This isn’t the first time I have complained about video game release schedules on here, where I have complained for their sparseness over ling Summer months or their over crowding towards holiday seasons. Last year I stated that we had never had it so good (or bad), but in 2011, from next week onwards we have a schedule far beyond anything I have had in my lifetime, and I feel safe to say, anyone elses.
So, these are the games I want (and certainly won’t be able to afford them all) for the remainder of the year, in alphabetical order.
Assassin’s Creed: Revelations
Batman: Arkham City
Battlefield 3
Bodycount
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
Catherine
Dark Souls
Dead Island
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Driver: San Francisco
F1 2011
FIFA 12
Football Manager 2012
Forza Motorsport 4
Gears of War 3
Goldeneye: Reloaded
Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary
Ico / Shadow of the Colossus Collection
Kinect Sports 2
Lego: Harry Potter: Years 5-7
Madden 11
Metal Gear Solid: HD Collection
NBA 2K12
Need for Speed: The Run
Rage
Resident Evil 4
Resident Evil: Code Veronica
Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City
Rise of Nightmares
Saint’s Row: The Third
Silent Hill: Downpour
Silent Hill: HD Collection
Star Fox 3DS
Street Fighter 3: Third Strike
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
The Sims 3: Pets
Trials: Evolution
Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3
Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception
That’s 39 titles, not including future games on iOS that I will want and several PSN and Xbox Live titles that are yet to be announced.
Furthermore, I have been known to love Collectors Editions, I have already pre-ordered:
Assassins Creed Revelations – Animus Edition
Batman: Arkham City – Collectors Edition
Deus Ex: Human Revolution – Collectors Edition
Forza Motorsport 4 – Collectors Edition
Gears of War 3 – Epic Edition
Gears of War 3 – Limited Edition XBox 360 Console
Lego Harry Potter: Years 5-7 – Collectors Edition
Rage – Collectors Edition
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Collectors Edition
Uncharted 3 Drakes Deception – Collectors Edition
It’s an incredibly exciting, expensive and no doubt exceptional end to the year, if not an end to the games rush as we get hit by the likes of Mass Effect 3 early on.
