What is your 2011 GOTY ?

[Ruud]

wow, i have to say, what a memorable year for the gaming industry. This is also undoubtedly the best year of my life
We have tons of awesome games coming out, lots of them are the 3rd ones in the franchise (Gears, MW, Battlefield, Saints Row), tons of HD remastered collection that i can't wait to get my hands on (ICO collection, MGS collection) and some fantastic game on PC, which are rare nowadays (Witcher 2, Batman + Physx).

I'm playing Battlefield 3 since it came out on October 25th, just deleted MW3 after complete spec ops mode, uninstalled LA Noire because it's great but freaking long, downloaded Saints Row 3, still playing Uncharted 3 multi + co-op and haven't touched the oscar-nominated campaign, bought Shadow of the Collosus HD Collection and MGS HD Collection on ebay, also bought the motion plus for wii remote to play Zelda Skyward Sword on PC and now waiting for delivery.
HOLY SHIT, i feel so high thanks to the fact that having a job helps reducing my gaming time, it'll take me forever to finish these games. Sweet
More games will come out in January and February, but sadly most of them will only be available on console (FFXIII-2=shit, Neverdead, Darkness 2, Inversion, Twisted Metal)

also, should you buy a PS Vita ? no, plz don't. Sony has a habit of releasing better, smaller and cheaper console - handheld long after the original came out and you won't do yourself any good buying the first product. Maybe 6 months later people can hack the Vita, who knows

OK, so here's gametrailers Game of the year, i think it's a pretty good choice.

For me, my top 10 are:
10. Skyrim: oops, didn't play much of Skyrim, so ...
9. LA Noire: best voice acting ever.
8. Shadow of the Collosus in HD: those collosus scare the shit out of me in SD, so i don't know what stuff will come out when i play in HD 60 fps
7. Deus Ex Human Revolution: best Man in Black imitation
6. Zelda Skyward Sword: best use of motion control to date. You won't see any difference unless you play it yourself
5. Battlefield 3: best multiplayer i've ever played
4. Portal 2: makes you feel good about yourself after completing this game
3. Metal Gear Solid HD Collection: 3 masterpieces in 1 disc and it costs 50 bucks ??? man, if you're not buying this collection, you're the stupidest man on earth i bought it, so i'm not
2. Batman Arkham City: i'm freaking BATMAN, bitch
1. Uncharted 3: what, no one sees this coming ? Nathan Drake barely beats Batman thanks to the co-op and multiplayer

so what are your choices for best games of this year ?

Most of my GOTY are JP ones (for PSP and NDS).
I don't have enough condition to buy next-gens now (maybe 1 yr later), so...

^ Keep waiting then ~ not sure if Diablo 3 will be out before the end of the world in 2012

[Ruud]

Diablo 3 will come out, and Earth is gonna explode right after you install it in your hard drive
but honestly, i think 2012 will be Star Craft 2 and Diablo 3 will come out in 2013
oh well, you guys will probably play Skyrim for the rest of your life so other games won't matter that much

[kan san]

I'll play Diablo 3 for the rest of mah life, ofc ...
