We look back on some of the many, many amazing games of 2011, and do our best to pick a favourite amongst the surprises and letdowns. Join us to find out the Game Podium "Game of the Year 2011". We also make some predictions for 2012, which is shaping up to be another impossible year to keep up with.

We take Battlefield and Modern Warfare head-to-head, while Jonny tries to explain how and why to "Prestige". We also try to get inside Microsoft's thinking on the latest Dashboard update and Xbox mobile apps, and have our first chat about PlayStation hero Nathan Drake and his adventures. Lastly, we discuss some of the more interesting new trailers from VGA 2011... And a very Merry Christmas from all at GameAddix.com and the Game Podium team.

We’ve had our hands full this month with a trip to UK’s GAMEfest giving us plenty of opportunity to checkout upcoming games including Modern Warfare 3, Street Fighter X Tekken, Journey, Mario Kart 7, Rayman Origins, Binary Domain and (far too) many more. We also get in depth on Gears of War 3 and the recent Battlefield 3 beta.

Were back from the unknown with a casual catch-up on games old and new. There's talk of E3 and other news, with discussion on LA Noire, Tribes: Ascend, From Dust, Street Fighter III: Online Edition, Starcraft 2, Warhammer 40K and more. Also in-depth review of Kinect including thougths on Child of Eden.
