From the dungeons of Lordran to the peaks of Throat of the World, from the puzzles of Aperture Science to the mean streets of Arkham City, 2011 offered a world of experiences so rich that gamers are still living in its shadow. To play the games of 2011 is to understand not just where the medium has been, but where it continues to strive to go.
