Most Anticipated PC Games of 2011

By now I think we can all agree that reports foretelling the demise of PCs as gaming platforms have been greatly exaggerated. Even though the landscape has shifted somewhat in recent years, with many companies putting a lot more effort behind console development, PC game sales still managed to grow 3% in a year where the industry as a whole was stalemate. That's no surprise with blockbusters like StarCraft II and WoW: Cataclysm breaking records last year.
We expect 2011 to be another great year for gamers, with most of 2010’s delayed titles finally hitting store shelves and many other highly anticipated ones making their debut. To help you keep track of this year’s upcoming releases we’ve put together a list with nearly 30 titles, spanning a variety of genres, alongside their respective trailers and relevant information.

Games are listed by quarter and alphabetically within each period to make them easier to browse. Here are the games to keep an eye on for 2011:

Bulletstorm

Release Date: February 22, 2011 | Genre: First-person shooter | Also on: PS3, Xbox 360
Based on the same Unreal Engine 3 graphics technology that powers Epic's Gears of War, Bulletstorm tells the story of a futuristic confederation protected by an elite band of mercenaries: Dead Echo. When two of its members, Grayson Hunt and Ishi Sato, learn they've been working for the wrong side they're betrayed by their commander and exiled to the far reaches of the galaxy. Grayson and Ishi find themselves surrounded by hordes of mutants and flesh eating gangs in an abandoned paradise. They have two objectives: get off the planet alive and get their revenge.

Players step into the role of Grayson Hunt complete with an arsenal of over-the-top combat moves and outrageously large guns. The game features a skillshot system that rewards players for inciting mayhem in the most creative way possible. The more insane the skillshot, the more points players collect to upgrade their character and unlock weapons, which then allow to execute even more creative moves and exaggerated shots.
