The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Dead Space 2

2. Dead Space 2

Dead Space 2 is that sequel that you want to play the campaign first to know more about Isaac Clarke's struggle in a new Necromorph infested area. Visceral Games introduces new guns, enemies and armor but keeps the core gameplay that made the first game so enjoyable.


This third person horror game also introduces a multiplayer feature which is nice but nothing memorable that will keep you coming back for more.


Its a great start to the 2011 year and makes you want to play Dead Space 3 to continue the great story.

Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds

7. Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds

It's a Capcom Street Fighter game with special guest Marvel helping out with the fighting roster but that doesn't mean this isn't a good game. The game has been balanced enough to allow gamers who aren't used to fighting games but give people who are veterans to the genre the normal feel they know and love. The games' face lift adds what Street Fight IV gave us back in 2009%3B a colorful and enjoyable fighting platform.


The game also allows you to match up against human opponents online which has its moments of good and bad (connection problems to say the least). These online match ups will help hone any avide Marvel vs Capcom 3 players skills and character selections.


Capcom has always had a grasp on fighting games and their formula for success hasn't changed this addition to the Marvel vs. Capcom franchise.
