This rounds out the 2011 releases which I played through to completion or, in some cases, more than 50 hours. I wasn't able to put together a top 10 list - I only played enough of nine new games in 2011 - but this was a good year to be a video game fan. I bought Battlefield 3, Gears of War 3 and Dead Space 2 this year and haven't had a chance to spend more than an hour or two in any of them. I...
Yesterday I wrote about three of the games I played in 2011. Today I'll cover Skyrim, Trenched and Rage. Next on my list of games to write about are Portal 2, Dirt 3 and Renegade Ops.

It was the first game of its kind...

There's much about both these games that I loved and an equal amount that I loathed but the thing that stands out to me the most is that both have terrible bad guys. I'm going to put down some very mild spoilers here so if you actually...
I love everything about Bastion but holy damn that music is awesome. Maybe after I play through the New Game + I might write out my full thoughts on the game. Until then I'll just keep listening to "Build That Wall (Zia's Theme)" on repeat.
