Crysis 2
Expected: March 22, 2011
Easily one of the most visually stunning games that is expected this year, Crysis 2 is easily one of the hottest games set to launch for all platforms. Whether you played the first two games or not, it doesn't matter, as Crysis 2 starts a whole new chapter in the franchise. It's now set in an urban city resembling New York where you battle the alien scum with your new and improved Nanosuit 2.0.
The new suit clubs some of the powers seen in the first and also introduces new ones to give you an edge in battle. Although it's launching for the consoles as well, Crysis was designed to be played with a keyboard and mouse as are any FPS titles. Also, the PC version should look a lot better as we aren't limited to the older hardware on the consoles.
Dead Space 2
Expected: January 25, 2011
One of the creepiest games since Doom 3, Dead Space won the hearts of every horror/action video game fanatic when it made its debut back in 2008. Three years down the line and Visceral Games is ready with the sequel. The sequel takes place on a space station called the Sprawl, which soon gets infected by the Necromorphs. We will also see a Multiplayer component being added to give the game some replay value.
Mass Effect 3
Expected : Q1 2011
Mass Effect 3 is coming and for all those who have enjoyed the first and second one, and there's no doubt you are excited about this one. The third installment will follow the timeframe of the second game, and will be the final game in the series. This will complete Commager Sheppard's journey and will incorporate over thousand variables from the first and second game to give the player a familiar experience. I'm sure you'll be able to use your old save games here as well.
Batman: Arkham City
Expected : Q4 2011
After the massive success of Batman: Arkham Asylum, it was only commonsense for Rocksteady Studios to plan a sequel. The one thing we missed in Arkham Asylum is sneaking on the roof tops of Gotham waiting for the baddie to arrive, while rain dripped from the bat suit, just like in the movies. That's exactly what you'll be getting in Arkham City. This time we have a new super villain, Hugo Strange, although it is rumored that the Riddler, Two-Face and the Joker will make an appearance as well. There's also going to be a multiplayer component this time, but we haven't got any concrete details as yet.
BulletStorm
Expected : February 2, 2011
This is another great looking FPS from EPIC game, the people who bought us Unreal. Players assume the role of Grayson Hunt, who, after few years after his exile, has become a drunken space pirate. Similar to Unreal, the game will feature oversized weapons and some new crazy combo moves. Check out the trailer below.
RAGE
Expected: September 2011
Based on the new id Tech 5 engine, which has been in development since Doom III came out, it will finally hit PCs and other platforms this year. It's set in a post-apocalyptic world similar to Fallout and will features a healthy mix of racing and FPS action. You'll even be able to upgrade your ride from the money earned in theses races.

I Am Alive
Expected: TBA
This upcoming action game is being developed by Ubisoft Shanghai and takes place in Chicago after a high intensity earthquake has destroyed the city and separated it from the mainland. The player has to evade enemies, fend off dehydration, find his missing girlfriend and stay alive in a crumbled city of hate. A very interesting concept that we hope will have good game play as well.
Portal 2
Expected : April 20, 2011
This game certainly needs no introduction. If you haven't played the first games, run to the store and buy the Orange box or just buy it off Steam. In the sequel, you return as Chell after being in stasis for several hundred years. With GLaDOS defeated in the first game, the Aperture Science facility is now in ruins. Be prepared for another exciting adventure with your handy portal gun and of course, the companion cube.
F.E.A.R 3 (aka F.3.A.R)
Expected : March 22, 2011
With Project Origin receiving a rather insipid reception, we all 'feared' the worst for the franchise. However, F.3.A.R is shaping up to be a bit more interesting than the second one. This is a direct sequel to Project Origin and will include a new co-op mode as well as a new cover system. You'll be able to play as Point Man or Paxton Fettle this time, giving you new powers like Telekinesis, stun, possession and much more.
Dragon Age 2
Expected : March 8th , 2011
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Expected : TBA
Human Revolution will be a prequel to the first game and is the third game in the series. The game takes place during the year 2027, 25 years before Deus Ex, and features mechanical augmentations rather than nanotech, since those weren't invented at the time. Judging by the trailer, this is certainly going to be one stunning game on the PC.
Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Expected : TBA
This fantasy role-playing game is being developed by Bathesda Game Studios and will be the fifth installment in the series. Skyrim will utilize a new game engine that will incorporate some technologies used in other games like Oblivion and Fallout 3. I'm not a fan of RPGs myself, but I know many who are eagerly awaiting this launch.
Postal III
Expected : Q1 2011
