Most Acclaimed Games of 2011

This was supposed to have been posted back in January, but an issue with my computer prevented that.  Anyway, I compiled end of year lists from over 30 gaming or gaming related publications to arrive at the most highly acclaimed games of 2011.  Here are the top 20:

Most Acclaimed Games of 2010

With the year drawing to a close, I thought that it would be interesting to present a list of the 10 most acclaimed games from 2010 based on the lists that I have been adding to the Acclaimed Video Games (AVG) database. However, since the number of lists that 2010 games are eligible for are scant, I have adjusted my formula (for this mini-list only) to include Metacritic scores. By combining a game's AVG score with its Metacritic score (weighted at 2:1), I have arrived at the most acclaimed video games of 2010. I have also listed the likelihood of each game appearing on the list of the 200 Most Acclaimed Games in the next update based on current data. The list starts after the jump.
