2011 Game Review Predictions #2

Now, onto the big part of 2011- the end! From September onwards, things are going to get very busy for video gaming, and as such it's worth seeing all the titles that are coming out and predicting their quality out of 10, so let's go...
GEARS OF WAR 3- Beautiful visuals, typical yet effective sci-fi plot and the game-play GoW is renowned for will probably make this pretty good. 9/10
BATTLEFIELD 3- It's an FPS, so don't expect big change, but the graphics are awesome and the explosiveness is just plain cool! 9/10
ZELDA: SKYWARD SWORD- Zelda is back with a bang, and while the cartoony visuals are divisive the game-play is solid, if predictable. 8.5/10
FORZA MOTORSPORT 4- It looks realistic, it plays realistically, and the Kinect compatibility adds more fun and depth than ever. 8.5/10
STAR WARS KINECT- Fun for everyone, and fans will get a hoot out of wielding a virtual lightsaber with their body. Slight lag sometimes, but that doesn't detract from how impressive this is. 9/10
STEEL BATALLION KINECT- The tech is still coming on, but a solid indication of Kinect's future. 8/10
TOMB RAIDER- Lara Croft is on fine form once more, and the free-roaming island is great, although replay value is sorely lacking and nothing particularly new is present. 8/10
CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE 3- It's COD, so my hopes are no longer high for this. 5/10
BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY- Ace stuff, a true tribute to the world of the Dark Knight. Essential for all fans of the Caped Crusader, and perhaps newcomers too. 9.5/10 (or 10?)
UNCHARTED 3: DRAKE'S DECEPTION- A PS3 exclusive to be proud of, boasting the best visuals around, blockbuster game-play and a plot that would fit right in with a movie! 9/10
THE ELDER SCROLLS V: SKYRIM- One of the most technically advanced titles in 2011, Skyrim adapts brilliantly to your play style and deserves attention by all...couple of glitches, though! 9.5/10
SAINT'S ROW: THE THIRD- A blatant GTA clone, but still bombastic fun while it lasts. 7/10
MASS EFFECT 3- Closing 2011 with a bang, and tying up all the trilogy's loose ends perfectly (that is provided it makes it out this Winter and isn't delayed until early 2012) 10/10
Now it's time to see whether all these games and so many more live up to expectations as the year continues!
