The 2011 Hex19 Awards
January 26, 2012 at 12:56 PM 
Yes, it's that time of year again. By again, we actually mean for the first time. Welcome to the 1st Annual Hex19 Awards for Geek Culture! On this episode of the show we honor our favorite video games, movies and TV shows of 2011 (and much more). There are a few rules for eligibility. The award winners must have been released during the 2011 calendar year. In the case of television, we try to only judge the episodes that have been released in 2011. Also, we don't get a chance to see and play everything; we can only award things that we know. If there's something awesome that you think we missed out on, send an email to hex19show@gmail.com, and we'll check it out. You can subscribe to the Hex19 Geekcast on iTunes / RSS, or stream the episode after the break, where a full list of nominees and award winners is available.

Just for the record, I do think that Dragon Age 2 was by far the worst sequel of the year, but I still preferred Arkham Asylum to Arkham City.
