10 Games to look forward to in 2011

2011 is looking to be quite a good year for gaming with some massive titles dropping in the early portion of the new cycle. Here is a list of some of the games that you SHOULD pick up in the new year, even if it means begging or working 10 jobs to buy them all.

[IllusionRSN]

I can't wait for L.A. Noire to come out! Nice list of games btw.

[joydestroy]

ha yeah i was gonna say it's been a while since i've seen a list i can say is even close to perfect =)

[RBlaze]

How, in the holy mother of F**k, is Gears 3 not on this list?!

I mean, the game might not be everybodies cup of tea, but that is the same FOR EVERY SINGLE GAME! Some games suit certain gamers, and others don't! But to not include that game on a list like this is INSANE.

And ok, ok, I know this is an opinion, but it just doesn't make sense! There are LOADS more games coming out next year that i'm sure loads of people are more than psyched for! Gears, Elder Scrolls, Mass Effect, PORTAL just to name a few!

Good list of games to look forward to, but it shoulda been made a little bigger! This list misses some of the (undoubtedly) most anticipated games of next year!

EDIT: And what about MK?!

[MerkinMax]

2011 is way too packed with quality games to limit it down to 10.

[joydestroy]

i think sltPoison is right. there's just too many quality titles releasing next year

[NoBias]

2011 + Owning PS3&360 = Expensive Win

[Acquiescence]

will be absurdly good. GOTY contender in the making.

[Pixel_Enemy]

Contender yes, but it has some strong competition that's for sure. LBP2 and Uncharted 3 are titans

[Tachyon_Nova]

There's more than 10 to look forward to, try 30 or so...

Batman 2, Crysis 2, Dirt 3, Elder Scrolls 5, Battlefield 3, Killzone 3, Infamous 2, Uncharted 3, TLG, LA Noire, Brink, Bulletstorm, Homefront, Dead Space 2, Deus Ex 3, Dragon age 2, Ghost Recon FS, LBP 2, Motorstorm 3, Op Flashpoint 3, Portal 2, Red Faction 4, Ratchet and Clank: all 4 one, Gears 3, Resistance 3, True Crime HK, Twisted Metal...

Any I've forgotten?

[Exquisik]

That's a great list...out of all those games, I probably won't pick up Dirt 3, Brink, Homefront, Ghost Recon FS, OP Flashpoint 3, Red Faction 4, and True Crime HK.

I would add Ico/SotC Collection, Ni No Kuni (hopefully it gets released next year!), Rage, Sorcery, Mortal Kombat, Marvel vs Capcom 3 (though I'm hesitating on this one because there might be a Super Marvel vs Capcom 3, if I know Capcom well enough), Catherine, Mass Effect 3, and Yakuza 4.

Dang...that's an average of 2.2 games per month...2011 will be the year I'll spend the most money ever on video games, surpassing 2006 when I bought the PS3, the Wii, and games for the 360.

[Tachyon_Nova]

Rage and Mass Effect 3 should have been on my list. Ico collection as well, although i must admit I'm not hyped for it at all having never played them

[Matthew94]

where is portal 2??

[Washington-Capitals]

How about Uncharted 3 and The Old Republic

[Matthew94]

so this list fails then. needed to be top 15 or 20

[DigitalRaptor]

It's not top anything.

It's just a list of great games coming next year. If you had to name them all, it would be "25+ Games to look forward to in 2011"

[UnSelf]

top 10 games to get next year:

Motorstorm Apocalypse
Killzone 3
Uncharted 3
Infamous 2
LBP2
The Last Guardian
Gears of War 3
Mass Effect 3
Marvel vs Capcom 3
Resistance 3

[SSKILLZ]

*cough* Ni No Kuni ^_^

[tacosRcool]

My ultimate game for 2011 (despite all the super awesome games) is Elder Scrolls V.

[Sub-Zero85]

Give me Mortal Kombat over MvC3

[UnSelf]

here u go

[Exquisik]

[Thecraft1989]

Diablo 3 will never be out next year are you on crack ?

[Speed-Racer]

As it is, there are actually quite a number of very hawt games coming out in 2k11. Maybe 10 is too few to count them all in.

[D-Lite1]

Wheres InFamous 2 -__-

[Acquiescence]

But this is what's getting my juices flowing for next year.

The Last Guardian
L.A. Noire
The Team ICO Collection
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
Silent Hill 8
Catherine
LittleBigPlanet 2
Yakuza 4
Night Of The Sacrifice
The Dreamcast Collection

Honourable mentions got to El Shaddai: Ascension Of The Metatron, Infamous 2, Journey, Duke Nukem Forever, Ni no Kuni, Gray Matter, whatever Revolution's new game is going to be, Twisted Metal and Mortal Kombat.

Cheers.

Edit: How could I forget Infamous 2. I need another job lol.

[billybob2468]

What about skyrim?!? m(>.<)m

[cranium]

Needs more The Last Guardian. It's my most anticipated game next year. I'd replace KZ3 with it, but that's just because I dislike most FPS games. Good list overall, though.

[Reckless718]

damn what about twisted metal

[Hellsvacancy]

Thats a nice list of (pretty much) PS3 games to look 4ward to next year, shame no Hitman V though (my most anticipated game ever), I-O said it would b out b4 Xmas next year

MEGA lookin 4ward to Dues Ex, isnt Rage supposed to b released next September? and what about Project Dark? thatll b out in 2011 im sure

Dead Space 2 is a rental for me, LOVED the 1st game, bought it day 1, but im thinkin *its gonna b like the Saw movies, the 1st film was awesome then they got worse and worse as they went on* more of the same in other words

Edit: Cranium, http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

[cranium]

Holy shit when did they announce a new Hitman?! Can't wait for it!

[Inane_Asylum]

LOL!

Direct from the article: "It is the sequel to Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. Uncharted 3 will see protagonist Nathan Drake and mentor Victor Sullivan travelling around the world[3] to such places as the Rub’al Khali desert, in search of the legendary lost city, the Iram of the Pillars."

Now class, who can find the blatant evidence of copy pasta journalism?

[aviator189]

A list of 10 isn't enough for 2011.

[jdktech2010]

Fail list is fail...not saying those games aren't good but for a list that doesn't have:

Gears 3, Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect 3 and Elder Scrolls V with last but not least the Old Republic

This list fails

Good to see UC3 and KZ3 though

Battlefield 3
Tera
Red Orchestra: Heroes of Stalingrad
DotA 2

[Exquisik]

I don't think Battlefield 3 is exclusive to the PC.

[CombineElite]

Well DICE has already mentioned that the updated Frostbite 2 engine has been stripped of it's DX9 code so only DX10 and DX11 graphics cards will work.

So like Bad Company 2 the PC version will be PC specific, technically not a PC exclusive but BF3 PC gets made first then they will port it to the consoles which is how it should be done.
