I’m just going to go ahead and get this out of the way now.
2010 isn’t even over yet, and already I am kind of freaking out about the kind of year 2011 has in store for us. We’ve been saying it a lot over the last few weeks, and you’ll just have to bear with us, because we’ll be saying it a lot over the next few months as well: 2011 is going to be a tornado of gaming. It will be so crazy you may slap a bear in the face. And trust me, that’s crazy.
I promise we’ll try not to talk about Uncharted 3, Mass Effect 3 and Portal 2 too much. But it’ll be difficult. So, in an effort not to overdo the hype and the excitement, I feel like it’s best to just have an official topic dedicated to the list of 2011 games. Kotaku recently posted the entire thing, and it’s even crazier when you see it all together.
Hit the jump to see the full thing!

too… many… great… games… must quit job, study and social life… FFFUUUUUUU
Best year of games ever right there. This year’s second half was nothing compared to past, and I’m glad that next year is going to be a lot better.
where the hell is guild wars?
Argh. There’s still a crappy summer game drought, but then again there always is. At least the other seasons are seeing some extreme love.
It also looks like a sucky year for Wii owners. Only four games are coming out next year, and they’re mostly B-list titles.
March and Q4 (notably November), will kill my wallet. Dragon Age 2, Shogun 2,Deus Ex, Crysis 2, Mass Effect 3, Elder Scrolls V. So many games, so little time.
Man if Valve announces Episode 3 next year…
Oh fuck… I count 16 that I want, and I can only really afford to let one or two of those out of sight (sorry Crysis, Deus Ex looks WAY better and LBP2? Why must you come out so near Dead Space 2 and Killzone 3? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?). I’ve got to say though, I’m glad that there has been a recent rise in the amount of RPGs as of late. For me next year could be the year of the RPG.
Whar is InFamous 2? Don’t tell me that’s been delayed until 2012. I’d hate to see it compete with Prototype again.
