Google, overlord of the internet and everything else, has made public every term searched with their engine along with the searcher’s identity and a handy address book for quick referencing. Just kidding, but if your heart just skipped a beat, turn on safesearch and stop being creepy.<\/p>\n
What Google has actually done is release the most searched for terms of 2011, and relevant to our interests, the top ten searched gaming terms for the year. While a lot of the list may not surprise you, such as Activision mainstays Black Ops and Call of Duty, what will surprise most are blockbusters like Skyrim and Battlefield 3 coming in 6th and 7th respectively, behind the likes of Halo: Reach and Super Mario. Perhaps most puzzling, Modern Warfare didn’t make the list at all.<\/p>\n
Mortal Kombat also makes an out-of-nowhere appearance at number 5, but it could just be creepy people like you looking for wallpapers of Sonya Blade in short shorts (you know who you are).<\/p>\n
The number one online game search is \u201cwow\u201d, but this result could be fudged by the less computer-literate (read: elderly) using Google to look for entertainment.<\/p>\n
