Games of Q1 2012

Happy 2012 everyone! Sure, it’s already the second week in January, but considering most folk are only heading back to work today, the year only really starts now.

Starting from February we’ll be returning to your regular weekly release schedules – but seeing as January has virtually no games to look forward to after a massive Christmas season, it’s the perfect opportunity to look ahead at what awesome titles we can expect in the next few months.

You’ll note that Diablo III is missing from the list – while speculation is rife that the Most Anticipated Game Ever™ will be released sometime soon – a March/April window blurs the lines between Q1 and Q2 of 2012, and that would totes ruin the headline.

As is the nature of the industry, some of these titles will suffer delays, slips and hiccups (and you can be sure you’ll read about them right here on MyGaming) – but let’s look at the biggest games that have been dated in the first quarter of 2012.
