Brian's Top 10 Games of 2011

Showing 1-10 of 10 items

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

1. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

What can I say. This is my kind of game through and through. I thought the graphics could have been better but I LOVE going out and questing. Really liked the level up system as well.

Red Dead Redemption

2. Red Dead Redemption

This game was deserves the #2 because of the story, gameplay, and graphics. It's been a long time since I was so enamored with a game.

Halo: Reach

3. Halo: Reach

Beat this on Legendary, solo. Loved the gameplay and story. Played a little bit of multiplayer but didn't get into it like I did with Halo 3.

God of War III

4. God of War III

Played God of War, God of War 2, and God of War 3 all in a couple months. The scope of God of War 3 was amazing. They really refined the puzzles to make them more accessible in this one, which I appreciate since I was really just playing for the story.

The Witcher

5. The Witcher

I invested a significant amount of time into The Witcher and finally beat it. I love how it has important decisions for you to make, but there are consequences for either choice. I thought the gameplay could have been better, but overall, loved the world in which I played.

6. Alan Wake

The story and graphics were amazing. The combat was decent but not super satisfying. Still, as an entire package, this game was excellent. Really enjoyed the ending!

Resident Evil 5

7. Resident Evil 5

Played this during the fall and really enjoyed it. I may be 2 1/2 years late to the party but at least I can clear this off my backlog.

Kirby's Epic Yarn

8. Kirby's Epic Yarn

Beat this co-op with my wife. I really looked forward to the time we came together to play this during the summer. It always made me happy to play and offered just enough challenge to keep us interested all the way to the end.

Limbo

9. Limbo

Child of Eden
