Time lists top 10 games of 2011

http://www.time.com/time/specials/pa...101197,00.html

#1 Minecraft
#2 Portal 2
#3 The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
#4 Uncharted 3
#5 Batman: Arkham City
#6 Bastion
#7 Skyrim
#8 Dark Souls
#9 Sword & Sworcery
#10 Battlefield 3


For the record, I disagree on a lot of these but I do agree with their #1 pick--it broke a lot of molds.

At least CoD MW3 wasn't listed . But seriously, I can agree with #1, not sure how I feel about the rest (glad Skyrim is on there).

It was mentioned on BF3's entry. Of the two, they decided BF3 was better so they included it and excluded MW3.


I definitely think Portal 2 didn't deserve #2 spot. When we think back to 2011, Portal 2 likely isn't going to be on that list. XD

Most people I've talked to had nothing good to say about Uncharted 3 too. And I just beat Skyward Sword and it doesn't deserve a top 10 spot on any list (except maybe Wii and only Wii).

Bastion? Come on. Yeah it was alright but alright doesn't deserve a spot on a top 10 list.

Overall, I'd say the people that created that list have no clue what they're talking about.

Wow i am surprised that Dark Souls is there. The game is quite good and it is hard as hell hence i thought it was in a niche market (even though its an RPG).

Batman and Skyrim i think should be higher though.
