Games Im Looking At for 2011

2011is finally here and with that a whole new year to make things better for ourselves and for our families. It also means a brand new start for video game companies to pump up their products and this year is as good as any other that I can recently remember. Now I know everyone is expecting great things from well known franchises like Gears of War and Mass Effect and Little Big Planet. These 5 games are the ones that I personally am looking for and am hoping to see big things. Lets take a look at the list.

Our favorite super heroes and villians are back in an epic battle to determine the fate of 2 worlds. Seriously...part of the title of the game is Fate of Two Worlds. It might sound silly but the game looks to be anything but...All our favorite characters from Capcom games and Marvel comics are back with a few new ones sprinkled in. Visually it looks awesome, taking a page from Street Fighter IV and obviously the gameplay is where its gonna the interesting part. Of course the online portion of this game will be active on day 1 and will continue until the next installment comes out. Supposedly the full roster of characters will be around 40 with DLC to include even more characters.

 

I know we have games like Grand Theft Auto and Max Payne that set the standard for Rockstar Games. They may have upped the ante with this title. If these guys can make the Old West look good in Red Dead Redemption, it'll be crazy to see what they come up with for L.A. Noire. A Crime Thriller thats set in the 1940s Los Angeles that not only looks great but may have a story that rivals Red Dead Redemption.

 

An MMO thats not named World of Warcraft. I know I know...we've seen this before. An MMO in the Star Wars universe has been already tried and it just didnt live up to the hype. Well...hopefully this one is different and since Bioware is behind the reigns on this one, I do have hope that this will rival WoW. Gameplay wise, it's supposed to be up to par and looks to be solid from the previews that I have read so there is promise to this game to last for a long time.

O.k....who thought a simple game where the only tool you use is a gun that lays out portals would be fun. Not only was it fun but it was addicting. How can they follow this up for sequel? How about adding a 2nd player into the mix. With the crazy dialogue from GLaDOS and the insane puzzles that Valve can come up with, this game should provide endless hours of laughter, frustration and insane competitiveness among friends to top each other's scores.

 

Bethesda is really good with RPGs so this game will probably do well. Oblivion was huge and this will probably be bigger. I think it will be interesting to see how the gameplay will be improved as well as rpg elements that this game will demand.

So thats my list of games that I am looking forward to for this upcoming year. What are some of your games that you want to see do well?
