If, after reading this list, you still need further proof that 2011 will be one of the best years in gaming history, then, well, I don't know what to tell you. Get a new hobby. 2011 is going to be ridiculous.
The GOTY Front-Runners. If that's not a murderer's row of kick-ass, I don't know what is. That's five (5) highly anticipated sequels with impeccable pedigrees, and if these games follow the pattern of their previous installments - i.e., the sequels are leaps and bounds ahead of the original, already-incredible games - then we're all having nervous breakdowns by the end of the year.
- Uncharted 3
- Portal 2
- Elder Scrolls 5
- Mass Effect 3
- Batman: Arkham City
The Must-Plays. Look,
something's got to miss the top 5, and I had a hard time putting any of these games on this list and not the list above. I fully expect all of these games to be amazing, and I'll most likely start pre-ordering them after I'm done with this post.
- Gears of War 3
- Dead Space 2
- Rage
- Forza 4
- Little Big Planet 2
- Deus Ex: HR
- Ico/Shadow of the Colossus HD
- The Last Guardian
The Definite Rentals: I'm curious, and I want to know more. I'm a little wary of the SSX title, as I'm hearing rumors that it will incorporate similar thumbstick controls to "Skate", which is the exact opposite of what I want an SSX title to be
- Bulletstorm
- Killzone 3
- Crysis 2
- SSX: Deadly Descents
- Test Drive Unlimited 2
- You Don't Know Jack
- Brink
- L.A. Noire
The Great Excuses to Fire Up The PC:
- Torchlight 2
- Dragon Age 2
The Game I Am Very Much Afraid Of:
- Star Wars: The Old Republic
If These Games Make Their 2011 Release Dates, I Will Be Impressed:
- Max Payne 3
- Duke Nukem Forever
- Diablo 3
- L.A. Noire
