It’s been an incredible year for Mojang’s sandbox construction game, with mobile versions out in the wild, an ever-growing fanbase and their very own convention. To top all of that off, Notch and crew had Minecraft deemed as the past year’s best game by one of the world’s oldest news magazines.
Time Magazine — with some help from yours truly — ran down 10 great titles from 2011. The list includes Dark Souls, Bastion and Sword & Sworcery. Portal 2 came in at second just under Minecraft, followed by The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. What about Skyrim, you ask? Oh, it’s on there. Click the link to see where Bethesda’s RPG and a bunch of other titles wound up.

For those of you who like eating the same hamburger from the same place every day, feel free to celebrate when they decide to add cheese, pineapple or egg.
But for those who like to experience something new and different, give the place down the road a go, you cook your own meat on a barbecue in the middle of the table.
