The Best Video Games of 2011 and Other Awards

With it being the last day of the year I though I would put together a list of the best PC, PSP, Xbox 360 and DS games from 2011.

To qualify for an award I must have played the game in the last 12 months but the game doesn’t have to been released in 2011. Also if I haven’t played a game yet it can’t be up for an award as I wont know whether its good or not.
