lukaszthegreat: sorry. don't count on it. Spreadsheet didn't work. way too much time consuming and now it is a bit too late.

will do better in 2012 and it will be the old style (only on gog. will create new account so we will have space)
I'll see if I can't write up some index-match functions to speed things up. Now, how to account for games not on the list already...?
I did not play to many new releases this year (GOG is much more wallet friendly) but I will vote any way

Game of the Year 2011- Abstain (not sure)
Worst Game of the Year 2011- Sword of the Stars 2
Surprise of the Year 2011- Shogun 2 Total War
Letdown of the Year 2011- Sword of the Stars 2
Best Game Played This Year (not limited to games released this year)- Sword of the Stars 1 Complete
Worst Game Played This Year (not limited to games released this year)- World War One Gold Edition
GOTY 2011 - I'd have to say Minecraft, the wonderful blocky game that sucks your productivity very dry.
WGOTY 2011 - I haven't played very much this year, so I really don't know...
Suprise 2011 - I'd say Sonic Generations. When I learned everything about the game so slowly, from the levels that'd be there to even the music they'd put in, (boy was I happy when they made the Door Into Summer remix for the collection room :D) it was a long stream of suprises!
Letdown 2011 - Again, I haven't played much, and I don't have any really awful games from this year, or even letdowns, so this will remain unanswered.
Best this year - DOOM. Yeah, I said that. DOOM. I just played it, almost done. Did I mention I was dead frickin' serious that I just started playing DOOM this year? It's 2011, days until it officially is 18 years since the release of the game, I'm 13, and I have seriously never played DOOM until this very year. Call me a horrible pile of sadness as you will. :P
Worst played in 2011 - Daikatana. I only played 5-10 minutes of it and I officially know it sucks. My opinion on it is higher than most others since I actually suffered through a little bit of it, and even from those 10 minutes, I could write a list at least a page long of why it's bad.
Since I feel like it, I'll add my own tiny category;
Most anticipated games, even outside of 2011 - Super Meat Boy. I still haven't gotten my grubby hands on this meaty game yet. But I (unfortunately, due to a stupid feature related to Amazon wishlists, telling you "hey, someone related to you bought this, it might even be for you" and spoiling the fun of waiting for that wonderful day of Christmas) spoiled that I certainly will get this game this Christmas. I didn't even INTEND to see what I'd be getting this year, but freaking Amazon, as I said in those parantheses, spoiled it for me. I'll never use Amazon wishlists again.
Game of the Year 2011 - Witcher 2
Worst Game of the Year 2011 - Dragon Age II
Surprise of the Year 2011 - GOG's Anouncement of Newer Games / Divinity 2
Letdown of the Year 2011 - Skyrim Collector's Edition
Best Game Played This Year (not limited to games released this year) - WItcher 2
Worst Game Played This Year (not limited to games released this year) - D&D Daggerdale

Game of the Year 2011 - Witcher 2. That game was masterpiece. Perfectly tied to the first game AND the books, ending some storylines and starting others. Amazing.
Worst Game of the Year 2011 - I ... Have no clue. I usually play games about an year after release. That's the reason I'd say Skyrim.
Surprise of the Year 2011 - Surprise, eh? A game that was released in 2011, eh? Well that's a tough one, as I said I tend to play games roughly one year after release :D So I'll take the liberty and say modded Oblivion. I mean it's really, really fun.
Letdown of the Year 2011 - Skyrim. I've had more fun with Oblivion on release! Something just doens't click with me, probably that I feel we have reverted to 16bit colors...
Best Game Played This Year (not limited to games released this year) - WItcher 1 + 2. They're basically one game, that's how much they're tied together.
Worst Game Played This Year (not limited to games released this year) - Men of War. God that was one of the most horrible gaming experiences I've ever had.

I'm finding it really hard or even impossible to pick between Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Skyrim for my game of the year. Not ready to answer that yet I guess.

"Worst" game is kind of a silly question to me... I didn't play the worst game, surely, because why would I? Worst game I played was probably some random indie game I don't even remember. Letdown is a better category and I will say Dragon Age 2. Even though I liked it it was a letdown compared to the original.

Surprise of the year is Skyrim, easily. I expected it to be just as boring, dumb and lacking in immersion and writing as Oblivion but instead it made vast improvements in all those areas.

Best game I played this year regardless of release... well, I played some Morrowind which is my favorite game of all time. If you mean played this year for the first time though, then same thing as game of the year: Deus Ex 3 or Skyrim, not sure.
Game of the Year 2011 - The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings: a stunning game. I find myself randomly going back to it all the time.
Worst Game of the Year 2011 - Not sure, maybe Duke Nukem Forever? I haven't played many 2011 games to be honest.
Surprise of the Year 2011 - Deus Ex: Human Revolution: I thought they would totally fuck it up. They did a damn fine job.
Letdown of the Year 2011 - Rage: id Software really let me down, the shitty launch, all the hype surrounding it, and it's nothing like they said it would be. Being an id fanboy, this kind of broke my heart... :C

An honorable mention: Battlefield 3, great fucking game.
