Rage ; Pre-Doom4 blockbuster from ID. Probably the best game (technically) of 2011 already.

Rage is uncomparable to any other FPS , not even call of duty , call of duty is based on ID technology and thus is an (howmuch i did loved it and how much did i played it ) it's still unoriginal - 60% of FPS gaming run on ID Tech engines (quke,doom engines) , other's is unreal and cryengine. These 3 games are so unique and so different and that's why they're my 2011 must have trio.
Yeah but you missed something , the signature pic
However all of them are PC games, i guess genuine and native , but they all have console ports.
DNF is a PC game ported to consoles
Crysis 2 is a genuine multiplatform game (cryengine 3 supports console platforms , so they work with it in realtime , the console ports will not end up severely different / only a much much less graphical and detail quality, console versions look like crap, not even half of what crysis 1 did on PC)
Rage is also genuine multiplatform ( probably a similar method of developing as cryengine 3 - It uses early builds of IDTech5 , and that's the most advaced engine rivaling cryengine 3 - if not the technically superb , still waiting for Epic Games to for their next thingy , been quite lately)
All of the games will work best on PC , they aren't console games or dumbed down ( i hope it will stay that way) and ofcourse all of these are meant to be hardcore.
