Game of the Year 2011 - People's Choice
Uros "Vader" Pavlovic

Yep, we've started early this year. The time has come when we try to gather
our thoughts about the year and the game's that have gone by. There are a lot
of games on the list, so it's time to cast your votes, people. We feel obligated
to stress though, that a lot of games did not make it into the voting poll.
Now, some games are still not out, such as Serious Sam 3. Also, after some debate
we decided not to include games like Star Wars: The Old Republic. There's a
number of games that were left out because they just didn't live up to expectations.
So, Dragon Age 2, Duke Nukem Forever, Warhammer 40k: Space Marine
and similar titles that were objectively great disappointments were left out
of the voting poll on purpose. We did not include any low-budget games or rather
indie games.
In other words, feel free to cover me gently in olive oil and set fire to my blonde legs if you think I've left something out that you're particularly keen on. Without further ado, here's ActionTrip's Game of the Year 2011 - People's Choice! - voting poll (the poll is to the right as usual):

Bulletstorm has my vote for the fps of the year, its the only title that brought some innovation to the stale fps genre!
As a big fan of Deus Ex series and the former Ion Storm, I did not find Human Revolution enjoyable enough to be nowhere near GOTY. It felt small, easy, unsatisfying and most importantly, it wasn't "dark" enough for me.
I'll probably vote for Skyrim - haven't finished it yet and I wonder if I will without some decent mods (just like Oblivion). Funny thing that Bethesda does - they create the world, characters, quests, few models for armors and weapons... and then they wait for modders to make it all look right. They did the same thing with Oblivion, Fallout 3 & NV, now Skyrim. It's great on one hand that they let people use modules they like, and pretty convenient on the other hand (at least in terms of research for what needs to be done differently, like book shelves... or it's just like "too damn lazy to do it myself so i'll let some guy do it for free").
But yeah, so far - Skyrim. Haven't seen LA Noire on PC yet and had only a glimpse of that on a console... Saints Row: the Third is probably going to be fun but not that fun to vote for it. AC:R - possibly "same shit, different city" (though the story of the previous instalments was quite enjoyable from time to time... conspiracy, mystery - they always sell).
As to the rest of the list - tyeaaah, right :P
Anyway... until they develop Omikron 2 (or Nomad Soul 2 if you like) there's no sure winner of anything. 12 years after release Nomad Soul still can be called better than the majority of the games right now (even though the graphics are outdated)... and I'm not really a huge fan of David Bowie.
Haven't spent enough time with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim to consider it for voting yet. Gears of War 3 is my most disappointing title of the year, and that's all I've played from this list thus far.
Too bad other games don't get free passes like Elder Scrolls games.
Don't get me wrong they're fun games but not even remotely this deserving of praise with issues other games would and have been creamed over.
I loved shogun 2, witcher, batman and deus ex, but... nope, skyrim for sure
It has nearly 50% of the vote and the second closest game, BF3, has a mere 7.73%.
Do we really need to continue with this poll? I think it's blatantly obvious what game was won this poll.
My vote goes to Portal 2, because fuck'yall.
p.s. More Portal single player games please, except make them dark and not funny like the first one.
Skyrim is runner-up. Much improved over Oblivion in several ways, but it also looks like a game from two years ago, and while the story and writing are competent, it's still nothing particularly exceptional. NPCs are still completely forgettable (even major characters), and the combat is somewhat better than previous TES games, but not by much.
After Skyrim comes Total War: Shogun 2, I suppose. But of course it gets just about ignored by two-thirds of the industry since its PC-exclusive. Not to mention an RTS game.
DX:HR is a somewhat distant fourth. Then Witcher 2, despite its flaws, neck and neck with Portal 2.
Best MP game of the year is Battlefield 3 by a bazillion miles. It's the best looking -- and especially sounding, good god DICE's sound engine and effects people are fucking brilliant -- first-person-shooter experience I've ever seen. If it wasn't for the odd out-of-game browser interface that bothers so many people... and the millions of mindless drones loyal to Modern Warfare, i.e. Madden for first-person-shooters... I think it'd have a 90+ rating on Metacritic.
I'm getting my hands on AC: Revelation tomorrow, so I can't speak for it yet. But even if like the game as much as I did Brotherhood, I still don't think I'd rate it higher than DX:HR or Witcher 2, simply because those games are inherently fresher and more ambitious than a game that's the fourth entry into an IP in four years, regardless of the quality. What I enjoy, and what I artistically admire are not necessarily joined at the hip.
And finally, a bitter lol @ Rage and the now official 'has-been' status of id Software.
Deus Ex would be up there but those boss fights... they were just NOT needed.
I'd vote for Skyrim but honestly, why? The game just came out. I'm still playing it so there is still room to fuck that game up.
Portal 2? Well, I will give it mad props for making an awesome game better. That should win considering the level it had to live up to.
My inner fanboy wants to vote for Portal 2, but I'll just wait 'till Batty gets on PC so I won't vote until then.
