2011 has delivered some pretty big games so far. There are plenty more to come, but we thought we'd put together an easy list of our reviews of 2011's most recently released AAA titles. Some are great, some aren't — read through and let us know if you agree with our thoughts.
7 / 7
Dragon Age II's streamlined mechanics and more action-oriented combat should appeal to console players, but hardcore fans of PC RPGs may feel slighted.

- Pros:
- Combat is fast and fun yet retains much of its strategic appeal, Kirkwall serves as grand adventure hub in the spirit of Baldur's Gate II's Athkatla, BioWare creates another memorable character in Varric
- Cons:
- Game lacks "epic feel" of Origins, framed narrative feels a bit gimmicky, PC players lose large battlefield view of combat, final battle falls flat
