    If 2011 is remembered for one thing, it might just be the deluge of popular game franchises that made their way to Facebook.

    2011 was a great year for great games, but we wouldn't have those great games if it wasn't for great developers. And while our "best of" lists normally try to count down the best of the best and pick a winner, when it comes to good game development, we're all winners.

    While it's been around for almost as long as Apple's App Store, the Android Market really came into its own in 2011.

It's also the year that we started covering Android gaming here at Gamezebo, so you know that has to mean something special.
