What does “Top 5 on the Fly of 2011” even mean you ask? It’s Nerd Farm’s ode to our top 5 games of 2011. There isn’t an award for game of the year nor is there an award for being the best game in a genre. It’s just us, choosing 1 game each day until the beginning of the new year that we hope you will play, or buy, if you happened to miss them this year.
The first of our Top 5 in no particular order is: Portal 2
Have you ever wanted a sequel so badly just to be rewarded with a pile of shit? Well the Portal Team didn’t do that. They actually did quite the opposite and gave us a game that not only is superior graphically and intellectually, but also gave us a “game”. Portal 2 has a plot, a story, and it’s a funny one at that. It has memorable characters like the lovable yet idiotic Wheatley, always cynical GLaDOS, the man himself Cave Johnson, and added the dynamic duo Atlas and P-Body. The hype put on the back of Portal 2 could of crushed lesser developers but Valve came out with portal guns ablazing and gave us a gaming masterpiece. Beautifully composed music, tight controls, mind bending puzzles, slap stick humor, and a well crafted co-op multiplayer makes Portal 2 a game you must own. Look forward to seeing our next “Top 5 on the Fly” tomorrow.
