Guys I don’t know about you but I was talking to some of my friends here at work about new releases this year and I do believe If I am going to get to have to take out a loan if I get all that are on my list which is as follows:
These is in no particular order and please add anything I may have missed or not known about but if anyone has suggestions on what priority you think would be best it would be appreciated.

Well, there's all of 3 games on that list I'd buy new and I'm getting one of those for free, so...sucks to be you.

Didn't you hear? Mass Effect 3 is November 8th.

Yeah, I have to say of the games you listed I only plan on buying a couple and maybe renting a couple of others. I feel your pain though. At the beginning of the year it looked like my gaming budget was going to skyrocket. Fortunately, sort of, the year so far has had some releases that haven't lived up to my expectations (Crysis 2, Dragon Age 2) and I no longer plan on buying, as well as some delays (The Last Guardian), so I won't have to pass up on too many titles.

Still, there's a big list of games I'm looking forward to that you didn't include:

Resistance 3
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Rage
Infamous 2
LA Noire
Witcher 2
Batman: Arkham City
Dark Souls

I don't expect them all to be good, but I'm looking forward to all of their releases.

Skyward Sword (I'm hearing September or November)
Guild Wars 2 (which has no release date, so I don't know where you got 11-24-11 from)

I'm good with just that.

Hm. Duke Nuken and Old Republic are games that are very high on my "buy" list, Duke for pure hilarity value, and Old Republic because I loved KOTOR. ME3 was on the list, but the only way I'll touch it is if the witless hacks from the DA2 team weren't even allowed in the same building during development, lest their grubby paws and creativity-sucking auras transform it into more gray, half-assed EA slop.

Other than that, it's a few games in the Yet Another Fantasy RPG group, Miligear Wanking 3, and Rail Shooter 3. Joy.

I need Deus Ex 3 in my veins on day one. Here's hoping Squeenix doesn't feel like charging the Australia tax for the AU steam release like EA/Activision do. Mass Effect 3 I'm obliged to get on day one, but I'll probably be able to hold off on everything else. Arkham City I'll buy, but probably not straight away.

I haven't been paying much attention to Deus Ex 3 recently. Please tell me it won't be Steam exclusive.

Time to start getting into shape.

Of all those games, only three or four interest me.
Still though, combined with Portal 2, this year looks somewhat promising.

True, I guess there are only 3 or so that I will HAVE to get the others are just wants. All in all this year may suck for movie releases but at least we will get some awesome games!

According to the valve site it's a Steamworks title (you redeem your retail copy on Steam ala HL2). Whether it will come out on competing Digital Distribution services or not is anyone's guess.

What's worrying me is that Zelda might get pushed back, because outside of all those announcements they've made this week, we've gotten no mention of Zelda.

They admitted to Project Cafe
They said Mario Kart 3DS would be coming out this year
They gave Ocarina of Time 3DS a release date

Its like, Zelda is literally the only Wii title that anyone is going to care about this year, just give a date already.

As with all systems the first mention of a next gen replacement and most news is focused on it. I hope E3 is where a lot of answers come forth about upcoming titles. another thing that's disappointing is The Heart of the Swarm expansion for SC2 probably won’t be out this year like they said it would. -.-

Thought it was mentioned in one of these Game Informer interviews but upon re-examinaation I might be misremembering

Gah. That's actually what I meant to ask. If I buy it retail, I don't want to have to log in to Steam to play it. That'll be a skip, then.

Sword of the Stars 2 doesn't quite count- it comes out September 2. I just felt it had to be mentioned since it's close and looks to be even better than 1. More genocidal killing sprees, with better graphics and bigger and badder-ass warships!

I could never get into Sword of the Stars, maybe I just dont like turn based games.

SINS: Rebellion on the other hand, definitely interested in. Might even pre-order it while I have the cash so I can get in on the beta like I did with Diplomacy.

Aw man, Sword of the Stars, what a laugh. That game was so bad they took my mod and called it an expansion.

If the sequel is good, though, that's fine. I'm not going to grandfather my criticism in. I really hope it IS good. I know nothing about it, but if they actually made a turn-based strategy game that played fast and didn't suck, it would be fun. I really hope they took the modder and community comments to heart though, and will re-evaluate some of the basic principles of SOTS1. There's no shame in adapting to what people say.

Of that list of coming-outs, my only interest is Skyrim. I have never gotten into the Mass Effect franchise (1 sucked and 2 was apparently a lot better if you'd played 1 so I didn't play it either) and I've got no interest in Minecraft. Uncharted and Duke might be fun though, especially Nukem just for the nostalgia and to say "I played Duke Nukem Forever," which at one point would have been the biggest vaporware trophy ever. But it'll be a fun time for a lot of people.

I'm personally eagerly waiting for Witcher 2. I just replayed the first one (director's cut and everything, although barely noticed the difference and then I added my own texture packs).

The only two other games I plan to buy short-term is Duke Nukem (maybe) and Deux Ex 3(?).

Of course, the only games I plan to pre-purchase. I'm still looking forward to other games, like Dead Island.

Also Forza 4 is due towards the end of the year.

Another Assassin's Creed game coming out in November, too.

Assasins Creed 3 ? Or something like Brotherhood ?
