It's been postponed, they say, until 2013. Now, allowing for the brief moment of panic I'm sure that statement inspired, let me clarify by saying that Blizzard claims it's just go too much going on right now, what with Diablo 3, Word of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria and StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm all coming out.

I was hoping the game would be similar to what we've seen in Wii sports, albeit with more depth, better graphics and an MLB license. Unfortunately I was clearly mistaken. Had I picked up MLB Bobblehead Pros, Konami's last baseball release, I would have been in business. Bobblehead Battle on the other hand is a retooled version of Pros that takes away any of the real fun and replaces it with a poor take on batting practice.

Capcom, maker of games like Street Fighter, has decided that Tokyo's Shinjuku will be home to Capcom Bar, a bar that will serve foods such as Ace Attorney seafood pasta and Resident Evil "Brains" for dessert. Naturally, they will host many Capcom promotional events while they're at it. All they need now are Capcom-themed cosplayers and they're good to go.

While it was a tough year for many, at least the gaming aspect of last year was not only phenomenal, but quite possibly the greatest in the history of our favourite medium. Competitiveness being what it is, and the fact that everyone needs a definitive answer to the best of the best, we've seen it fit to join the parade and name our greatest games of 2011.
