Wow, I was hoping for a little more diversity in the choices here, akin to their movies of the year choices. I guess they only play the games that are sent to them to review as Geoff mentioned, mainly American developed "popular" games.
@RolandDeschain1 Witcher 2 is definitely my game of the year 2011 (and one of the best games I have ever played). Here in Finland it was actually chosen #2 by our leading game magazine. It definitely deserves more attention. A brilliant, brilliant game.
1 . Skyrim, 2 Outland. 3. Halo: Reach (i think its technically 2010 but it is the game I played most of in 2011) 4. Shadow Twisted (something) Planet- like Outland with flying saucer 5. i really couldn't afford any other games sooo i have to say GTA IV cuz I had to buy it again
I love Skyrim. Skyrim is a superb game. I just can't see it being game of the year. It is unfinished and is still broken 5 weeks out. Portal 2 is just so flawless.
@Ristyo1992 no, i love all those games, (except dark souls, cuz i never pleayed it) but the biggest underdogs were, infamous 2, resistance 3 and littlebigplanet 2
@kennbuje Its the type of game i like thats way i put it and the witcher 2 on the top and u get a lot of gameplay out of it if ur thinking about getting it watch a few videos of it to see if u like it or not.
@2nd3rd1st They play a lot of games, just because they didn't make the list doesn't mean they didn't play them. Truth is not many indie games can compete against AAA. You don't give games a position at the top just because it's in a different category either, they aren't grading with handicaps.
I can't take this list serious. Except for Bastion they naturally played only the biggest and AAA releases, missing all the great smaller games, so naturally this can't be a fair list or even a representative list. None of any of the Top X lists out there are for this reason. And just to say "I liked this for personal an completely ambiguous reasons" is not a statement that deserves public display. In my opinion...
@Nitrozzy7 It does have best graphics. Multiplayer and fun is subjective (though it is an awesome multiplayer). Face it, its subjective. If these 3 loved FPSes, they probably would have BF3
@Nitrozzy7 If you dont care about military shooters too much, why would you put it in the top selections? There are plenty of other more creative games that deserve that spot. Hell, Bastion, an indie game, deserves to be in the top 5 more.
@Nitrozzy7 There were games this year that were way better than both of them. I like MW3 and Battlefield 3 but I don't think they are the best games of the year. 1.) Uncharted 3 2.) Skyrim 3.) Zelda Skyward Sword 4.) Batman Arkham City 5.) Portal 2
how could anyone be disappointed by modern warfare 3? Who among us didn't know it would be complete crap? by the way i love uncharted 3, killzone 3 and battlefield 3
there really is no game someone shouldn't like, everyone has different feels for games, for example skyrim and minecraft is mainly rpg games and uncharted 3 and portal 2 is mainly storyline games so really there is no game someone shouldn't play :P
dude BF3 is an awesome game but is not a game that revolutionize gaming is just like any other Shooter out there like Cod the only difference between them is that Cod is a Copy and Paste every year, and Battlefield is an Open world type but in the end they are both military shooters very generic, sorry to say that, i'm not trying to insult you, but you see games like Skyrim, Portal, Uncharted are games that goes beyond gaming they become ART.
you know your internet is crappy when the ads wont even load.
Bastion made all of the lists? And was close to being their number one game?
My faith is starting to be restored in these people.
im thinking about getting a wii just for skyward sword but question lol, can u se gamecube controller with it?!?!?!?!
Haha, love Jeff. He wore a suit because it's raddie award week.
The Witcher 2, Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Drark Souls definitely the biggest underdogs this year
Wow, I was hoping for a little more diversity in the choices here, akin to their movies of the year choices. I guess they only play the games that are sent to them to review as Geoff mentioned, mainly American developed "popular" games.
Interesting that the witcher 2 wasn't on any of your lists after the rave reviews you guys gave it.
@epicguys101 as you get further into the game of skyrim it starts getting laggier and laggier until it's unplayable

@coltsfan354 Bulletstorm ? I don't think we played the same game.
@RolandDeschain1
Witcher 2 is definitely my game of the year 2011 (and one of the best games I have ever played). Here in Finland it was actually chosen #2 by our leading game magazine. It definitely deserves more attention. A brilliant, brilliant game.
great show guys
@castrici it really is broken, no patches yet to fix it in the near future either -.-
Good lists but I have put over 30 hours into skyrim on my ps3 and its perfectly smooth and the biggest problem i had was it crashing twice O_o
1 . Skyrim,
2 Outland.
3. Halo: Reach (i think its technically 2010 but it is the game I played most of in 2011)
4. Shadow Twisted (something) Planet- like Outland with flying saucer
5. i really couldn't afford any other games sooo i have to say GTA IV cuz I had to buy it again
Alex falls asleep for a bit there 2:26-2:35.
I love Skyrim. Skyrim is a superb game. I just can't see it being game of the year. It is unfinished and is still broken 5 weeks out. Portal 2 is just so flawless.
1.Skyrim
2.StarWars
3.Zelda
4.Assassins Creed
5. idk... lol
@thedoc277 It was rather thin on most fronts, but the story was good, and the mechanics were fresh enough to keep me interested.
@castrici
I have been playing Skyrim on PS3 for 70+ hours now and it is somewhat buggy... but NOT broken!
How old are you?
I was lucky to find out about Portal 2 it is now my favorite game.
wow i seriously thought dan #1 would be the witcher 2
I have Skyrim for PS3 and there is no problem.
Poor Jeff, nothing happened for him in 2011. :(
Uncharted 3 and Mario kart 7 came close for me.
Glad to see some Skyward Sword love!
@mrkarifaman Well he did say he hasn't finished it yet.
Skyward Sword is my GOTY. Portal 2 and Skyrim are VERY close 2nd and 3rd.
@Ristyo1992 no, i love all those games, (except dark souls, cuz i never pleayed it) but the biggest underdogs were, infamous 2, resistance 3 and littlebigplanet 2
@Nitrozzy7 I'm sure you are.
is skyrim really broken on ps3? i was about to buy it tomorrow. :( if it really is then i thank you jeff, you just saved me 60
@kennbuje Its the type of game i like thats way i put it and the witcher 2 on the top and u get a lot of gameplay out of it if ur thinking about getting it watch a few videos of it to see if u like it or not.
How come no list includes The Witcher 2, other than AngryJoe?
hey i wanna win a Raddy!
1. Skyrim
2. Deus Ex
3. Portal 2
4. LA Noire
5. whatever.
@2nd3rd1st They play a lot of games, just because they didn't make the list doesn't mean they didn't play them. Truth is not many indie games can compete against AAA. You don't give games a position at the top just because it's in a different category either, they aren't grading with handicaps.
ok why have 3 lists if their all the same -_-
They picked the right game for GOTY
The whole idea of a top five is that you only talk about your top 5.... Not why something didn't make it into the top 5.
I can't take this list serious. Except for Bastion they naturally played only the biggest and AAA releases, missing all the great smaller games, so naturally this can't be a fair list or even a representative list. None of any of the Top X lists out there are for this reason. And just to say "I liked this for personal an completely ambiguous reasons" is not a statement that deserves public display.
In my opinion...
he is..
'the most beautiful zelda ever made..' sorry that title belongs to wind waker
My PS3 Skyrim wasn't broken... still isn't.
i kinda agree to most of that
If you count remakes, which I'm sure no one does my #1 is ocarina of time 3d
DID HE HONESTLY PUT UNCHARTED 3 AT 6?
Thank you Sooooooo much for NOT putting on call of duty MW3!!!
you are totaly right! XD
@Ristyo1992 "Drark souls" ? never heard of it... maybe i should buy it...
@Nitrozzy7 It does have best graphics. Multiplayer and fun is subjective (though it is an awesome multiplayer). Face it, its subjective. If these 3 loved FPSes, they probably would have BF3
Infamous 2 should be in the list
Xbox gets all cool things, mods on skyrim, minecraft. And ps3 gets an amazing game that doesnt work
I own Skyrim on PS3 and it works fine
HELL YEAH!
I wanted to hear about Jeff's year. :-/
Bastion is a good game, but it is not in the same level of the other games. What about the Witcher?!
I dont like how you dont finish the games before reviewing them -_-
@Nitrozzy7 If you dont care about military shooters too much, why would you put it in the top selections? There are plenty of other more creative games that deserve that spot. Hell, Bastion, an indie game, deserves to be in the top 5 more.
dark souls? catherine? deus ex human revolution? everyone has a opinion but come on
@Nitrozzy7 There were games this year that were way better than both of them. I like MW3 and Battlefield 3 but I don't think they are the best games of the year.
1.) Uncharted 3
2.) Skyrim
3.) Zelda Skyward Sword
4.) Batman Arkham City
5.) Portal 2
@Nitrozzy7 I lol'd. I'm far from a Skyrim fanboy, child, though I doubt you'd know that.
how could anyone be disappointed by modern warfare 3? Who among us didn't know it would be complete crap? by the way i love uncharted 3, killzone 3 and battlefield 3
No love for 'ANGRY BIRDS'???
there really is no game someone shouldn't like, everyone has different feels for games, for example skyrim and minecraft is mainly rpg games and uncharted 3 and portal 2 is mainly storyline games so really there is no game someone shouldn't play :P
Come on man, Arkham City ftw!! :c
No Witcher 2?
thank you alot for no bf3
anyone of these actually played the witcher 2?
No Saints Row 3? what is this?
dude in the center relax.
Portal 2 IS the real goty :)
wait why is star wars alex's best game of 2011...i though he hated open world games!!!!!!!
@epicguys101 From a kids point of view? All those games are so not appropriate for anyone under 14! For a teen it's a good list though.
@innius1999 Call of duty modern warfare 3 was the biggest dissapointment
of 2011
Why doesn't anyone like resistance 3
Good morning TRS
my fav game of 2011 was BF3
Seriously for me Skyrim to me is over rated to me. I have enough to buy it but I just kinda don't want. I'll wait.
@Nitrozzy7 BF3 does not deserve to be in top 5, neither is MW3
bf3?
dude BF3 is an awesome game but is not a game that revolutionize gaming is just like any other Shooter out there like Cod the only difference between them is that Cod is a Copy and Paste every year, and Battlefield is an Open world type but in the end they are both military shooters very generic, sorry to say that, i'm not trying to insult you, but you see games like Skyrim, Portal, Uncharted are games that goes beyond gaming they become ART.
SKYRIM NUMBA 1 graphics r mint
no bf3!!!???
