A list of the games that I enjoyed in 2011. The list only includes games I played during the year, and not the year they were released. Note there are some major titles that I have yet to play, such as ‘Dark Souls’, ‘Uncharted 3’
The Elder Scrolls V:Skyrim : Thankfully I choose the Xbox360 version, I just love being in this world. The scale, scope and detail of this game is just remarkable. I see myself playing this for yrs
Bastion was strange, I first tried it mid-year for about 2 hrs. Thought it was good, but just didn’t bother going back to it. With all the end of year talk I thought I should have another go. I completed Crysis2 late one night and thought, i can give bastion a go. It got hold of me, and I ended playing it all through, only finishing at 3:30am in the morning on a work day :)
Loved the weapon levelling and the gameplay. People focus on the narration (which is good) but the strongest part of this game is its awesome gameplay
Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure: 2011 was the year I introduced my son to the StarWars Movies, apart from that awesome moment. The many hrs I played Skylanders with him was so bloody awesome, the game is solid and has great levelling mechanics with some awesome weapon upgrades. My son and I had a blast, we spent the day after boxing day desperately running around town looking for more characters. A great game for kids and adults alike
Side note, son completed it. The PC game you get for free is fun, My fav char = Trigger Happy
Singularity : Loved the story and gunplay, feels old skoolish, but in a good way. Raven delivered an engrossing single player FPS, solid gameplay loved the story and gunplay, feels old skoolish in a good way. Didn’t feel as bland as many of the current shooters. Raven delivered an engrossing single-player FPS, with solid gameplay that is consistent throughout. No real mega high-spots, but kept me interested and wanting more always.
I wish more FPS would be like this, as it doesn’t seem like they designed it by focus groups. But by the developers :)
