VGW: You know, we were really looking forward to writing about this month. After our time at PAX East, we were sure that May was going to go down in history as one of, if not the greatest month in the history of the gaming industry. Then something happened: the AAA titles began to slide to June instead. It all started with Dungeon Siege III and Duke Nukem Forever, but soon enough Red Faction: Armageddon and F.3.A.R. joined them as official June 2011 releases.
Despite all of these release date relocations, May 2011 is far from bare. Check out our picks for what we here at VGW think you should be excited for over the next several weeks and let us know what else we should have our eyes open for!
Members of the original development team behind Rockstar Games' LA Noire are working on a new psychological thriller called Sowden House.
Hopefully McNamara is as far away from this as possible he set up shop in Australia then did nothing but complain about Australian labour laws while trying to make his workers live at the office working 24/7 on la noire punishing them for leaving at 3 am and being 10 minutes late to work at 9am the next day.
It's astonishing that none of the workers went to the fair work ombudsman as the studio would have been fined astronomical numbers
Brendan McNamara is a brilliant writer and director but he should never, ever be in charge of a studio. What he did to those devs was far beyond "crunch", and it went on for, what, 7 years? That's insane.
But I'm glad to see some of that team have come together again to create something new. A psychological thriller sounds right up my alley.

Would love to see a sequel to the 7th gen FPS campaign SINGULARITY from RAVEN Software..
L.A. Noire and Dirt 3 :)
I hope Brink is good and has a solid player base.
L.A Noire And Maybe Brink (Depending on reviews)
Personally, DiRT 3 is way up on my list.
Already got LA Noire pre ordered, and paid off. And, I'ma be going to go get Brink as well.
Not a bad month for games, not bad at all. Two of my most anticipated games, this month. :)
