A Bloody Battle is Upon Us!

2010 started quickly with the release of "Mass Effect 2" but, last season didn't met the expectations of the game players except brand new game of the huge series: "Fallout New Vegas” which, wasn't graded much by critics unlike "Fallout 3". This status of the game market reflect the games sales which dropped 2% to $24.7 billion.

However, 2011 is still new and may change everything. Unlike last year, this year has too much expectations and anticipations by the audience because of the announcements of the big guns.

The first wave of the bombardment is going to happen in March. "Fable 3", "Dragon Age 2" and "Witcher 2: The Assassins of Kings" which are the three of the greatest RPG sequels will be in the front line at the battlefield. Moreover "Shogun 2: Total War", the last game of the one of the best RTS game series in all time, will start the invasion of the shelves in March. Last but not the least, "Crysis 2" which was the sequel of the best seller game "Crysis" will be on the shelves in this March.

Why wait for the March? Even though it is not a bombardment the scout battalions already released, like one of the most anticipated MMORPG, which is "DC Universe Online". Also there are rumors like "Diablo 3 and games, which don't have a specific release date like "Deus Ex: Human Evaluation" maybe show themselves in 2011. Also, important DLCs for "Fallout New Vegas" and expansions like "The Sims Medieval" will offer more for the games, which are already in the field. However, the outcome won't be decided until the end because another big sequels like "Mass Effect 3", "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" and "Batman: Arkham City" will show themselves at the last quarter of the 2011.

With the rising of the inflation, dropping sale rates and decreasing buying power around the world, will these games can beat each other and find themselves a buyer? It is uncertain and these games will be able to face a delay but with the financial status of the game market and the power of these brand names, we will definitely see a very bloody battle soon.
