1. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
It is finally within our grasps, the game that people have been talking about for years. The sequel to the game which has won many game awards, including Game of the year. Skyrim, the home of the Nords will be the setting for the new Elder Scrolls. Hopefully it will be jammed packed full of snow and fantastic mountain scenery. Not much info yet, but we do have a solid release date – 11.11.11 – weird release date (don’t know if it has something to do with Remembrance Day). This game will be a contester for the greatest game of all time in my opinion.
2. Crysis 2
Crysis 2, A Sci-Fi first person shooter game developed by Crytek, is one of the most anticipated games for 2010/2011. Crysis 2 would be the first game to use game engine 3.

Crysis 2 is set in Newyork City, where players are enabled to navigate between floors and building structures, as well as destroy the cityscape.

Crysis 2 is equipped with freedom of large number of choices including the usage of multiple power modes simultaneously and more tactical warfare, upgraded weapons. The nanosuit has been redesigned to Nanosuit 2; which is the best technological milestone of the mankind with exhilarating new features.
The storyline is still not disclosed. Hoping the story is in continuation from the original game. The developers claim that the new game will come up with catastrophically beautiful graphics. Crysis 2 will run more efficiently then the original game, easily accommodating to lower end computers.

Also news came via page 17 of an Edios report claiming that the new Hitman 5 is in development. Hitman 5 is the fifth installment in the Hitman game series.

7. Mass Effect 3
According to the project director Casey Hudson Mass Effect 3 is in its early stages of development. However, it has been confirmed that game is to be announced by late 2011. Casey Hudson latest interview with MTV revealed certain details about the upcoming Mass effect 3. The game is supposed to have an epic conclusion, which is overwhelming. Hudson also told MTV that there are about 1000 variables that are already lined up for variations in the new chapter. After quantifying the variables in the story line, Hudson has exaggerated the pre release hype for the game. Putting a huge divergence in the final chapter of trilogy would be a remarkable thing to do, from which we can sense more twist in the upcoming game.
So far revealed, the game is expected to have Richer RPG features, more combat options and more complex enemies. The developers seriously need to work at RPG features and combats as they weren’t very appealing in the ME2. We can expect that ME3 to be an excellent role playing experience, something that was quite missing in the Mass Effect 2.
8. Max Payne 3
Rock star games, which are famous for the
max Payne,
midnight club and
grand theft auto are going to release
Max Payne 3 in 2011. The game is sequel to Max Payne a shooter video game which was released in the year 2001. A reason of fame for this game is the bullet time mode where the bullet time is slowed down to such an extent that it could be seen with naked eye.
Storyline: Max Payne 3 begins with a new chapter of Max Payne, a New York City police officer who is now 12 years older and he has left NYPD, the guy is shown in new attire where he is bald and he has grown beard. The game will be plotted in Brazil where Max is working for a private security company.
9. Portal 2
We all have fond memories of Portal, whether they are of extreme happiness after completing a level or punching your computer screen because you kept on failing.I use the word memories because I have never went back to portal after completing it because I knew what to do on every level. But now that Portal 2 is coming out, I can’t wait to fill my mind with new memories! With more puzzles, more levels and more hilarious voice acting it sure will shape up to be a great game. You’ll be jumping through hoops to play it…. (Bad joke).
10. Star Wars the Old Republic
One of the best RPG’s that I have ever played is now going MMO. Many people are calling it the ‘WoW Killer’ and with the exceptional work gone into Biowares other games like The Knights of the Old Republic and Mass Effect it’s hard to see how anything can go wrong. The unique and expansive world of Star Wars is a great gaming environment as we have seen in other attempts to successfully make a good Star Wars MMO. Star Wars Galaxies was the last Star Wars MMO but it failed because of poor player support.
But Bioware, as we all know do have some MMO experience, like
Warhammer online, which did have its flaws but was a really great game in my eyes. Bioware are experts in incorporating in depth and enthralling character conversations into their games which is something they have put into Star Wars the Old Republic. The game is due for release in Q1/Q2 of 2011.
Terus campaign-nya juga ada 2 di game ini, yaitu Decepticon dan Autobot, jadi kalian bisa merasakan memainkan 2 peran yang berbeda, ya.. the good side and the bad side.
