The 2011 Purchase Thread

This should be enough for me to keep me occupied the whole year:
NHL12
Arkham City
Dead Space 2
TDU 2
All for PS3, since I'm a Playstation kind of guy
Completely forgot about this thread!
Well to update;
Got NHL12 on release day
Also got FIFA12 on release day
Also got TDU2 within a week of release, but sold it very quickly
Got Dirt3 instead (much happier)
Decided not to get Dead Space 2
But I'll definitely be getting Arkham City the day it's available (my Uni grades will hate me...)
And I'm 100% sure that's all this year. Now to wait for all the stuff coming in 2012...
Edit: I lied. After a talk with some friends, I was convinced to get Portal 2...

Here's how my prediction went so far:
Ah, here we go again!
Definitely:
- Dead Space 2 [check!]
- Little Big Planet 2 [check!]
- Uncharted 3
- Portal 2 [check!]
- Team Ico Collection [check!]
- Batman: Arkham City
- The Last Guardian [2012 now]
Possibly:
- Mass Effect 2 [check!] & 3 [2012 now]
- LA Noire [decided against]
- Rage [decided against]
- Thief 4 [2012 now]
- Hitman 5 [2012 now]
All for PS3, since it is my only current gen system.
Maybe a PSP2, if we see it this year? [2012 now]
For upcoming games I'm really pumped for Rayman Origins. Got to play that at Eurogamer and it was just phenomenal, incredible visuals and really fluid gameplay. Couldn't hear much of the music but it sounds great in the trailer. I found some game breaking bugs though so one of the Ubi reps pulled me aside
- Zelda Skyward Sword Limited Edition (I still need motionplus and an additional controller)
- maybe Goldeneye for PS3
- mmmmaybe Sonic Generations(also played at Eurogamer and thought it was quite good, but Sonic is a deceptive ****)

Yeah, I've got the Zelda Ltd Edition on pre-order too. I just couldn't resist that shiny gold Wiimote, and I currently don't have a Motion + either, so that solves that problem.
I might even play through the Wii version of Twilight Princess (even though it's back to front) now I have to get used to Link being right-handed.
There's also a new version of BlazBlue coming out, Continuum Shift Extend, so I'm waiting to find out what's happening with the UK release. The Japanese version is out in time for Xmas, and I really can't see it coming to Europe before March next year if we're lucky.

I've been loving Dark Souls.
I want to pick up Forza 4, but I hope that online there is finally good 2wd racing in classes below A class, and that REAL race cars have a reason to exist online. IE Holden anyone???
In 3 the Viper and Mozler dominated due to being the only 2 cars with downforce and the Viper 4wd swap :-(

Because of Best Buy's Buy 5 get $100 Reward Zone credit I've found my list of games for future purchases growing. I've been playing Gears 3 since it's release, but I did purchase & try Rage. Rage is pretty, but I didn't find it immediately entertaining the way I do Gears. Tonight is the midnight release for Batman Arkham City, so I'll probably get that and play this week.
My big game though is Uncharted 3. I cannot wait!
I did hit the New York Comic Con this weekend and tried Streetfighter X Tekken & Mass Effect 3. ME3 is gorgeous, I need to finish 2 so I can be ready for this one. SF X Tekken playing it brought me around, I'll be adding this to my list of games for next year.

Whoa whoa whoaaaa there. Williams Pinball Collection... 3DS? I didn't know that existed! Still doesn't in Europe, yet, but damn. I love that on my PSP. I've thrown more time into each individual table than almost every game I've played this year. Time to email Crave and demand a EU version
.Oh get Mario 3D Land. I can't decide if that or Rayman is my GOTY. Bought it because I like Mario, wasn't too excited, played to 100% completion.
Since I Don't
Bootcamp, and sort of stopped gaming, I decided I'd try ONE game on my iMac. After recommendations here, I bought Bioshock (I know it's old) as something to play occasionally.
Now I'm hooked again! It looks fantastic on my 27" screen and runs super fast and smooth. I'd like to see more titles ported over to mac.
1) FEAR
2) Dead Space
3) Crysis series
Or any new sic-fi based games that are new.
Sorry...Wrong section

I don't know about Mario, I never got into the Mario games except for the original Mario Bothers. I have super Mario for my GameBoy Advance, and don't play it. I find it really hard because if you lose all your continues you have to start from the beginning again. Do you have to do this Mario Land?
As for the Williams Pinball game, I was looking at games to order my 3DS and saw that. Fun house and PinBot where two of the tables, and I said heap I want that. I used spend all my quarters on Fun House.
I know I didn't have a life. Hugh
Dunno, I've only lost 14 lives in Mario 3D Land and I've collected 160 of them. I don't think it'd make you start over again since it starts off very easy.
