I'm looking at all these sequals to games I recognize and say, "I'm not alone??? I am...so happy!" Anyway, glad I saw this thread. Actually, I'm most surprised that there are Bioware game fans out there like mass effect and swtor. Never knew until today. I can't wait for any of these games. (No joke)
Postal 3 = Postal 3. Not Portal 2. Go look up Postal. And laugh at the Kitty Silencer. hehehe...
Anyways, I too am a HUGE fan of Bioware, but I've kinda been moving away from them since ME1. Dragon Age was alright, definitely was enjoyable, but I think Achievement whoring on X360 really took its toll on me. In general, I still haven't even played ME2, DA:O, Assassin Creed 2 & Brotherhood. In less than 1.4 years I achieved over 66k gamerscore, and for what? Half the games I didn't enjoy because I moved on to the next so quickly and I felt like I was wasting 60$ of my money to play a game for 6-20 hours for 1k score... where as back in the day, on my PS1 with Final Fantasy Tactics, I cycled that 99 hour save-clock several times on 1 savefile alone. I must have put in 3 solid summer months of FFT, nerding it up and poaching 99 Ribbons(which meant raising a minimum of 99 of 1 of the rarest monsters), level blasting my characters to a perfect 99 all stats / 999 health and mana / 97 brave / 3? Faith on every single character.
I'm glad I got rid of my X360 over a year ago, but I still feel that... void... games mostly still don't make me want to play them for 30 hours straight anymore.
I recently picked up The Witcher Enhanced Edition for dirt cheap on Steam and also picked up Neverwinter Nights 2 for cheap on Steam as well(loved NWN1). My fave Bioware game of all time still remains as Baldurs Gate 2 and the expansion, Throne of Bhaal.
Witcher 2 looks good, aswell. Also looking forward to the Warhammer games, Space Marine and the expansion, Retribution, to Dawn of War 2.
I don't think we'll have any news about it in 2011, but I'd love to see Hitman 5. I really enjoyed each of these games, even though the movie was lame.
I'd also like to see if EA finally decided to do Project Red(lime), the sequel to Syndicate Wars...
I'm eager to see Diablo 3 and the first SC2 expansion, of course, and I'd like to see the next games from Bethesda and Bioware too. I've played Mass Effect a bit but I don't like it (I mean it's an excellent game but I don't like the story/background, so I never went very far), it would be cool if Bioware makes a sequel to NWN2, or even another new license... They're really good in roleplaying games, so is Blizzard in strategy games.
I got bored of Ubisoft when I wasted 60€ on AC2, which kept losing my savegames and crashing the game because of their shitty protections and lame servers... I haven't played Brotherhood yet, even if I really want to, because I'm pretty sure there are still connection issues in this game.
I kind of enjoyed Darksiders, so if there is a sequel to this game it might be interesting to give it a try. I'd love to see a new MtG game too, there is one available on Steam already but it lacks several features (custom deck creation for example) which makes it a really lame game for now. They keep releasing pointless DLCs by dozens instead of really improving the game...
Funny you should mention deck creation. That's the reason I don't buy Duels of the Planeswalkers. MTG is all about making your own deck, not playing with pre-made ones(unless of course you're starting out for the first time, sure, use a starter deck, but eventually they all make their own).
Oh, another game that's looking better and better, is Marvel VS Capcom 3. They just revealed 2 more characters, Mike Haggar and
Arrh... Seems like you misunderstood me. I was saying the latest MtG game sucks BECAUSE there is no deck customization... Actually the game lacks so many features, it is boring and pointless! ;)
It took me ages to remember and find the name of that game, but I hope it will come out in 2011 since the development started last year:
Renaissance (by Cyanide Studios)
There isn't much info yet, but from what I've read and seen on Gamekult, it looks very promising. I also just noticed there will be a new Neverwinter game (named "Neverwinter", how original!) that should be out this year. It seems to be a MMO though...
I wonder if we'll get to Esgaroth, Lonely Mountain, Rhûn, Grey Hills, Angmar, Khand, Iron Hills, Dol Guldur... those places have a lot of potential that hasn't been used yet (as far as I know). This game would be the perfect opportunity :).
TES5: Skyrim. Though given how bad Oblivion was, I'm not going to get overhyped.
Dragon Age 2. Might wait a while to see how reviews place it. DA1 was great but the expansion was awful. If they continue this downward trend, I won't bother.
Bioshock: Infinity. Another "wait and see reviews" game. BS1 was infinitely better than BS2, another potential downward trend.
Diablo 3. Will be getting this regardless of reviews.
End of Nations. Looks like it has potential to be good, but also potential to be horrifically bad. Putting this in the "Wait and see reviews" pile.
Nothing else really seems too exciting.

Here's an updated version of mine, I found some new games that looked interesting. There are in order of what I am looking forward to the most.
I should start a video game thread talking about upcoming games and stuff in the General Chat or Off topic section. I'm good at blogging. ^_^
Edit: I just realized that this was titled to this years games, sorry!

LOTR Conquest was kind of boring, I hope this one is better. :)
WHoA, that sure looks promising.

Diablo 3 for certain.
Anyone for Modern Warfare 3 in November?
EDIT: Wow, I just did a week bump :P
