Brotherhood for both. First time I saw Brotherhood's E3 trailer was right after I finished AC1 and 2 for the first time (played them back-to-back), and I nerded all over the floor when I found out you had other Assassins on your side. Back then there was talk of a "personal Assassin" so I thought I'd get to run around Rome with a kick-ass Apprentice on my six. I don't think anything can match up to that (it's also why I was very slightly disappointed with Brotherhood) Revelations had a great trailer but it didn't have the same effect on me. Also, Rome was just stunning.

Ah, 2k11. Great year. For me, the top 3 would have to be Skyrim (epic), Saints Row 3 (goddamn hilarious), and Deus Ex: Human Revolution (dem augments). Revelations comes fourth, being beat by DXHR by a narrow margin.
