Forget if Starcraft II was 2011. Also Rift, Portal 2 from your list. Watching for Skyrim, HOMM 6 and Deux Ex HR sales this black friday (might get HOMM 50% off on Amazon).

Does it count that I just got Duke Nuke Forever for $5.99 on the PS3?:)

Or World of Tanks since it's cost $75 so far and wants more?

May have forgotten some.

Chaos Rising was 2010.

Retribution was 2011 and my only AAA title purchase in 2011. It was poor and not worth the money.

I also have Deus Ex HR but that came with my new graphics card. Haven't even installed it yet.

Skyrim and Rift. Got lots of good hours out of Rift, but grew tired of the MMORPG scene and left.

Of course, if I see some tasty sales on these games this week, I'll be in the buying spirit.

Deus Ex HR is the only one so far. I usually wait till GOTY(or gold/platinum whatever edition) with all DLC to purchase games.

Nothing yet. Depending on how I feel after a second week of beta testing, I will likely be pre-ordering SW:TOR. I will buy Batman: AC very soon as well, but most others I will be waiting for a sale of some sort (want SS3, DE:HR, Portal 2, and Duke Nukem).

I believe BF3 was the only one and I am still considering TOR.

EDIT: I did buy L4D2 and Borderlands this year -- forgot about those. I rarely buy games these days.

All the other big releases I can wait until they drop in price because I've got enough to keep me entertained.

Not many so far:
- Assassin's Creed Brotherhood
- Batman: Arkham City
- Crysis 2
- Deus Ex: Human Revolution

Waiting on a good deal before I get these:
- Anno 2070
- Skyrim
- Tropico 4

I was planning on HoMMVI but I'm doubtful I will enjoy this game now, considering the changes they brought to the game mechanics. Stronghold 3 seems to be a turd unfortunately.

Portal II
DoW II: Retribution
SCII: Wings of Liberty
EDIT: Got Civ5 + Expansions during Fall Steam sale. Methinks you may have to wait until the Steam Holiday sale is over to get a true idea of what people got in "2011".

Considering getting Rage, The Witcher 2 and/or Skyrim, but not until it drops under the $20 range (I'd give it about 6 mos tops)

If also considering consoles:

Dance Central 2
Catherine(Will be xmas present)
