Got To Get 'em!

[ATiElite]

I would seriously remove Brink and Mortal Kombat, Duke Nukem Forever, MAYBE L4D and insert Red Orchestra 2, The Witcher 2, Star Wars: The Old Republic, and Gears 3.

Gears is the best 3rdPS shooter series there is and Red Orchestra is the greatest WWII shooter ever. The Witcher 2 is RPG GOTY material with maybe only Skyrim standing in it's way as The Witcher is a classic RPG along the lines of Morrowind for RPG greatness. These three games have proven quality and INNOVATION in game play. SW:ToR would replace L4D because TOR is offering up the entire SW universe like we have never seen before plus added a TON of real time action to the MMO genre.

Brink has a great art style but the game play is nothing new. MK same game we been playing for 14 years and Duke Nukem Forever will probably be most remembered for being vaporware with a punchline, L4D is awesome co-op game play but every shooter 2day now has Zombie DLC (because of L4D) but i just feel these other 4 games are like the rest of the list are bringing something new to video games.

Add these four and the list is awesome! Dead Island gets to stay because of the melee, no ammo, real survival horror aspect that's been missing since RE.

I did overlook Gears and The Withcer i admit to that. I haven't touched my 360 other than for L4D lately so i forgot about Gears, same goes for PC games.

I don't know how your comparing L4D to The Old Republic though. Two very different gametypes and very different gameplay.

I'm not looking forward to old republic or orchestra though sorry. WWII games need to stop being produced unless they take an approach like The Saboteur or RFOM did. The only MMO i feel like dedicating my time to is going to be Guild Wars 2.

I love Mortal Kombat!

[MostJadedGamer]

I dont have any interest in any of those games. I am just really losing my interest in games.

Hopefully their will be games at E3 that interest me.

That comment regarding MK is so ignorant I lol'd. MK is one of the few fighting games that has changed it's core engine(which is bad) so many times that you might as well lump them into their own series. Hardly the same game you've been playing for 14 years, unless you haven't actually been playing them.

[rabidpancakeburglar]

Definitely getting at least 6 of those, number could increase depending on review scores or how I'm feeling when one is released

[realiks]

Managed to cut this list only to:
LA Noire
Battlefield 3
Uncharted 3
Batman AC

Imagine the geeks who play all of these and then still complain about the imaginary 'summer drought' of games.

[AntiHeroComplex]

why only an honorble mention for deus ex ?

[KDubyah]

I just mean that as in, the first games I listed are my 'anticipated' titles.
Except for 'The Last Guardian,' I wasn't aware that I had put that up there.
Though, every game I listed are titles I want to get, that's fer sure..

Though, mainly, at the moment, it's just because I haven't seen much on it.
It comes out later this year, so it's subject to change, and I imagine it will.
I've loved the past Deus Ex games, and I'm sure this will be the samee ..
I've personally only seen two videos of the game, do you know of more?

[AntiHeroComplex]

why are games that havent come out listed? You dont know if the game is any good before you play it so this list is really fucking stupid.

[I_Guts_I]

this... lol

[TheLastGuardian]

Meh, list needs more PS3 exclusives. This list has too many shooters and too many multiplats. Twisted Metal is more of a must buy than all other 2011 games. I have way better taste in games than most gamers.
