Mass Effect 3
Mass Effect is one of the most popular series of modern gaming and Mass Effect 3 is aiming to set the bar for games of 2011. Mass Effect 3 has a lot to live up to as Mass Effect 2 was nothing short of excellent. Not only have Bioware created a great RPG/ shooter hybrid they also made one of the best universes put in to a game and made that even better by giving us a great story to go along side that.

These are just 5 of the top games that have caught my eye out of the long list of great games that are to be released in 2011. This year is one of the strongest years to date and will be a year to remember for gamers. The only problem is will you have enough time to play all of the games that you want to? Or will you still be playing the 2011 games in 2012.
