If you're an rpg fan, don't forget that Witcher 2 is coming out next spring. Witcher was a solid game, if a little misogynistic.
And Portal 2. I usually play only about three games a year, but it looks like 2011 will be different.
Apparently Skyrim will use an entirely new engine - good news! Maybe now their character animations won't look so off-putting.
