I disagree. There are some pretty big titles for next year. 2011 was the best year in recent memory, so of course 2012 won't be on the level as 2011 was, but there are a ton of good games coming out this year. There are probably a total of more "good" games this year than last year, but last year had more "great" games than this year will, if that makes sense. 2011 just had so many blockbusters.

The big titles people should focus on from the list (Bold are potential GOTY nominees):
Final Fantasy XIII-2 (360, PS3)
Soul Calibur V (360, PS3)
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (PC, 360, PS3)
SSX (360, PS3)
Twisted Metal (PS3)
Mass Effect 3 (PC, 360, PS3)
Max Payne 3 (PC, 360, PS3)
Assassins Creed 2012 (untitled as of now) (PC, 360, PS3)
BioShock Infinite (PC, 360, PS3)

Halo 4 (360)
Tomb Raider (PC, 360, PS3)
Borderlands 2 (PC, 360, PS3)
Diablo III (PC, Mac)
Grand Theft Auto V (unannounced platforms)
Hitman: Absolution (PC, 360, PS3)
The Last Guardian (PS3)
The Last of Us (PS3)

I have literally been waiting since the 9th fucking grade for Diablo III. I cannot wait for it to come out.

Diablo III, MLB 12: The Show, GTA V and Borderlands 2 can get me through the entire year. Pretty excited to play the new Twisted Metal, too.

I read somewhere that Techland, who made Dead Island copyrighted the name Dead World. If true, another title to hit the shelves. And so far, loving DI.

Hmm.. AC and GTA only ones on that list for me though. Hitman was a fun game back on the PS2, but not at a 60 dollar price tag. I wouldve thought RE6 would be on there.

You can take XCOM (delayed until 2013) for Resident Evil 6 and you have a fairly strong list of titles.

Mass Effect 3, Diablo III and GTA V (if released) will be the best titles of the year imo.

Games I'm most looking forward to from the list are:

Final Fantasy XIII-2 (360, PS3)
Soul Calibur V (360, PS3)
The Darkness 2 (PC, 360, PS3)
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (PC, 360, PS3)
Resident Evil Revelations (3DS)
SSX (360, PS3)
Twisted Metal (PS3)
Uncharted: Golden Abyss (PSVita)
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier (DS, PSP, PS3, 360, Wii)
Mass Effect 3 (PC, 360, PS3)
Street Fighter x Tekken (PC, 360, PS3, PSVita)
Max Payne 3 (PC, 360, PS3)
Silent Hill: Downpour (360, PS3)
Kid Icarus: Uprising (3DS)
Ninja Gaiden III (360, PS3, WiiU)
Guild Wars 2 (PC)
Aliens: Colonial Marines (PC, 3DS, PS3, 360, WiiU)
Assassins Creed 2012 (untitled as of now) (PC, 360, PS3)
BioShock Infinite (PC, 360, PS3)
Halo 4 (360)
Tomb Raider (PC, 360, PS3)
Animal Crossing 3D (3DS)
Borderlands 2 (PC, 360, PS3)
Diablo III (PC, Mac)
Grand Theft Auto V (unannounced platforms)
Hitman: Absolution (PC, 360, PS3)
The Last Guardian (PS3)
The Last of Us (PS3)
StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm (PC, Mac)
XCOM (PC, 360, PS3)

I will be anticipating Bioshock and Assassin's Creed as well but the previous game in each series left much to be desired.

In a post on PlayStation.Blog, Twisted Metal's producer Chad Cox stated that the game is now complete, ensuring the game will be ready for its February 14 release. He also announced a new bonus: Players who buy the game will receive a voucher to unlock a Sweet Tooth skin in Lightbox Interactive's upcoming sci-fi shooter Starhawk.(see image below)

Additionally, if you pre-order Twisted Metal, you'll receive early access to Axel, as well as a code to download the original Twisted Metal: Black.

Speaking of Starhawk, that's going to be a great game. I forgot all about the Beta code I got inside of the Uncharted 3 box.

EDIT: Uncharted 3 players who have the code will be able to use it on January 31st.

I still have TM 1.

as well as 4, small brawl, and Black

Nice. I believe TM2 is on the PSone Classics section of the PS Store. I think it's $5.99. I need to buy some of those PSone Classics...
