Roughly the 3rd or 4th time I inappropriately mislabeled a document, form or check with the year 2010 I finally realized that it was, in fact, 2011.  Where did 2010 go?  How did I get from there to here?  Who invented liquid soap and why (obscure movie reference anyone)?  As I contemplated these life-altering questions it began to dawn on me that 2010 was a great year for gaming – as the more recent Golden Minecart awards can attest to.  But where 2010 was a solid year for gaming 2011 is shaping up to be truly epic.

When I first considered posting a most anticipated poll my initial strategy was to NOT limit it to just PlayStation exclusives.  I spent a fair amount of time putting together a comprehensive list of 2011 game releases – exclusives and non-exclusives alike.  The list, quite frankly, was unsettling – it was that good!  At one point I reached a list of more than 50 games scheduled to be released this year; and that was after being somewhat conservative.  To present this list in poll fashion would have been more than a little overwhelming to our faithful readers.

So, without further delay I present to you a list of PlayStation 3 exclusives.  Take in all its majesty, check your savings account to ensure adequate funding and let us know what your most anticipated PlayStation 3 games of 2011 are.  If your future Golden Minecart of 2011 (exclusive or otherwise) is missing from the list please, share with us by adding a comment.

Now, excuse me while I contemplate knocking off my local PDQ.  A man’s gotta game!
