    Good podcast guys, keep up the good work.

    Skyrim would be my GOTY, but I can see why you guys have voted for Arkham City – it is excellent.

    Oh good podcast by the way, first one I’ve listened to, but I will be checking back for more.

    Haha, nice poddy guys.

    Thought I’d get more stick for not including Uncharted 3 in my votes, mainly because of so many great games being released this year. Think the top 10 has ended superbly though, with some nice surprises in their too.

    Let’s hope for another year of great gaming.

    good stuff but what about assassins creed revelations …
    my top 5
    1.skyrim
    2.arkham city
    3.battlefield 3
    4.deus ex human rev
    5. assassins creed revelations

    uncharted 3 misses out .. because.. the ending felt bit rushed..
    and the action could be sluggish at times..
    still a great game tho !

      A very good top five there, prabs. Unfortunately, whilst Revelations is a very good game, it didn’t quite live up to the high standard of Brotherhood. Well, for us anyway. However, we can understand why people would include it in their top five. 2011 was a year filled with great games, so many to choose from meant a few had to miss out.
