GOTY 2011: Best New IP Award

Next up is our award for the Best New Intellectual Protocol of 2011. In other words, it's our award for the best original title of this year.
Unfortunately, this year was a bit bare for new projects, as publishers thought more about safe bets, than attempting to capture imaginations with new, exciting characters and stories. Anyway, here's our picks:
Bulletstorm
LA Noire
Bastion
Brink
RAGE
Catherine
El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron
Shadows of the Damned
Child of Eden
Gods Eater Burst
And the Best New IP of 2011 is..... Bastion!
That's right folks, despite only being an Xbox Live Arcade/PC title from indie developer Supergiant Games, we felt that Bastion was the best new property of the year. If you want to learn more about Bastion, feel free to check out our extensive review from earlier in the year: Bastion Review
