2011 was a lively year for computer gaming, with several brilliant surprises. Multiple roguelike games saw relative commercial success: The Binding of Isaac, Dungeons of Dreadmor, and Realm of the Mad God. Bioware managed to disappoint with Dragon Age II, while announcing Mass Effect 3 will have a few more RPG elements than it's immediate predecessor. But there are two surprises in particular I want to talk about here. Two things I honestly though I would die without seeing: a good Deus Ex sequel, and Duke Nukem Forever.
