Golden Joystick award winners crowned

The superlative game of 2011 was awarded to Portal 2 at the Golden Joystick awards. The London Park Plaza was the venue for the glitzy event which saw hundreds of the year’s best games competing for the coveted prizes.

Portal 2, the mind-bending action-adventure from the creators of Half Life won “Ultimate Game”. Creating portals, navigating a dying production plant and combating the hateful AI called “GlaDOS” turned out to be an experience that every gamer could sink their teeth into.

While Portal 2 was crowned best game, there were no titles which managed to completely dominate the award show.

Other notable winners included Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, the globe-trotting follow-up to Assassin’s Creed 2. With a larger city, a troupe of assassins to control and well-received multiplayer, Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood managed to garner the nomination of “Best Action/Adventure Title”.
