2011 was a year that I spent most of my time playing old PS3 games. As a result I can't justifiably create a Top 10 list or even give our a GOTY award to something I'd consider truly deserving. So instead I decided to do a little something different. More categories will be added in time, but I'm taking my family to Disney World for Christmas in 20 minutes so I didn't quite have time to finish. In the meantime, I hope you all enjoy.

*crickets*
Best Toilet Game - PushMo
Not only is the title of the game perfectly appropriate for sitting on the john, its' short single levels are perfect for a quick trip or for that long extended toilet time.
Best DudeBro line of the Year - Bulletstorm
"You wanna make out? Just two gruff military hardened dudes sitting in an elevator snuggling out their woes in a totally hetero way."
Most Unjustified Moment of Rage - Mortal Kombat
Scorpion kills Mileena for trying to give him a teddy bear. That's just mean.
Best Game I Swear I've Already Played 2 or 3 Times Before - Kirby's Return to Dreamland
I like the game, but wow this game feels like every other Kirby game out there and I've only played 2 of them.
Do Something Already Dammit Award - 2D Boy
Congrats for going a 3rd year in a row without doing anything other than porting World of Goo to new systems and talking crap about big developers (who put out far more product then they do).
Runner Up - Team Ico
Most Badass Mexican - Steel Attack
This tough-ass bastard faces a disease that would make most of us shit out pants on a daily basis. All I know is I wouldn't fuck with the guy.
Runner Up - Garcia Hotspur
He kills demons and talks like a sailor, but he still ain't shit compared to Steel.
Best Use of Actors Who You Recognize, but Don't Actually Know - LA Noire
It's remarkable how many Hollywood actors actually appear in the game, but they're all people who show up on one episode of Law and Order or had a sitcom that got cancelled after 6 episodes. As a result you never actually get to learn their names. As a result they all showed up in LA Noire. Good times.
The Best Game That Everyone Besides Myself Is Too Dumb To Understand - Fortune Street
Reviewers are stupid. I'll leave it that. Let me just say that every Dragon Quest fan really needs to play this just for the characters and boards. Aside from that everyone who understands the basic concepts of economics should also play the game. Then again looking at the state of the world economy, it's no wonder no one understands how to play this game.
Sweet list. Give me more. I can read these all day.
Now do a worst list!
You get to go to Disneyland every Christmas.
They should have at least put the Harry potter resort in Britain so I could wail on the ginger kid each year.
Geek - I don't get to go to Disney every year for Christmas. This was the first year as a matter of fact. However, I have to say we had such a good time that the wife and I are thinking about making it an annual tradition. Damn near best Christmas ever.
Did you drive? If so, stop by South Cackalacki on your way back and say hello to old Travo.
^Watch out Dark Robio might show!
For some reason I thought you lived up north, like in Connecticut.
