    Well, it's 2012 now. What games are you looking foward to the most this year? I'll start.

    Mass Effect 3
    Aliens: Colonial Marines
    GTA:V
    Halo 4
    Agent

    I can only think of two at the moment I'm pretty much definite on:

    ME3
    Star Wars Old Republic

    These two are going to depend on reviews:

    X-Rebirth
    Max Payne 3

    Special case: Sword of the Stars II

    It was an undeniably piece of shit when it was released in October last year. It was completely unstable with more features that didn't work than did. At this time it is still pretty much a beta, so hopefully at some point this year it will get to the stage it should have been when it was released and be complete.

    I haven't been keeping track on what's due out.

    Mass Effect 3 is a certainty for me.

    Colonial Marines will probably be on the list.

    Possibles include Max Payne 3, Far Cry 3 and Tomb Raider

    Pre-ordering Mass Effect 3 and Halo 4 of course, Bioshock Infinite is on my list too but then i guess i'll either catch up with older games or see what strikes my interest.

    I think that's the plan going off some announcements, but it may get pushed back. It is up for pre-order on their site and there are a few comments in the interview below. There maybe some spoilers though

    Nothing. :(

    I need to try playing Mass Effect 2 again, but I just could not get into it the last time.

    At the moment, Mass Effect 3.

    I may check out other games as the year goes on, but at moment, ME3 is the only one I can say that I will be getting.

    I was reading my December issue of @Gamer magazine yesterday and it shows there is going to be a new Star Trek game next year, that's a co-op shooter where you play as Kirk and Spock. Kind of looking forward to that one.

    Other than that, I'm looking forward to Ghost Recon Future Soldier and Mass Effect 3.

    Having just got a PS3 for Christmas I'm playing catch up right now, alternating between GTA IV (which is amazing, though I don't like the controls after having been conditioned to the PS2 version of driving around Liberty City in the older games - R2 just feels wrong as an accelerator and I'm forever crashing because my body keeps hitting the wrong button for the brake), and Mass Effect 2. I also have LA Noir in my queue.

    In terms of games coming up, Mass Effect 3 for certain, plus I was very impressed by the previews I've seen of the reimagined Tomb Raider that's supposed to be coming out. GTA V, despite my qualms about the controls is definitely on my radar. And they recently announced a Doctor Who game that will be available on PS3 at some point, hopefully in 2012.

    I expect I'll be playing more catch-up on older games in 2012 as well. Assassins Creed and sequels is top of list, and just because I count myself among those who waited years and years for it, whether it's a bad game or not I still want to at least sample Duke Nukem Forever. And first time I find Portal 2 in a discount bin, it's mine.

    'Mass Effect 3' and 'Resident Evil:O.R.C' are the two i'm most looking forward to currently. I'll probably check out 'Aliens:Colonial Marines' as well, assuming there are no further delays for that title.
