Welcome to the Editors' Picks portion of 1UP's Best of 2011 Awards! We've taken a slightly different approach this year by narrowing our awards down to a few meaningful picks instead of offering up dozens of prizes to dozens of games. Sure, the blanket approach would mean everyone could feel good because more of the games they like get mentioned, and it would make us more likely to be quoted on the next round of "game of the year" edition re-releases, but we think our approach is a little more honest. We've put together categories that mean something to us and whittled down this year's slate of amazing releases to the absolute best. These are our sincere, unprejudiced picks: The games we loved most in 2011.
"But where are the best of genre and platform picks!?" you ask. We decided to drop those this year because, well, they don't matter. So many great games are multi-platform releases, and so many break down the boundaries between traditional genres, that we no longer see any meaning in those sort of awards. Agree? Disagree? Tell us all about it (and share your thoughts on our collective picks) in the comments! And don't forget to make your own voice heard in the Readers' Picks portion!
