2011: The Best Year For Games? Part One


We've had a pretty decent run of games this year- Red Dead Redemption, Halo Reach, Call of Duty Black Ops, Mass Effect 2 and more to come, but NEXT year seems to be shaping up to be something quite different altogether. Join me as I take a look at which titles gamers should be excited about in 2011...

MARVEL VS CAPCOM 3: FATE OF TWO WORLDS- Though it has got one hell of a title, the next in the popular beat-em-up series looks set to provide the best graphics, game-play and online lifespan yet, with heroes such as Spider-Man, Hulk, Ryu and Nathan Drake all set to fight it out in arenas form both universes! (360, PS3, Out Spring 2011)

STAR WARS: THE OLD REPUBLIC- Star Wars games have improved ever since LEGO Star Wars in 2005 to the point where Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (and its sequel, which has been getting solid 7s and 8s from critics) showed the full extent of the Force. But there was a time, believe it or not, where the saga adaptations didn't need improving- namely Knights of the Old Republic- and this online role-play game may provide the ultimate multi-player Star Wars experience. (PC, Summer 2011)

THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: SKYWARD SWORD- As Mario has hit his platforming high on Wii with Super Mario Galaxy 2 (10/10), it's time for fan favourite Nintendo icon Link to return to the limelight in the company's big hitter for 2011. Set in the Hyrule hardcore followers know and love, Skyward Sword will use the Wii MotionPlus to its full potential for sword-play and archery, so expect good things! (Wii, Summer 2011)

GEARS OF WAR 3- The climax to a grand trilogy of Xbox 360 exclusives, Gears Of War 3 was pushed back in order to allow for a near-perfect finale next year packing an emotional plot, tight weapon mechanics and online modes with endless replayability. Aside from Kinect, this is the game Microsoft are pushing in 2011. (360, Autumn 2011)
