0:07.0	BASAW My personal thoughts for the year of 2011 are rather mixed.
0:34.7	On one hand, we have perhaps the strongest gaming line-up we've ever had,
0:37.6	and more importantly, it was spread throughout the year from Desperse 2 in January, Crisis 2 in March,
0:42.2	portal 2 in April, to the summer titles like Bastion, Catherine, at least in the US and Japan,
