While I don’t really have a formal list of my favorite games of 2011 ready yet (if ever), I did manage to keep a running list of the games I played that were released last year.
A few notes:
- I tried to be a little careful about not including something here if I only dicked around with it for a super short amount of time. That doesn’t mean I beat everything on this list, but I feel like I at least gave the game a fair shake.
- This list is sort of ranked by order of when I played them. That said, the ordering gets a little messy at the bottom as I tried to remember all the games I forgot to note.
- I’m definitely leaving off a bunch of little iPhone games I messed around with, but the heavy hitters worth mentioning get brought up.
- I did my gaming on a variety of the 360, PS3 and PC, with iOS and a tiny, tiny bit of Nintendo DS/3DS thrown in. The PSP collected dust all year long.
- That said, I’ll leave out what each game below was played on. I will say, though, I did a surprising amount of PC gaming this year and a few of these games got played on console and PC.
- Facebook games can blow me. I played a few of them, but I’m not fessing up to it here!
