We are just weeks away from the ending of 2011 and as we look back on it, we see a year of great innovation for the video gaming industry. One that has not only lived up to the setting of the stage the yesteryears placed it on but also managed to pave a bright path for many more to come.

With the verdict passed on most of the biggest titles of the year, I guess the time has come for us to touch upon the very subjective matter of which games top the rest and move on to become classics for the future generations to remember and replay.

Especially with so many titles having been released this year and every gamer having his or her own taste and flavour of games, it becomes a tediously sensitive task to frame a listing that will not be viewed as biased.

With the rumours of next-generation consoles fresh in the air, this year could might as well be marked as one of the final ones for the seventh generation. With that perspective enabled, the making of the list grows comparatively easier. Rather than jotting personal opinions, we can instead look to see if the titles released this year managed to make the era memorable in its prime.

The year played host to revolutionary games in almost every genre. Let it be releases like Portal 2 or Deus Ex: Human Revolution that redefined gameplay, story-driven series like Assassin’s Creed, shooters like Battlefield 3 that delivered a whole new level of tech and realism, platform exclusives such as Gears of War 3 and Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception or massive follow-up titles like Skyrim, gamers have been given so much AAA content on their hands to even think of next-gen for now.

The holidays are almost upon us and many of you might have been saving up to invest in making your long gaming sessions more entertaining.

So we listed out some of the most valued titles of the year that we think might worth your buck. Be sure to check it out and happy holidays.
