The second-to-last-year of our existencewas quite an amazing one for multiplayer gaming! On the competitive front, we were blessed with the latest releases in theBattlefield,Call of Duty,Gears of War,Killzone,ResistanceandUnchartedseries, co-op gamers enjoyed the addition of multiplayer to the stellarPortalfranchise as well as creative new IPs likeBulletstormandDungeon Defenders, and fighting game fans were finally given the first properMortal Kombatgame in a generation (oh, and a little game calledMarvel vs Capcom 3, to boot).
Yes, 2011 was quite good to us, and it’s sad to see it end. But hey, 2012 isn’t looking too shabby, either! BetweenHalo 4,Grand Theft Auto Vand a plethora of DLC to feed ourBattlefield,Call of DutyandGearsaddictions, we’ll have no problem keeping busy. (And say what you will about the addition of co-op modes toMass Effect 3andDead Space 3, but the possibility for greatness is there!)
But enough about the future. Let’s go kill off 2011 in the only way we know how!
