Happy New Year!

What a year 2011 was: great things happened...and some equally terrible things happened. But, this is a gaming blog, we need to dwell on the games. Gaming is about escapism, not reality, so let's get to it.
2011 saw the release of many games ending with the number 3. Uncharted 3, Battlefield 3, MW3, Gears of War 3, Saints Row the Third and some others. One of the biggest wars this year was the war between MW3 and Battlefield 3. As usual, COD sold millions of copies more than Battlefield, but something was different. Critics always used to give MW3 ridonkculously high scores, but this time around, the general score dropped somewhat significantly. So, COD may have sold more, but critically, Battlefield won the match. My personal favourite non Skyward Sword game came out in November: BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY!! OMG WHAT AN AMAZING GAME OF EPIC PROPORTIONS! Portal 2 also made many fans jump for joy and Assassin's Creed: Revelations did the Call of Duty thing again like in Brotherhood (release an expansion as opposed to a new game) But possibly the biggest thing to hit gaming this year was the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. With hundreds of Hours of gameplay and a gigantic world to roam around in, it took game of the year with ease. Still, Skyward Sword is better.

So gamers, what will you be playing this year?
