Many great games (and some not so great) have appeared across all the systems this year, some launched with public frenzy or huge media campaigns (I'm not sure if anyone is unaware of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's release).
However some games don't have their own hype machine for every Uncharted there's an El Shaddai.
Here are 11 games you may have missed this year and should look out for if you need something inbetween those killer Skyrim or MW sessions, they might not be AAA but they are quality titles.
