2011 looks to be turning into a good year for games and with the 3DS and NGP, even better console launches. (I went to a 3DS pre-release event and it's definitely the business - and at least now I don't have to spend £250 to check it out! :-P) What's everyone looking forward to? What epic gaming experiences are on the horizon?

For me, the game I'm getting giddy over at the minute is The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Last weeks trailer had me mesmerised and, truth be told, further dented any enthusiasm I had for other RPG's coming out this year. I've missed the freedom of Elder Scrolls. And at least if I don't buy any other games this year, I'll be part of the way to upgrading my box for 11/11/11, heh.

Definately TES V. I don't have the money to get a system capable of running it, but still, I'll enjoy it from the sideline. I totally loved Morrowind, and was unable to play Oblivion ... So perhaps the generation gap might prove too big. For the past years I've been drooling looking at Oblivion footage though.

I guess I could get it on Xbox, but I prefer PC because I totally loved modding Morrowind...

Absolutely. Skyrim is a must-have. I played Dragon Age, and while it's pretty good I, too, miss the freedom to just ignore the main quest for a while, head off into the woods on a random course, and know that you're going to find something, somewhere. The TES games are among the very few that make you really believe that there is a world outside the particular plot point you are working on right now.

ME3... I went through and played all classes but Engineer with every conceivable branching from ME1.  Its one of my favorite all time titles alongside StarCon2 and Homeworld.

I think I had over 400 hours logged for Morrowind, and I never even finished the main storyline :D

Marrowind was great. I was massively disappointed by oblivion, and I suspect that the fifth installment will be the same.

Today I added a mod that allows me to join the Sixth House, instead of becoming the Nerevarine :)

Skyrim looks promising though...

Garbage, all of it!

Dragon Age 2 came out last week. I've enjoyed it so far.

Just realised I didn't slam Diablo III on this list. That's gotta be coming out year. Presumably in the same timeframe as SC2 came out last year. After seeing a few of the videos and screenshots, I hate the fact D3 is pitched at the WoW crowd. It looks bright and happy and just all wrong for a Diablo game. Still, I'm keeping my faith. It's another reason why I need to upgrade my box.

Heh, I've played three Bioware RPG's since Oblivion. I desperately need Skyrim. It's no exaggeration to say that I nearly screamed when I found out I couldn't just stab Duncan or otherwise piss off and do my own thing in Dragon Age. In Oblivion I could go about on my merry way, stealing and assassinating my way through life, finding travel across Cyrodil evermore taxing as more and more of those nuisance Oblivion gates turned up. I always thought the Imperial Council should've found a Hero for the job or something...

Except you also can't kill all the NPCs in Oblivion.  In Morrowind, you could kill EVERYONE.  Including important characters like Vivec.  In Oblivion?  "Essential" NPCs only get knocked out.  Very disappointing.  I have a feeling Skyrim will be similar.

I'm thoroughly excited for Skyrim. I just hope my current setup is sufficient to run it. I'm afraid I'll need new video cards.

DA: O was an awesome game :) spent dunno how many hours but got all the achievements :)
DA 2 was a bit let down for me however. Maybe I am not used to things changing so much.

There are just too many awesome games to look forward to this year :)

Unfortunatly as far as most likely goes I believe Diablo 3 will be next year.

For me I'm waiting for Dues Ex Human Revolution and Red Faction Armageddon.
