Top Games for 2011
We take a look ahead at the 11 most anticipated titles for 2011!
Portal 2
If the original Portal taught us anything, it's that novel and fresh gameplay ideas can be discovered by chance. And that the cake is a lie. In Portal 2 the players returns as Chell, having been in stasis for several hundred years while GLaDOS and the rest of the Aperture Science facility has fallen into disrepair. Promising better puzzles, an even more polished story and two player coop, this is surely a title that shouldn't be missed.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a role-playing game in development at Bethesda Game Studios. It is the fifth installment in The Elder Scrolls series, and a sequel to Oblivion. Skyrim will retain the traditional open world gameplay found in this RPG series. The game promises to include five cities, and expanses of wilderness and mountainous ranges to explore in between. If the fan-favorite Oblivion is anything to go by, players should be very excited for the release of Skyrim later this year.
