The votes have been counted for the Golden Joystick Awards 2011, and here are the games that came out on top:

Opinion: It's Time for FPS Games to Go!

The FPS game is one that dominates our current gaming marketplace. I'm not saying that there aren't other successful genre's in gaming - but whenever a new Call of Duty comes out, it's an immediate No. 1. Am I the only one getting tired of this?
