Yeah. Really an awesome list of games. Most of those titles are gonna make it into my PC or X360 or PS3 by the end of the year. Minus the sports games ;) I just hope they don't delay Dead Space 2 like they did with Crysis 2. :(

Since when did EA work on Star Wars: The Old Republic i thought LucasArts was the publisher and developer, anyway i'm looking forward for Medal of Honor and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit.

i think EA bought the rights for publishing this game from LucasArts. Not sure. They do have a nice setup. Honestly I'm believing most in Crysis 2. And yeah Medal of Honor. I want to see that game fight the new CoD game. Boy that is gonna be one bloody fight. :)

Mass effect 3 is going to be a blast , all those choices from the first to the 2nd to the 3rD !!!!

man ... must have been such a complex Game to make .

Dragon Age 2! I hope that the main character continues to search for Morrigan (or they should at least make a DLC about that). But I've heard that Dragon Age 2 is going to take place before the original game, so I'm not sure about that.
Mass Effect 2 could just keep up the good story. The war with the Collectors is not over yet, and there are other bad boys like Sovereign out there... :)

You know that What Really Intrigues me in Mass effect 2 ?

How At the End Sovereign Releases Control of the Arachnid-like Collector ,
which makes me think if OTHER races can be controlled as well .
meaning if other races can be TRANSFORMED Like they did with Humans into Collectors .

Something to boggle the mind .

I love you EA (did I just say that?). But seriously, I'm going to be a happy man this week... The Old Republic... Dragon Age 2... *drool*

@BoneArc - didn't you ask yourself why the collectors wanted Shepard's body so hard? After he died, the Shadow Broker got his hands on it, and almost sold it the Collectors - who were building a human Reaper, and they probably needed Shepard because he was the one that destroyed Sovereign. Liara saved his body, when she was briefly working for Cerberus - I read the comic book xD
