" One of many huge blockbuster games with a three attached to it, Gears Of War 3 sees the story of Marcus Fenix and the rest of the Gears come to its inevitably blood-soaked conclusion. Gears Of War 2 was everything that a sequel should be: it was bigger, badder and better than the first game, and hopefully the final game of the trilogy will continue this trend. It certainly sounds promising thanks to the announcement of a four player co-operative mode, the inclusion of mech-suits, a number of new weapons and a legion of additional enemies to battle. But the question on everybody&amp;#039;s lips is whether or not we will see another Carmine brother bite the dust... Uncharted 3: Drake&amp;#039;s Deception Release date: November 1 &amp;gt; Click here to watch a trailer for the game  2011 looks like it will be the year of the trilogy - Gears Of War 3, Diablo III and Mass Effect 3 are all on their way, as is the follow-up to our 2009 GOTY Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. Announced at the tail-end of last year, details are scant, but we do know that part of Nathan Drake&amp;#039;s upcoming adventure will be set in the desert and that it draws parallels to T.E. Lawrence&amp;#039;s early years as an archaeologist. The debut teaser trailer looks stunning, and as an added visual bonus the game will also be playable in 3D.  Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Release date: November 11 &amp;gt; Click here to watch a trailer for the game  The annual Spike Video Game Awards have become a hotbed for big gaming announcements, and none were bigger than last year&amp;#039;s revelation that a new Elder Scrolls game was in development and would be released in 2011. Little is known about this mysterious new title from Bethesda, other than the fact that it will use a brand new game engine and features the subtitle Skyrim. Needless to say, if it&amp;#039;s anything like Oblivion then gamers are in for a real treat. To this day there are few video game moments that match the first time players emerge from the dark, underground dungeons and see the green grass of Cyrodiil basked in the bright sunlight. Batman: Arkham City Release date: Winter 2011 &amp;gt; Click here to view screens of the game  Taking place a year after the events of Batman: Arkham Asylum, Arkham City once again puts players in the shoes of Batman, who now has access to even more gizmos and gadgets as he battles against a slew of dangerous and ruthless criminals. Set in the slums of Gotham, which are now being used to house prisoners, Arkham City has the potential to be a huge playground for the Dark Knight and his innovative crime-fighting methods. Two-Face, Catwoman and the Joker are all confirmed for the sequel, although the Joker&amp;#039;s role may be limited to onlooker after the beating he took at the end of the first game.  The Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword Release date: Winter 2011 &amp;gt; Click here to watch a trailer for the game  The latest Zelda game is a prequel to fan favourite Ocarina Of Time and sees Link discover the Skyward Sword, which allows him to travel between his floating home world of Skyloft and the darker lands that lie beneath. The game will use Nintendo&amp;#039;s Wii Motion Plus, which means that Link&amp;#039;s actions will be much more fluid and accurate, so using weapons and powerups such as bombs, slingshots and the newly-introduced whip will require more realistic input than a simple waggle of the wrist. The visuals look like a colourful cross between Twilight Princess and Gamecube hit The Wind Waker, so fans are in for a real treat. The game should follow Super Mario Galaxy 2 as the latest must-have game for the Wii. Diablo III Release date: Winter 2011  Following a recently-leaked memo from the Blizzard offices, we now know the proposed release dates for the next two Warcraft expansions, that a brand new MMO called Titan is in development, and that Diablo III will finally be released in 2011. Details of the game are coming in thick and fast, and Blizzard has already revealed that the game will contain five character classes - including the recently announced Demon Hunter - destructible environments, as well as PvP Battle Arenas, which will feature closed-off environments that focus on class-based combat and team battles.  Mass Effect 3 Release date: Winter 2011 &amp;gt; Click here to watch a trailer for the game  The recently-unveiled teaser trailer shows London crawling with Reapers while Commander Shepard looks on from space. Whether he saves the day or not will no doubt be up to the player, and Bioware has promised that all of those choices from the previous two games will affect the way the final part of the adventure plays out. In good news for PS3 owners, Mass Effect 3 will be released on all consoles simultaneously, and in even better news for video game fans in general, the game is due to be released in 2011. Can Mass Effect win our coveted game of the year crown after just missing out in 2010? We will have to wait and see. The Last Guardian Release date: Winter 2011 &amp;gt; Click here to watch a trailer for the game  We don&amp;#039;t know how they manage to do it, but Team ICO is always able to pull on our heart strings. Whether it&amp;#039;s a simple relationship between a boy and a girl or the sacrifice of a faithful steed, the developers have managed to coax a tear from the eye of many a hardened gamer. With the power of the PS3 behind it, upcoming adventure The Last Guardian looks like it will also pack an emotional punch, as a young boy and a winged beast named Trico work together to escape a castle. The spiritual successor to ICO and Shadow Of The Colossus has been on our wish-list for some time now, and it fills our hearts with joy that a 2011 release date is starting to look like a reality. Also Look Out For... RAGE, Resistance 3, Forza Motorsport 4, Tomb Raider, SSX Deadly Descents, Metal Gear Solid: Rising and StarCraft II: Heart Of The Swarm. What are you looking forward to in 2011?
