I totally agree, I saw that Steel Battalion is being made for the connect but there are no game play vids yet. If they can adapt a game with the largest and most complex controller for the xbox into a good title without a controller then I would consider getting a Kinect.Hamster at Dawn said:

I'm not looking forward to ALOT of different games, but the ones i'm waiting for are big deals to me.
1. The Old Republic. (Been waiting for a new KoToR fix since i finished KotoR2. I WANTED a standalone RPG, but, this will do. And it sounds epic...)
2. Mass Effect 3. (I was late to the party with Mass Effect, and I think that kind of worked into my favor. I accually didn't even play ME1 until well after ME2 was released. On a lark i got ME1 off steam for like 10 bucks. It was epic. I beat it in a week, then got ME2, and played them back to back, for my very first play though. And, after all that, ME3 is on the horizen... rock on!)
3. Batman Arkum City. (Belive it or not, i was late to this party too. *shrug* too much of my time for the last 6 years was spent on MMORPG's (COH mainly, with CO and STO mixed in). I only played the first one about 3 months ago. Epic. Then i hear about a new one. SWEET.)
Them are the only 3 i'm really eagerly awaiting. I'll prolly pick up Pokemon black or white this weekend, just because, (I do enjoy pokemon, but anymore it's almost like tradition.).

I'm not looking forward to dick this year.
Maybe Deus Ex: Human Revolution. But beyond that, it's hard to get genuinely interested, nevermind excited, for anything.
The most fun I've had this year with new product, is with an incredibly buggy game.
Not a good start; not a good start AT ALL.
Lets start there.
*paste* (Green_dude's list)
-Mass Effect 3 (Meh. ME2 was ok. That's it.)
-Deus Ex: HR (This game I have interest in. Why? Because Eidos-Montreal has been given free reign of development. Still, it carries the taint of Square-Enix, who hasn't published a SINGLE GOOD FUCKING GAME IN 3 YEARS)
-Dragon Age 2 (Don't care about Dragon Age...ironic when I consider my love of dragons...but I also don't care about this)
-Pokemon Black/White (Pokemon again. Jeez. We just got more of these LAST YEAR.)
-Portal 2 (At least the puzzles will be good. The memes will irritate the shit out of me though)
-Valves other two games (uh, I don't ever assume a company will automatically make good games. I've watched the quality of industry leaders plummet and tumble before. Sorry, I've been stung too many times to buy into blind-loyalty. Remember: Ion Storm made Deus Ex, but they also made Daikatana.)
-The Witcher 2 (I've no idea what this game is about honestly. I'll look into it later)
WH40K: Space Marine (It's Warhammer. Not my style.)
-Bulletstorm (Saw it. It's "Lasso n Sheamus-Kick: The game". The gameplay will satisfy if you ever fancied a game where Scorpion from Mortal Kombat wielded a gun to fight mooks. Still it has a good sense of humor about it, but otherwise nothing special.)
-Duke Nukem Forever (If anyone thinks this game has 13 years of contiguous development behind it, they are a fool. Don't think in terms of 13 years of expectations; think more of 2-3 years.)
-RAGE (id Software makes amazing technical engines; but fairly bland games.)
-Brink (neat concept at least; playing from the perspective of both sides)
-TESV (*sigh* The hype alone from this fucking game boils my blood. I DESPISE the blind loyalty Bethesda gets when their games have been buggy, bland, graphical shine-fests with no depth.)
Huh, now this one I didn't even hear about until now:
*Mechwarrior reboot (if it gets past the legal trouble)*
A bit of personal history:
FASA Corp introduced me to two of my great gaming loves:
1) Shadowrun
2) BattleTech/MechWarrior (or more specifically, robot warfare)
I admit: Mechwarrior wasn't ever particularly deep, but it was genuinely fun. I love putting volleys of missile and laser fire into enemy ranks. I love the looks of the machines, how they move, and the idea of customization.
Onto the reboot:
Microsoft picked up both Mechwarrior and Shadowrun for a song when FASA disintegrated. (well, they nabbed Shadowrun after tabletop game publisher WizKidz was done raping it. By the time Microsoft acquired Shadowrun, it was already broken beyond repair and the fans had already moved on. Of course, it didn't help that Microsoft pissed on its corpse with a game that, while decent on its own merits, TOTALLY WASN'T SHADOWRUN AT ALL).
So...how will they handle Mechwarrior after all this time? For now, all I can say is this:
Hopefully better than how Squeenix handled Front Mission.
Maybe Deus Ex: Human Revolution. But beyond that, it's hard to get genuinely interested, nevermind excited, for anything.

Your list is convenient. I thank you in advance.green_dude said:

Catherine, Skyrim, ME3, Duken Nukem, Black/White, P2P, Deus Ex 3, DA2, Disgaea 4....I'd say I'm pretty pumped.
This year will quite possibly be one of the best in gaming, So many games, and if they live up to their hype, which we can only hope they will, they will make this a crowning year in gaming, so here's my list, which will quite possibly require me to sell a kidney or two to keep up with the releases:
Mass Effect 3, Portal 2, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, Batman: Arkham City, Dissidia Duodecim (As a challenge to all of those who say Square Enix hasn't made a good game, and simply because it's a PSP game without rival in it's genre, and there's nothing else like it) Red Faction: Armageddon, Zelda Skyward Sword
*If it comes out this year, which i dont believe it will Assassins Creed 3 and Diablo 3*

Aaaand a two month old thread.
Whatever.
OT: Yes, 2011 will probably be the best year of gaming.
Kind of like how 2010 was the best year of gaming.
Kind of like how 2009 was the best year of gaming.
Kind of like how 2008 was the best year of gaming.
Kind of like how 2007 was the best year of gaming.
Kind of like how 2006... get my drift?
