Worst DLC
No surprise here. I had people thank me for my quick download and review of Dragon Age's Witch Hunt. As a short adventure that was maybe half of its price, it could have been passable. The characters you meet were fun, and it breathed some new life into a great game. How they tagged it was the problem. To bait players into thinking that they might get answers to questions they had from the end of Dragon Age, and then offer up absolutely nothing is just wrong.
Best MTG Expansion
Worldwake was a fantastic set that added quite a few staple cards into our decks. Abyssal Persecutor, Avenger of Zendikar, Basilisk Collar, and of course, the ever popular Jace the Mindsculptor has made this set out of print. We can only hope that the next small set to be released will have as much of an impact on the game as this set did.
Best Xbox Live Arcade Title
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light was my favorite Arcade game of the year by a long shot. Fun gameplay, local and online co-op, challenges that rewarded you with new items for completing them, but completely unnecessary to do so, all in all just a fantastic representation of what a Arcade game should be.
Most Pageviews on VG30
GenCon was good to us. Our coverage of Day 1 on the Floor not only has doubled the readership, but brought in a very close knit group of D&D players on Twitter that welcomed me with open arms. We're really looking forward to making it out to GenCon 2011 to see everybody again, and to share what we find with everybody who follows us.
Best PS3 Game (that we actually played)
Despite some hangups, God of War 3 is the best PS3 title that we got our hands on this year. I made fun of some of the camera effects, and the final boss left some to be desired, but GoW3 was visually stunning and a great reason to own a PS3. I wonder how much further they can take the series, and hope to see future installments really push the boundaries of the the system can do.
