That's right, gaming pals, it is that time. The Infinite Ammo brain trust has perfected a flawless scientific method with which to divine the very best games of 2011. Upon completing our experiments, the following games manifested before us. Keep in mind, though, we here at Infinite Ammo do not believe in numbers; the following games are not ranked in any way, and we love them all equally. The order is merely a formality.
"Dark Souls: Archthrones is like playing a brand new FromSoftware game, and that speaks volumes about just how much good modding can do," says Hanzala from eXputer.
Parrying has been creeping into more games, with almost every high-profile title of the last few years featuring it in some way. Why?
i understand the authors frustration i'm not the best at parrying in games. not that i can't complete a game that requires it but it is a definite harder thing for me than other kinds of techniques in games. which might be the main reason it's so heavily added in games nowadays. want to make your game challenging without having to do a lot of work? just add a parry boss. (what i mean by parry boss is a boss you have to beat by parrying such that their attacks will kill you otherwise)
I always think it's fine as long as such games also have the roll/dodge panic button. But I understand the will to parry, it seems so cinematic in a fight when you pull it off.

Portal deserves to be one of steams highest rated games... It's almost tetris levels of perfect game design.
Gotta love Steam. Just got Portal 2 for .97 cents CAD. Should have been $1.29, selected the bundle with Portal 1 and 2, which gets a 25% discount, already have Portal 1, so it removes the cost of that, and still applies the full 25% bundle discount to Portal 2. 90% + 25% discount.
That's sweet, I've been thinking about building a modest pc to play some oldies
This is a good list. This guy thinks outside the box.
i only played 3 games last year that i cared enough to beat and they were batman, dark souls, and sonic generations ( generations also had the worst final boss in my entire history of gaming but was otherwise a solid game )
beyond that, most other titles were meh for me. at least of the ones i played which didnt include portal 2
