Top 5 Video Games of 2011

This year has produced many excellent and elite video games that have raised standards for future games but here are the five top video games for the Xbox 360.

1. Elder Scrolls V Skyrim: An excellent open world game that will take over your life, with excellent graphics at least a couple hundred hours of gameplay to beat the game. Killing dragons was a nice addition to the franchise and the side quests are fun especially the stormcloak ones. The only thing lacking in this game is there is absolutely no online capabilities.

2. Batman Arkham City: Just like Arkham Asylum I have absolutely no complaints whats so ever. The story is a decent length, the side missions are fun, leveling system is great and getting all the riddler trophies is fun, exciting, challenging, and time consuming.

3. Dead Space 2: Way better than the first one visually and storyline wise, no more backtracking just pure necromorph destruction. Only reason why this isn't in the top 2 is for the lack of fun in the online gameplay. Story takes about 8 hours to beat and is the best horror shooter game ever made. End of discussion.

4. Modern Warfare 3: Another excellent Call of Duty game in the series, campaign is kind of lacking however the online play more than makes up for it. The new game modes keep the fun going and new perks, killstreaks make if fun for everyone whether your a 20 kill streak player or a conservative support player. Spec Ops and survival mode also add to the God status of this first person shooter franchise.

5. Fifa 12: The only sports game ever to crack my top 5 video games of the year ever is Fifa 12, this game is excellent visually and almost could be mistaken for real life soccer. The tactical defending made it even more realistic and this franchise is leaps and bounds over any other sports series going.

Other notable games of the year: Assassins Creed Revelations (yet to play so can't put on list), Saints Row the Third (toss up with Fifa 12 for the 5th Spot), Dead Island ( sorry Dead Space 2 stole my heart and you couldn't take my brainssssss), Rage (definitely a top 8 game just not a top 5 one), Madden 12 (eheh is that a joke? Madden 12 probably 30th) x_x

Next blog will continue with the top 5 theme as we will decide on the top 5 movies of the year (hint hint) no Twilight but maybe some wizards with big sticks o_0
