    Bad luck on not getting to play Skyward Sword. OoT 3D is an excellent remake though so nice to see that in there.

    Yeah, I had to represent Zelda somehow for the 25th Anniversary. Bummer I couldn't play Skyward Sword yet, but I'll get my chance soon enough.

    Pretty good list I must say. I was kind of expecting MW3 to be higher for some reason but then again it was beat my three(well four) Nintendo games which shocked me even more.

    Mario 3D Land is my obvious Game of the Year for 2011(might be because I haven't played Skyrim yet) but a pretty good list as I agree with all of the games on there.

    replace MW3 with BF3 and i would agree with the list. BF3 was outright better in every way, regardless of what COD fanboys such as this guy say. even with the rocky start it had, it offers more fun. perks are stupid in a multiplayer FPS anyway so who cares that BF3 doesnt have what you might call "perks" (though it does have upgrades)?

    First of all, thank you everyone for the feedback.

    On the other hand, @Shinobi_razor...that's your personal opinion, but I'm not going to stand here and be called a "COD fanboy". Your opinions lose all validity and attention from me when you can't even form an argument without resorting to calling someone a "fanboy" of the game you don't like. You're an idiot, and that is my opinion. That is all.

      good for you for having an opinion. you know what they say about those, they are like butts in that everyone has them and they all stink.

    • BF3 has tons of vehicles, MW3 has none.
    • BF3 has realistic bullet ballistics where the bullets drop like they do in real life, MW3 still uses virtually flat trajectory.
    • BF3 has Frostbite 2, one of the most advanced game engines to date not to mention really good looking, MW3 is still using a 4 or 5 year old engine with maybe higher res textures. you can polish a turd all you want but its still a turd.
    • in BF3 you can support your team by being a medic, repairing vehicles, etc. you arent stuck with only killing like MW3.
    • BF3 doesnt have to fall back on perks so the players can still win even if they suck, players have to have skill.

    Cool, cool...that's fine and all, @Shinobi_razor, but NONE of those things you mentioned resort to Battlefield 3 being a "better game". Where's the fun? Oh, wait...they were too busy trying to make the game realistic for any of that.

    Battlefield 3 had a three-hour campaign and a multiplayer mode. Whoopie! You can't justify screwing gamers on content like that when your direct competitor - Modern Warfare 3 - offers a much longer campaign, an improved multiplayer component, Survival Mode (basically Zombies, but deeper), and Spec Ops (a returning favorite from MW2). Modern Warfare 3 offers more content (and in my opinion, far better content) than BF3 could ever hope to - which is why it made my list, and why BF3 gets not even the slightest mention.

    well in your opinion the multiplayer is better. maybe it does have more content, and thats a fact, but its not a matter of fact that the multiplayer is better.
