While many publications are wrapping up their look at the best games of 2009, we have decided to peer ahead. Most gamers know what titles came last year, but keeping track of upcoming releases can be a bit more difficult.

We are going to take a look at some of the most anticipated PC games of 2010, from top to bottom in alphabetical order we have a total of 31 games spanning nearly every genre. Naturally, this list is subjective, but we hope it will allow you to keep tabs on what will likely be some of the best games this year.


Sneak peek inside: Aliens vs. Predator, BioShock 2, Deux Ex 3, Just Cause 2, Mass Effect 2, Max Payne 3, Stalker: CoP, StarCraft II, WoW: Cataclysm, and plenty more!

Thanks for the note Captain, text is now fixed.

Glad to hear you enjoyed the article, which BTW can also serve as a guide throughout the rest of the year to track down upcoming releases.

Great list, thanks. I almost wish you had sorted it by released date though

Final Fantasy as an MMORPG is just wrong...

Diablo III, Max Payne 3, Starcraft II and Half life II episode 3: these are the games which will make me come back go using computers also for gaming. Over the years I have lost interest for games(also because of the financial problems) but these games I will wait to play.

Too many games, too little time (and $$). A great synopsis of upcoming games. Five games for sure I'll be buying - Bioshock 2, Mass Effect 2, Crysis 2, Fallout: New Vegas and Silent Hunter V.

Thanks for the compilation! Now I don't have to go to 20 different gaming websites to find trailers and info.

What about God of War III? Was it not included since it's just for PS3? Pretty stoked for that one!

Really looking forward to Deus Ex 3, Diablo 3 (if they ever release it), and im kinda excited about Final Fantasy XIV, but idk about it being and MMORPG ./sigh... what happen to the good old RPG's.

Singularity looks really interesting, and would like to play Starcraft 2, and of course the new WoW expansion :d too.

Overall looks like there are a lot of fun games lined of for this year - and I now have a computer that can run them and soon to have a PS3

Aren't some of those games slated for 2011 or at least currently TBA status?

The only game worth waiting for and it isn't even on the list out of all the games listed is: RO2

Red Orchestra: Heroes of Stalingrad

Looking at the list, I would have to agree. None of those games jump out at me. THE one game I am looking forward to is Red Orchestra: Heroes of Stalingrad. Would have been nice to see it there...

You forgot C&C 4...while I am a little disappointed with some of the devs decisions on the game, imo it still should have made that list. It'll be the final chapter of the C&C franchise and the last of KANE! Nevertheless still a good list, at least five of those games are on my must have list of twenty-ten.

Oh forgot to say R.U.S.E should be there too imo...from a RTS standpoint it looks very impressive and it will be adding a lot to the genre.

Don't forget Deadspace 2! But ya....that's twenty-eleven...

I don't know when it will be released, but the game I am most anticipating is The Witcher 2. I really liked the first one a lot, great game and story.

LOL...I feel sorry for writers that put together these "best of," "worst of," "most anticipated" types of lists. Can't win for losing because it's a sure bet someone is going to be disappointed and want to know why their particular favorite/hated isn't on the list. The Wikipedia link posted at the end of the article is a nice addition. Man, that's a ton of pending games!

I don't think i'll be able to play any of these games this year since i don't a have a powerful enough PC. But if were to play something it would be Final Fantasy XIII - English PS3 version (March 9, 2010) at a friends place.

What?
Where is Red Orchestra:Heroes of Stalingrad by Tripwire Interactive (TWI)?
I can understand the game not being listed in a console game list, but a PC game list? C'mon!
Get your head out of the sand..

+1 On Red Orchestra HOS
The original is still being played and has multiple mods that are quite successful.
Granted that the game isn't for everyone however it is a very challenging and rewarding shooter.

The new game will make a killing,
