SO. EA just signed a deal with Katy Perry to promote The Sims 3, starting with the latest expansion pack Showtime. In fact, they created a special collector's edition that adds her into the game. And I'm thinking to myself, wondering, “WHY?! What the fuck kind of sales is The Sims 3 having? Are they in the shitter?”

At the time of this writing (Sunday the 15th), it's been announced that the White House is not going to support either SOPA or PIPA, which is a good thing. If you haven't heard about them... what the hell are you doing, living under a rock? They’re bills that, if enacted, will basically destroy the entire Internet, all in the “name” of “stopping copyright infringement.” I touched on it in the Off-Kilter Awards, but I think CR! from That Guy with The Glasses has described it the best, go check his video on it.

2011 brought us many great games, but it also brought us a few flops. I won’t focus on the minor games that rated poorly, but instead, two games that I had high expectations for that could have been so much better.

Alrighty, let's continue. Next up are the voice actor/actress awards. I had to split them up into four separate awards because there's more to it than just naming a winner, especially if you want to give heavy recognition when it's deserved. You'll see what I mean. Also, with my two fanservice categories, the first one is like, what you'd normally consider fanservice, like stripperific female characters and the like. The second one (“Capcom” because they defined it) is more like fan-pandering, like throwing in fan-favorite characters and stuff like that.

I don't like traditional awards articles. They tend to be dry as fuck, are written more towards the industry than anything else, and tend to all gravitate towards the same game as game of the year. In that spirit, I present to you the first half of 7thDementia's Off-Kilter Awards of 2011. These are MY opinions. You're allowed to disagree with them, but these come from playing some of these games a lot.
