My Most Wanted PC Games for 2011

My Most Wanted PC Games for 2011

There have been a ton of great games already released this year, but we are just at the halfway point of 2011 and there’s still much more to come it seems.  There’s a lot of PC games out there I want, but there are a few that are day-one purchases and ones I just can’t wait for. 

Here’s my current list of my most wanted PC Games of 2011:

  • Tropico 4 – If you follow my blog you will know I am a super huge Tropico fan.  Tropico 3 brought back the classic series and Tropico 4 is building upon that as you again take the reins of a dictator of a Caribbean island.

  • Hitman: Absolution – Hitman is another series I have been playing since the beginning.  The stealth and various ways to complete the “hits” have progressed through the series, and Absolution looks like a big boost to the franchise.

  • Battlefield 3 – Really don’t have to talk much about this one.  Any military FPS fan should be anxiously awaiting this one.  See my thread here for some videos and more info.

  • Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion – Again, I don’t have to explain much to the crowd here why this is on my most wanted list.  Every fan of Sins should grab this pre-order now.

That’s my quick list, now let me know what are your most wanted PC games!

I'm kind of suprised with myself; I'm actually looking forward to Battlefield 3. There's so many Call of Duty and CoD-esque games out there that when I see another "modern FPS" I just write it off, but BF3 looks interesting. I'll probably wait for it to go on sale, though.

I'm also looking forward to Sins: Rebellion, but other than that there isn't much. Maybe SotS2, but I couldn't get into the first one.

Fallen Enchantress and Torchlight II.

 

I think Diablo III will be 2012 and frankly, I don't know about it. It looks great in some areas and not very good in others. Region locking is also super lame.

Crusader Kings II is going to be awesome but I think that's 2012 as well.

 

EDIT: I checked out that Skyrim. It does look pretty darn cool. Bonus points for the mammoths. ;)

Sword of the Stars 2, although since I just discovered SOTS 1 a few months ago and am still discovering lots of new things with every playthrough, I'll likely wait until the first post-release patch before buying it.

 

I do intend to check out Skyrim, but my playtime is very limited these days, so may not purchase.

Quoting Trojasmic, reply 14
Which MMORPG do you think will get made first?

A.  World of Starcraft?

B.  World of Diablo?

C.  World of Galactic Civilizations?
End of Trojasmic's quote

 

D. None of the above.

Starcraft wouldn't make a very good mmorpg imo, it would lend itself better to being an action-style mmo, maybe akin to planetside? Blizzard has already touched on a lot of the elements that would be in a Diablo mmo with World of Warcraft. So I don't think they'd make an mmo out of that simply because it would be too similiar to WoW. Galactic Civ mmo.. Eve Online with larger corporations? Heh, I'm not sure how'd that work. But anyway, interesting ideas all.

 

My own list for 2011..

Elder Scrolls: Skyrim

Assassin's Creed: Revelations

Fallen Enchantress

Heroes of Might and Magic 6

 

Should be a good year, as far as games go.

In no particular order since I don't know how good the games will become.

 

  • Diablo III - Still play Diablo II so that was a lowoddser
  • Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Really like Heroes V so chances are I'll like it as long as it doesn't turn out as Heroes III
  • Elemental: Fallen Enchantress - You better beat Age of Wonders Shadow Magic as far as A.I and an arcadey competetive experience go!

That's all I can think of.

Even checked Webhallen for upcoming PC games but some games I'm anticipating are for 2012.
