Alarmingly, I was looking through a release schedule in Games TM and saw exactly nothing I was excited about for the whole of 2011!!!

Other than LA Noire, is 2011 gonna be a washout out for me? Is this the price to pay for an awesome 2010????

So what SHOULD I be getting excited about, nerds?

Although I thought Little Big Planet was a million miles wide of hitting the spot for me, I've seen some impressive stuff from the beta the last few days. If people can string together custom levels into mini games instead of the odd semi decent levels that were created by the first game, it could really have some legs. Not entirely convinced at the moment though.

L.A Noire does indeed look like it might be something special. Later in the year there is Gears 3 of course. Although it is fairly generic stuff, it is one of those games I love playing co-op with a mate, so is always worth a purchase for me.

Uncharted 3 could well turn out to be nice as well, but I'm hoping it moves towards Tomb Raider territory and away from being a shooter - although I'm sure that's wishful thinking.

But yeah, otherwise it looks to be a sparse year to be fair. I'm hoping MS have some surprises at E3 as they have tended to keep things close to their chest until closer to release dates these days. Fuck all from Nntendo of course, apart from Zelda - but I doubt that will throw up any surprises.

Well there is certainly a few things I'm looking forward too: -

3DS (new Resi Evil Revilations and Zelda Ocarina of Time)
Batman Arkham City
Dead Space 2
Zelda Skyward Sword
Gears of War 3
Uncharted 3 (have to borrow a PS3 though, like I did to play 1&2)
The Last Guardian (as above)

Any of that float your boat Juz? Would have though Bullet Storm would have been right up your street too?

I love Zelda and I have no problem with Ninty churning out more of the same.

I struggle to see the relentness need for innovation all the time. Like video games/tech/AV etc doesn't move fast enough already. But then I'm just an old foggey I suppose.

Oh don't get me wrong - when it comes to Zelda, more of the same is fine by me. But for someone like Juz, I doubt it will do anything new or exciting to get someone who doesn't own a Wii, all hot under the collar.

Hmmn... Gears of War 3 and Uncharted for shizzle ....but neither of them are super-wanted by me nor nicely densely filled open-worlders that'll last me for ages.

Retro's spot on re: Zelda- I found Twilght Princess a bore.

Anything else? Oh yeah, Bulletstorm does look pretty smart ;)

Looks like there's a fair few big sequels coming out this year. I'm looking forward to Deus Ex, Aliens: Colonial Marines (the DNF of my generation), the new Test Drive, Crysis 3 and the new elder scrolls (too much about the Capital Wasteland these days, let's get back to some old fashioned slashin'!)

Crysis 3 looks good, yes. As for another Oblivion....meh, I just can't do the whole D&D styled stuff. Wish I could.

Is that Rage coming out in 2011 cos that looked interesting?

Yeah, lash, kick shoot, repeat

A rental at most

Crysis demon- not sure, id only be getting it for single player so best reserve judgement (mind I like the jump, grab, pull up)

Arkham is still the only game I have played and completed on Hard and can not wait for city
It captured Batman better than anything else
