VLR, Limbo, Ghost Trick and one of the games i don't know anything about with Skullgirls as a maybe

Skyrim - 2015?
OoT sounds like 2012
Black/White 2 is definitely not 2011 since that's og BW
i think RE6 is 2012
i feel like Skullgirls might be 2012 but i could see it being 2011
FE Awakening is 2013
P4G is 2012
no idea about the other games. i don't even know what dead island is

Shouldn't this be original NA release dates for Limbo and VVVVVV, both of which were actually in 2010?

---

I remember very clearly Skyrims release date was 11/11/11, and Uncharted 3 was like within a week or so of that, so those two were easy.

The others all felt vaguely like... maybe this could have been from that year but also just as easily a year earlier or later. I was pretty confident about BL2, AC3, KH3D, and RE6 not being 2011 and about Limbo and Portal 2 being 2011, but it was mostly a toss up beyond that.

I was most surprised by Gears and Duke which I thought would have been a little earlier. I associate Duke heavily with Dead Rising 2 and New Vegas, because it was another game with a bit of a casino theme to its special edition, so I figured it was the same year as them. But no, it was late to the party.

The correct answer is that time is a relativistic construct and depending on one's position inside the universe all of these games have come out, will eventually come out, or are in the process of coming out. To say nothing of variations of terrestrial calendars. And then there are games like Skyrim that have a release date like other people have tuesdays. It will outlive us all and paradoxically remain the youngest game on the list.
