I would like to think "maybe" Mass Effect 3 but I won't hold my breath on that one. From what little I have read about it I recall them saying something about Multiplayer in it which to me means the story is gonna suffer...

My picks for the running would be Diablo III, GTA5 or BioShock: Infinite.

Dota 2 could rank pretty high on the list though.

BioShock Infinite was on display for the general video game audience at the 2011 E3, and won the "Best of Show" award from the Game Critics Awards, as well as "Best Original Game", "Best Action/Adventure Game", and "Best PC Game"
Sounds like a front-runner to me.

Diablo III. Mass Effect 3 (hopefully they didn't screw it up more).

In addition to those, games I would like to play are Bioshock: Infinite, and Prey 2 (loved the first one).

Sounds about right lol.. but hey maybe they can pull off a NWN story with great gameplay. But best not get our hopes up and just hope for some thing better than DA2..



however D3 might be around. Although Arma 3 will be a hit for me but would not expect it be game of the year..

EDIT:

If DA3, ME3 or any other one that came out in the last 2 years it be pretty much a fail. Good games take many years to be any good.

Starcraft, Diablo 3 and/or Half-Life 3 if that comes along. Games that looks interesting are Cross of the Dutchman, Aliens: Colonial Marines and X: Rebirth.

Mass Effect 3 and no i dont think it will suffer for having multiplayer because what probably will have been done is Bioware just made a separate team for developing the multiplayer, Bioware is a massive developer under EA. If anything the multiplayer could end up being tacked on and a disappointment but i doubt the story will suffer.

Its probably going to be Grand Theft Auto V because everyone will buy that or if Treyarch make another spin off COD. For me it depends because i was really looking forward to Dragon Age 2 and it was merely just an okay game, so i need to actually play a few but like i said probably Mass Effect 3 for me because i admit i am a fanboy of the games.

I don't give a ... wooden nickel about all these series except for two fave games so my wild and biased guess that it's gonna be Doom 4 and Tomb Raider

In on the Beta for this and it has it's charms. All the good ear and eye candy of SHIFT 2 but leaning much more into the Sim category and they are very community oriented so it has great potential.

Well after doing a little more looking it turns out it will be Co-op which I am personally a big fan of if done right so I will still hold my verdict but at least that is something I could be interested in.
