10 Must Have Games of 2011: Holiday Buying Guide

2011-12-18
what's up internet kevin here with TLD now being the holiday season a lot of games have been released in the past month or so we thought it'd be a great idea to give you guys the top 10 list of those you should look out for as gifts for people now this isn't exactly a ranked list this isn't like my number one of my number two games of the year anything like that these are just ten games that we think are great ones to look out for to get for your friends and family and we are placing an emphasis on console games and throwing one handheld into the mix now to begin with we do have one of my personal favorites Elder Scrolls 5 skyrim which is one of the top-selling games of the year it's an xml example of an RPG that allows you to do whatever you want to do within its own setting whether that's just to continue the main quest killing dragons running around protecting people or just stealing anything that isn't nailed to the ground then we have one of the other big sellers of the year call of duty modern warfare 3 a fast-paced action shooter that's an excellent choice for anyone looking for something that can easily just jump into and play right away along for quick pickup matches whether it's free for all or team play as well as featuring a solid campaign that acts as a solid finish to the modern warfare trilogy now of course we can't mention modern warfare 3 without also mentioning one of its biggest rivals this year its tactical counterpart battlefield 3 a game that place is much heavier emphasis on being an actual combat simulator rather than just a straight-up action game featuring larger Maps the use of vehicles and a stronger team focused gameplay approach by using classes next up we have batman arkham city which does an excellent job of doing the one thing it needs to do to be a fun game making you feel like you're freaking Batman having a strong combination of intuitive combat interesting stealth mechanics and a storyline that can be enjoyed both by hardcore Batman fans and casuals if you've got a friend or a family member who's a fan of one particular console or another there are a number of very strong console exclusives that came out in the past months to begin with for the xbox 360 we've Gears of War 3 the final chapter in one of the 360s most successful franchises offering a fun gameplay experience for those who prefer an over-the-shoulder shooter rather than a first-person experience like mana warfare or battlefield as well as having one of the best hard modes available in gaming today now for a ps3 exclusive we have another third entry in a series uncharted 3 a game that does an excellent job of balancing out both cinematics and gameplay narrative give you a great combination of platforming elements shooting and just simple melee brawls here and there and a storyline that is awesomely reminiscent of Indiana Jones now this hasn't exactly been the strongest year for the wii but nintendo still knows how to make their first party tells count and the legend of zelda skyward sword acts as a solid new addition to the series giving a great combination of his the traditions that everyone knows and loves as well as having strong dungeon design and some interesting new mechanics with the wii remote plus i'm moving on to the only handheld game we have on our list Super Mario Land 3d for the 3ds which is the first first party Nintendo title come out that is not just simply a remake of an old n64 favorite featuring gameplay that is reminiscent of new mario 64 while also adding mechanics familiar to older games it's definitely a title well worth picking up for any 3d a center that has yet to they're going back to some more multi-platform options we have one of the more surprising successful game releases of this year with Rayman Origins a game that harkens back to old platforming conventions but also features full four player co-op making it a great experience to play with your friends and that's some of the best visuals to be seen in a 2-d game proving that you don't have to have a game in 3d just to be beautiful and last by at least just a round out our list for the fighting game fan out of your friends or family there's ultimate marvel vs capcom 3 which even though it acts as more of an update to a game that was already released it hosts a new cast of 12 new interesting characters as well as a number of rebalances to the game's core mechanics and is available for the cheaper price tag of 40 bucks rather than 60 we hope you guys found this gift guide useful and in the spirit of the
