I have preordered these games :

Dead Island

Battlefield 3

Elder Scrolls Skyrim

Saints Row 3 .

I may also look at these games if I have enough time and money :

Silent Hill : Downpour

Rage

Resident Evil:Raccoon City

Risen 2: Dark Waters

Gears of War 3

After a dead few months ,the number of games being released over the next few months is overwhelming

I loved both Left for Dead 1 and 2 and have preordered Daed Island .From all that I know its one of the more promising zombie games available over the last few years .Its an open world ,like fallout or Saints Row 2 which really excites me . There are a lot of choices available to us which will determine how the game turns out and I don't think you are required to complete specific missions in a particular order like Dead Rising . I didn't really get into that either .Ther game also offers a number of melee weapons like Left For Dead 2 which are great for close battles with multiple zombies. I am betting it will be a lot of fun .Zombie bashing really never gets old.

I am defintely picking up Dead Island, BF3, Skyrim and Saints Row 3 . I may also consider some others such as Silent Hill : Downpour
