Yet another E3 flew by, and what a busy show it was! We got to check out some great upcoming titles, and there is plenty for gamers to look forward to this holiday season, and in the year to come! Our staff has once again voted, and we present our Top 10 games for E3 2011. It was tough to narrow down, so to avoid further fist fights, we are arranging our picks in purely alphabetical order.
Battlefield 3 will feature the maximalist combined arms battles that made the series popular across single-player, co-operative and multiplayer modes. It will reintroduce several elements absent from the Bad Company games, including fighter jets, the prone position and 64-player battles on PC.

If there was the most emotionally involving game at E3, Infinite would have to be it. From a story, character, and setting perspective, there was nothing else quite like it. The gameplay is yet to be experienced, but given the other merits of the title that we saw during the demo, this is most definitely a game to look forward to.

It offers plenty to be excited about, not just for series’ fans but all RPG players.
