Finally, game releases are picking up the pace again. So many glorious yum yums coming out in a little bit.
See below for them yum yums.

Dead Island
It's funny to think that this game was first announced in 2007 as an exciting sandbox title featuring zombies and yet no one could give a rat's as about it then. Fast forward to 2011, and just because of one admittedly awesome, emotionally-moving trailer that is probably not indicative of actual gameplay, gamers and even non-gamers the world over are going apeshit over it. Let's hope the game itself lives up to the hype.
Crysis 2
Just a week or so ago, the whole games industry went apeshit when news broke that Crysis 2's beta (which was essentially an unpolished version of the full game) had leaked onto the Internet long before the official launch date. This clearly is some sad news for Crytek who I'm sure have been working on this project for a long time, and judging from the slew of gameplay trailers released in recent months, it is going to be an epic good time.
So, I'm fighting the temptation to "check out" the beta and wait till the full game in all its polished glory is officially released. Then it'll be awesome.
Rage
Here's a title from id coming out a bit further down the line. If you ask me honestly, I'm a bit skeptical about this - only because it really looks like Fallout 3, except with less role-playing and more shooting. Which is not to say it won't be fun, but I honestly would've expected a mega company like id to come up with something more fresh and innovative. But I'm of the mind that id isn't really all that imaginative - they've got great tech, but look at Doom 3; that was hardly a revolution in gaming, it was just good fun in a solid engine.
