Towards the closing of the year 2011, we do not forget to compile a list of 10 best games ever released this year. Although we must admit, the game selection process quite difficult. Because so many high quality games we’ve played this year.

Here they are:
. Dark Soul
The impression left by Dark Soul in denying ourselves not so deep and painful! Wait a minute – our intention is not painful in a negative sense. Because, Dark Soul is an action RPG game that we really enjoy. Yes, the difficulty level is so high, an enemy that knows no pity even an atom, and a variety of ways to die is ridiculous that we crave in a game. Moreover, added by the presence of a large enemy that is so epic and surprisingly, Dark Soul clearly become the most memorable game for us and deserve to be one of the best games this year!

. Portal 2
When you think Portal 2 was limited to ordinary puzzle game that relies on the effects of physics, then you have lost the main pleasure of this game. The ability to manipulate various objects through the portal gun is so fun is only part of the enjoyment of Portal 2.

Halo: Combat Evolved Review

A game is considered a masterpiece entitled if successful and futures have a major impact in the hearts of gamers. Halo: Combat Evolved can not be denied again as one example of the right to hold the title game is. Halo is not a first person shooter (FPS) first, but this game gives a new definition to the console FPS genre. If the players look good, a lot of today’s FPS elements in it are inspired by the Halo games, such as regenerating health, instant grenade, instant melee, console matchmaking, and others.

To commemorate 10 years dilirisnya, 343 industries as a game developer who is now in charge of the Halo franchise, answering the requests of thousands of her fans by creating an enhanced HD remake of the game that has sold more than 40 billion units through Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary. With the release of the first products 343, whether the Halo franchise was in the hands of the ‘right’ team since the originator of the Bungie Studios Halo release ‘golden boy’ that they create and foster care since 2001?

Not a lot of additional features implemented on the Halo: CE Anniversary. This step is applied so that original feel of the game still felt in the minds of gamers who have fond memories of when to play it 10 years ago. Overall visual which has been remastered with the engines of today looks very phenomenal. It is inevitable that 343 staff have worked very hard to make this old look like a new game. They are also not only to upscale graphics, but also completely change the texture environment and model so that it appears there was an attempt to accentuate the ‘attention to detail’ in the environment.

The new feature that makes me quite impressed that a switch between graphics modes the new version with the original version in the middle of an ongoing game with as easy as pressing the select button. Options for 3D display as well as in input for gamers who have a 3D TV. Unfortunately the graphics mode of this displacement can not be used in mid cutscene, and no theater mode which had popularized by Halo 3 so that gamers can not watch the replay of their game.

Also the soundtrack and sound effects also in-remastered, where sound effects such as change of weapons and explosions are very different feels and sounds more clearly. Not only the graphics​ can be changed, but also can choose between the original soundtrack or that have been refurbished.

While playing with the graphics of today, gamers should be aware that they play a 10-year-old game with a difference in the remastered graphics and audio in which the damage, health, weapons, AI, remains the same. This game has dared to show that although only a remake, gameplay and combat it can still compete with the same games in the genre today. Not only that, some other features that are not in the change makes us think how the FPS genre has changed after 10 years and all started from Halo: CE. Read more
