Man. We are straight up milking this 2011 thing, huh? You’d think that we had nothing better to talk about for 2012 with the way we’re going back to that well. Don’t worry, we realize that we can only get a little bit more mileage out of last year, and probably only another week or two at that. That being said, the following question is one that I legitimately want to ask you guys, because I like hearing what you say about games.
The title for this post is extremely self explanatory. I want to see a list of all the games you played in 2011. This will be cool for two reasons: 1) It gives us an idea of what kinds of stories to target/write and 2) you guys are pretty cool yourselves.
What follows is a list of games that I played in 2011:
Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands
Dead Space 2
Minecraft
Gran Turismo 5
Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare
Enslaved
999
Call of Duty: Black Ops
Little Big Planet 2
Back to the Future: Episode 1
Dragon Age 2
Portal 2
L.A. Noire
Angry Birds
Game Dev Story
StarCraft II
Bastion
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Gears of War 3
Halo: Anniversary
Uncharted 3
Skyrim
Assassin’s Creed: Revelations
Now, keep in mind that I didn’t finish all of these games, but I finished most of them. And as an aside, I’m also going to brag about how I played all of those games while spending less than $120 in actual money (and that’s including games that I’ve bought but haven’t played yet like Saint’s Row 3, Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3). I might do another post about that later, though.
