Game of the Year 2011

Shogun, Skyrim, or L.A. Noire... hmmm.

I have a feeling that I will be ranted upon for this but Battlefield 3 is also a contender for me.

For me, Minecraft if we're counting it as a 2011 game, Witcher 2 otherwise.

Ooh that's a tough one! I guess I'm gonna with... oh, I don't know! Arkham City maybe? Yeah, I'll go with Arkham City.

Fuck them, it is a fantastic multi-player game.

At first I thought it would be The Witcher 2, but then Frozen Synapse came along.

For most of the year I thought it would be Frozen Synapse, I played it more than any other game, until Battlefield 3 launched.

I've played no other game since then, except X-Com on my netbook and that is only because my netbook can't play BF3. I've been seriously considering buying an Alienware m11x r3 for $2000 just to get a netbook that can play BF3. If I hadn't just spent $8000 on a car I would already have one.

The only other games that made a big impression on me this year were Portal 2 and Deus Ex: Human Resources both of which I thought were good but ultimately flawed experiences. Oh, and To the Moon, which made me cry.

It's a real toss up for me I would have to say either Starcraft 2 or Dota 2 Beta for the PC and 100% BF3 (multiplayer only, the single player was contrived and derivative)
