Whats your best and worst games for 2011?

G Day All,

Well I don't know about you guy's but 2011 flew by for me, I was just thinking what games I enjoyed the most and ones I didn't for 2011 and would be interested to see if any other members had best and worst games in common any way here are mine,

Worst Game for 2011

Homefront, a complete waist of money. The sp lasted a whole 5hrs it could have been so much better but they just failed and the mp element fails even more.

(Was going to put gaycraft...cough sorry Minecraft but as I have not played the official version I didn't think it would be fair)


Best Game for 2011

This was a really hard decision and even though its a game that I don't have that many hr's clocked up on it, the one I enjoyed the most is Dues Ex.

And an Honorable mention goes to Arma2 OA even though it came out in 2010 so far I still have more hr's clocked in that for 2011 than any other game.

So whats your Best and Worst game for 2011?

Best Game = Minecraft hands down

Worst Game = Deus Ex for me. Mainly graphically and not quite enough freedom/other stuff to do as i would have hoped. I did do some hours on it. But still have to feel a bit annoyed i think it could have been spectacular.Biggest console port of the year award !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh wow - great thread arise! so many memories!

ok .. the 'BAD' first - see how i put that in CAPS and quotes ...

Duke Nukem Forever .. this game was ... wow .. just don't get me started ... really .. just don't

Best - ok thats tougher

down to 2 (and a 1/2)

the half - Batman: Arkham City - at any other time this is a rocket to the top of the list .. 'dark', atmospheric, kick-ass - all the right checkboxes ..

but .. in the same year as

Skyrim - just too big to quantify - so big, so sandboxish, so pretty, so much to do, so many to lie to/swindle/kill - what's not to like!!

SW:ToR - been waiting for this FOR EVER - it hardly classifies as a 2011 game, given how late the release is but there ya go .. officially -- 2011.

hmm - special mention for arma2:oa - not the 'best' game ive played in 2011, but taking into account the hours i've racked up it's certainly there there in the top 3. this game is pretty meh solo, but with mates, it's a gem - bring on arma3

How did i forget PORTAL 2. I think that takes the best game award for me to be honest. Enjoyed it in every way. piss off minecraft. PORTAL 2 BEST GAME FOR ME EASILY DOH!!!!! what was i thinking

Yeah I didn't mention Skyrim although it certainly is up there with the best of the best but as I only just have bought it and I reckon I'm going to get an easy 200 odd hrs out of single player and still be playing it mid next year lol so it can have an honorable mention on next years for me.

I could go on an on about the games I've played and whole new genres and all the games I've bought and not played, but cant wait to, but I wont do here. All in all a great year for gaming

So...

My best game that I have played this year, not released this year.

I know it goes against the whole idea of choosing one, but I cant pick between Fallout: New Vegas, Empire Total War, DIRT 2 and ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead. Their all vastly different from each other, and vastly different from all the games played before getting onto those types of games. They are all great for their own very different reasons, but have all sucked up huge amounts of my time.

Worst game played this year.

Homefront. Its really not a "bad" game, sure, as far as FPS go, its more of the same, what it did, it did well. But what it didn't do, it could have done brilliantly. The intro set it up to be a brilliant, dark, gritty story, but what followed was just a big... MEH. Not bad I guess, just disappointing (insert your own joke here)

Best game of 2011.

Portal 2. So much fun, backed up by a great story, and its not just the story that sets it apart, but how its told and how it unfolds. I dont love many games, but this one I do.

Worst game of 2011.

Homefont. See above. So disappointing
