TSA’s Top 100 of 2011 – #100 to #50

Half-way there. With fifty down and fifty more to go, we thought we’d take a step-back from unveiling the latest in our countdown to awesomeness and quickly recap the fifty games we’ve already discussed (usually at length) as part of our Top 100 Games of 2011 series.

Maybe you missed a few. Or perhaps you want to see what the fifty look like in a descending order of enlightenment, allowing you to get a feel for how one title faired against another. Or maybe you completely neglected to catch the hidden mouse-over text that accompanies each entry. (Note: most of these quips only make sense when viewed with the image in question, so check them out for the complete gag.) Whatever the reason, here’s #100 through to #50.
