD multi-player.

Assassin's Creed: Revelations

7. Assassin's Creed: Revelations

One of my favorite franchises. I hope Ubisoft can find a way to keep it fresh though, as this hit my limit of what I can take from this series.

Gears of War 3

8. Gears of War 3

I was a little disappointed with this game, but again I think that comes down to franchise fatigue. In reality, I think I'm just getting tired of this generation of console games.

inFamous 2

9. inFamous 2

A much more refined game over the original. I can't wait to see what the developer has in store next.

L.A. Noire

10. L.A. Noire

This felt like it was made for me. The interrogation and clue finding mechanics were perfect for me. It was a shame that the over world felt unnecessary.
