This is one of the few games that just got better as it went along. The last two hours were fucking great, and that ending! In just a few short years, Rocksteady has become one of my favorite developers.
Genuinely funny writing, a great story, and an even better ending makes this one of my favorite games this year. The puzzles aren't half bad either!
This is the sleeper hit of the year. I've never even played a Saints Row game before but couldn't resist this game's self aware humor, set pieces, and straight up entertaining gameplay. This is the most straight up fun I had with a game all year.
They finally told a story that made you care about these characters. Sure it took them three tries, but Gears of War 3 really surprised me. Kudos to Epic for making me actually care about these dude bros.
Thought by some to be a downgrade from Uncharted 2, Uncharted 3 still has some of the best graphics and set pieces than any other game in 2011.
Skyward Sword is pretty damn amazing. Intricate level design, beautiful art direction, and good motion controls gives the series a fresh feel.
This is a throwback in the best possible way. It's challenging, cheery, and straight up beautiful to look at. Love that soundtrack too!
This game caught me by surprise. A little bit Deus Ex 1, a lot of bit Metal Gear Solid, I had a great time overall with the game. DXHR beat out The Witcher 2 because TW2 somehow managed to have worse boss fights than Human Revolution.
Here's proof that you don't have to do the same generic stuff with the fantasy genre. TW2 delivers a great story in a game that you'll have to play twice to get everything out of it. Great stuff!
Giving Isaac a voice was the right decision for this series in my opinion. It helped me sympathize with Isaac and made for a better overall story. The game's action, tension, and awesome setpieces certainly helped its cause as well.
