In order of release (to the best of my knowledge):
1. Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Another addition to one of my favorite fighting series ever (one of my favorite game franchises in general, really) with updated graphics and a new character roster featuring a great mix of returning favorites and exciting new additions from both companies. I'm thinking of trying Deadpool, Dante, and Zero as a sort of go-to "guns and blades" team.
2. Dragon Age 2. I'm a little bit afraid that the overall structure of the game may shift more towards Mass Effect than the original, but I trust BioWare, and I'm excited to see the game's world with a shiny new graphics engine. Plus, you can upload your original character data; sure, your original Warden won't be playable again, but all of the decisions made during the first game will follow through.
3. L.A. Noir. Between GTAIV and Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar has proven that they're maturing as storytellers. I'm a little worried about just how well the investigation and interrogation mechanics will be implemented, but I can't wait to try them out.
4. Mortal Kombat. The series is finally going back to its roots with a time-bending retcon in the style of JJ Abrams' Star Trek flick. All the best characters are coming back, and they're focusing on brutal fatalities again.
5. Mass Effect 3. Do I even have to explain this one? The final act of one of the best video game storylines ever. I can't wait to see how major decisions from the first two games will shape the eventual outcome, as well as which crewmembers will or won't return.
