DC universe? Old Republic? I feel you may have left out a certain Areanet venture. I know it isn't confirmed for 2011 but it sure as hell looks interesting enough to merit a mention. Its one of the only games where I have checked up the dev blog every now and then to learn how the progress is going. The only other game I have done that with is at the top of your list.
Sony isn't even touching The Old Republic. The Old Republic is between Bioware&EA and LucasArts. SOE isn't coming close to The Old Republic and let's hope that it stays that way, to be honest. I cannot speak for DCUO, though.Pugiron said:
OT: Very good list. I should've picked up Minecraft and Civ5, but really... I don't hate myself. What I mean by that is that they're great games, and that's the problem. I'd lose so much time!
The horizon looks to be good, though, eh?
I'm surprised it took 6 posts for someone to make a comment about the Half-Life 2 EP 3 thing.
Good list, overall, though. If I had any money at all I would own most all of the things on your top 5.

I'm most excited about Duke Nukem Forever 
I really hope it recaptures the over the top macho absurdity of Duke Nukem games.

2010 was average, aye - except for PC, where it was one of the best years on record (Largely because of the strategy genre and Minecraft).
2011, meanwhile, is looking stellar. A new console that actually has a reason for existing (and having a separate game base from the other consoles); a plethora of new, exciting entries in existing franchises (Skyrim! Uncharted 3 (not on PC, but still...)! Guild Wars 2! Portal 2! Mass Effect 3! Dragon Age 2! No currently-announced Call of Duty game!); the ever-burgeoning Indie games army; and Minecraft. Plus, with any luck Rockstar will finally port Red Dead Redemption to PC, and we can join in on the fun without shelling out $300.

I almost feel as if putting Portal 2, Half Life Ep. 3, and Duke Nukem together as next year's hopefuls is kind of tempting fate little bit too much. Well, we'll see. But yeah, this year has been pretty amazing, mostly for me because it was the year in which I discoverred WoW. Well, started playing it anyways...
We should also commemorate a year of amazing posting and blogging by Mr. Young here. F***ing fantastic job, good sir. Cheers!

Personally, I'd have put Mount & Blade: Warband on the list, but I can get why you didn't, not a lot of people have heard of this awesome game.
