It's almost a year since the year started but just like the last year and about in the same time, I posted my most anticipated games of 2010. If you checked out that link you would have seen that 5 out of those 15 games didn't came out the last year, and 3 of those game still aren't out (and again 2 of them are in my list). Games like Mass Effect 2 and Dark Void have been considered in this because there weren't out when the list was made (Bayonneta not but if I would have made the list earlier it would be in top 10), but unfortunetly there were not able to come in the final 15. When I was collecting the games to make the list, I had 85 candidates. After the first rating (the score was based on the sum of 3 different categories which were anticipation, technical side and attraction and every categorie could give a max of 10 points so the max amount was 30 points) the number of games fell down on 36 games that got 25 or more points, and the second rating (just those 36 games) brought down that number on 21 games with a score of 25 or more, but 15 with a score of 26 or more and that's exactly what I wanted. I finally took those 15 games and rated them one more time to order them from 15 to 1. If some games has the same number of points, I took the rang from the last round and considered it.
The 6 games that were just a point from getting in this list are:
Mass Effect 2, Fable III, ModNation Racers, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction, Final Fantasy XIV and Starcraft II (and the last game was number 1 on my list of most anticipate games last year).
Now let us look a bit on charts which will show us on which platform the game will come out:
Now that we saw which console have most exclusives and how many of those game will come on a praticular console I can show you the number of games per genres and age rating:
After all this statistics, I'm ready to show you my top 15 most anticipated games (the legend is Rang/Name of the game/image/comment/platform/release date/my anticipation rating from round 3 (anticipation, attraction, technical side)/possibility of moving to next year (if it's 0% then this doesn't exists) and here there are:
15)
Dante's Inferno
So, the game which is the last on the list is an M rated Action/Adventure game from EA Visceral studio (the studio behind the great Dead Space from 2008 ). Like most of you know, the game is based on Dante's Book of the Hell, which is a part of one of the greatest cultural heritage of literature, and part of the Divine comedy. I'm really excited to see how EA is gonna make such a great book in a game, although we already know that it won't follow the book complitly, already the fact that the main character is Dante who is searching for his belowed girlfriend is showing us that, and will they bring us the charm of Virgilie (in the book he is the guide who shows around Hell) right? It's up to us too test when the game comes out!

Gran Turismo 5
The best racing simulation game is coming, and that's for the fifth time! We all now what Kazunori Yamauchi wants from this game so no wonder it is been expected to come out since 2008. And you ask what he wants? Only one word: Perfection, and that in all segments. As we already know, Polyphone studio has already spend more then 60 million $ for this game so we can expect just a hell of a racing and frustration because of the great physic which the game will provide.

Crysis 2
We all know for the original Far Cry, for Crysis. There are the most praised games when it comes to the technical stuff in the year when they came out and even in the following. All that was done by the German studio Crytek which has opened by Turkey imigrants. Crysis 2 will be the sequal to the critical very good acclaimed shooter from 2007.

God of War III
Everybody who played and finished God of War II wants this tittle. We want to see how this M rated Action/Adventure game will truly end. Will the spartan who became the god of war, but then betrayed by Zeus, get his revenge or will the god of gods show to powerfull to do so. We will find out soon and hope that Sony's Santa Monica crew did great job!

Heavy Rain
Sony's biggest exclusive, along side with God of War III, is coming out soon! This M rated Adventure game, made by French Quantic Dream with David Cage on the top, will feature probably the most realistic facial and body emotions and movings in any game. The game will be about 4 characters chasing a serial killer and all of them have some other reason for that, but they also have private problems (astma etc) which will be activated while we play and just bring more tension.

Final Fantasy XIII
Square Enix most praised game and franchise started more then 20 years ago and it's still running. It was suppoused to be Hironobu's last game, but we see what happend, we got 12 more titles. It evolved to one of the greatest RPG games and series. We already await this game for 3-4 years and we finally will play it this year in March. Just a little more time and we will finally fell that Final Fantasy felling again!
