Seasonal greetings, one and all! As 2011 comes to a screeching halt, and we prepare to forcibly rocket ourselves into 2012, now is the time for the considered and sesquipedalian . community to pause and reflect on which of their games from 2011 they'd most likely attempt to rescue if their house caught ablaze in a terrifying New Years Eve party disaster.
After reminding myself of how to use Excel and counting all the votes, I can confirm that 75 games were nominated this year. Only the top 25 are going to be lucky enough to get individually listed, so what didn't make the cut? Hyperbolic shooters Duke Nukem Forever (53) and Bulletstorm (29) were absent, as was hilarious open-world romp Saints Row: The Third (48). Mario Kart 7 was hit at the last minute by a blue shell and finished at number 35, and the charming Bastion finished at 43.
After getting that out the way, well, I feel an analogy coming on: while the . staff make up the wrinkled, dry and booze-soaked filling of a Christmas cake, it's the community that are the icing. Thank you all for spending another year here, and may your posts and support continue long into 2012.
That's quite enough chit-chat, I think. Let's see what won!
