In 2011 we saw an awesome library of games, but there were some that left a lasting impression on us and most gamers. These games have been thoroughly looked at and we couldn’t of been more happy to bring you our list of the top ten games of 2011. We also want to pay some respect to the studios behind these masterpieces, because without them these games would not be possible at all. This list should also help for late Christmas shopping for the gamers in your life.

Top Adventure

For those of you that didn’t get a chance to play L.A. Noire well the what are you waiting for? In all seriousness, L.A. Noire is probably one of the best looking multi-platform next-gen games out there. The people at Team Bondi created a 1940′s Los Angeles that looks great and has an exciting storyline. In case you didn’t know, L.A. Noire comes from the same mind behind  The Getaway and that game exceeded the expectations back in the days of the PS2.

Top Role Playing Game

We would like to extend our thanks to the cool people at Bethesda Softworks for bringing in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. What makes Skyrim special is that once you start playing it you will probably not want to put it down, which means that the replay value exceeds anything out there right now. And just the fact that you get to fight dragons in this game makes it all worth it.

Top Fighting Game

A game that came back with a vengeance was Mortal Kombat 9, which brought an incredible storyline and to make things interesting the multiplayer was awesome. For me it was a great experience do to the fact that I stopped playing the Mortal Kombat series for a while. If you do not have this game then this is a must for anyone that likes fighting games in general.

Top Music Game

Whether you like to admit it or not, Just Dance 3 is probably one of the most fun games out there on the Wii. With tons of tracks that will satisfy whole family you have a game that has a variety of popular pop culture songs. Kids and adults love it due to the variety of tracks available and overall it’s a game that never gets old.

Top War Game

It was a very tough decision to pick from Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3, but we have to give credit to Electronic Arts and Dice for bringing Battlefield back. What makes this game stand out is the ability to let you hop in a fighter jet, tank or any of it’s many vehicles. You can also be a sniper in this game and that makes it really enjoyable as there is something for everybody.

Top PS3 Game

Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception is probably one of the best games to play from 2012. As the third installment of the series the game exceeded expectations and it shows the true power of the Playstation 3. We would like to thank Sony and the awesome people over at Naughty Dog for bringing this game back and we look forward to more Uncharted games.

Top Wii Game

We have to give credit to Nintendo for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. This is probably one of the best Zelda games ever made and using Wii Motion Plus makes the game more enjoyable. In the end The Legend of Zelda is really for the fans of the series and there are many.

Top XBOX 360 Game

If you follow the Gears of War series you were probably anticipating the release of Gears 3. In case you were wondering this third person shooter uses one of the best cover systems out. Overall a great story and really enjoyable to play. Unfortunately, Gears 3 is not available on the Playstation 3  and it’s exclusive to the XBOX 360.

Top Super Hero Game

Batman Arkham City is one of the best super hero games out there and only those that have yet to play it will disagree. With this game it just feels great to control Batman and combining the fighting  mechanics with stealth you have a game that is addicting and overall great for Batman fans worldwide.

Top Sports Game

For you sports fans out there our pick for this year’s top sports game goes to Madden NFL 12. Developed by the talented folks over at EA Tiburon you have a game that can be enjoyed by every one in almost every platform available. Madden NFL 12 has added about 25 new plays, which makes the game better than it’s predecessor Madden NFL 12.

It seems like Activision is going to milk the cow until the very end with Black Ops as there is new info out there that sort of suggests DLC in the future. Now this Downloadable content may probably be for the upcoming Modern Warfare 3, there are chances of it being for Black Ops. The image below shows five different maps on it and it seems like Gamestop will be a part of getting you that DLC. The maps are named Hangar 18, Hazard, Drive In, Silo and a Zombie one. Unless Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is going to have downloadable content and are going to include zombies this DLC has to be for Black Ops.

[Digital Warfare 247]

There were many rumors going around on what would be next for this awesome franchise. It looks like the folks over at Activision have finally released some information as to what’s next for Call of Duty and Modern Warfare 3 is the upcoming game. As far as developer there is no information on who is developing this game, but chances are that is Treyarch, but then again it could be Infinity Ward, who did Modern Warfare 2 and 1.

Below you can see the official Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

Battlefield 3 is going to be badass and to prove this to you guys I have an awesome gameplay video trailer that takes you into the single player campaign of Battlefield 3. Remembering the days of Strike At Karkland just brings that nostalgia that we all love. One thing about Battlefield were the mods that became available like Desert Combat and others that added a free perk to playing this game while we waited for Battlefield 2. Now with Battlefield 3 god only knows what the possibilities are especially for PC gamers.

Anyways check out the trailer below!

We are here today to review the new first person shooter Medal of Honor, which many believe that it will be a competitor to Modern Warfare and Black Ops and to some degree it is. Based on the War in Afghanistan, you play many different missions around the mountain region of a nation in turmoil. Taking place in 2002 right after September 11 this game has gone through some controversy as family members of soldiers that died in the war weren’t pleased with the fact that in the multiplayer you could play in the Taliban team against the Allied forces.

Acording to 1UP they have been given the list of achievements and trophies that will be in the game once it comes out. The list is huge and will for sure compete with EA’s Medal of Honor, which we got to play the demo, and if we might add was quite good. From the looks of things, Black OPs is going to be a promising game and will probably be better than Modern Warfare. Check out the list by clicking here.
