A decent cricket game (possibly using Kinect, that'd be cool) but I'm not holding my breath.

After looking through the eurogamer release dates page, the usual suspects are all there but one thing that sticks out is:
Battlestar Galactic MMO http://www.eurogamer.net/game/battlestar-galactica-online-mmo - anything that puts me in a cockpit of a Viper is 'a good thing'.

Civilization Wolds - A Facebook game which is in grave danger of being good as it's from Sid Mier & 2kGames.

Nintendo 3DS - will probably be the big news this year, could this be the game changer?

As a bit of a Bioware fanboy I would have to go for Dragon Age 2 and Mass Effect 3 as my most anticipated games of 2011.

Having said that, there's plenty to get excited about elsewhere. LA Noire looks amazing, particularly if you're a fan of Mad Men, as it features the acting talents of Aaron Staton and Michael Gladis (Ken Cosgrove and Paul Kinsey in the show). The Last Guardian looks stunning although since I have never played a Team Ico game before, I may well go for the Team Ico Collection first. There is also the possibility that I might buy my first Wii game since the first Mario Galaxy in 2007 if Nintendo manage to get Zelda Skyward Sword out. Finally, I hope that Decay will come to a satisfying conclusion.

But before any of that, I still haven't played Red Dead Redemption, Alan Wake or Assassins Creed Brotherhood. Backlogs FTW!!!

Saints Row 3 please? Lost Planet 3 Please? Blink 182 Guitar Hero! For the love of God please! I don't even like music games but this would change my mind!

Brink looks fun, L.A Noire looks set to be a big hitter, Test Drive 2 looks 'slick'.

Armageddon! Oh wait... this is about games... right right...

I'm very much looking forward to Test Drive Unlimited 2 because I put so many hours into the first one but everything else is kind of meh for me. I guess Bulletstorm has gradually grown in appeal with me because I miss playing games that know they are games and are all about the fun. Since it's not out yet, The Dishwasher 2 - Vampire Smile because the first game kicked so much ass and the second looks to be even better. I expect there will be a lot of titles coming out that have next to no advertising/marketing that will be quite good as well.

I was, and still am, looking forward to Brink, it was number 1 on my most wanted list, that was until I saw the trailer to LA Noire, it looks like it could be a bit special.
