Fresh off of our recent 7 Best Video Games of 2011 post, we follow it up with a look at some games to look forward to this new year. This year will see some new games from some extremely popular franchises such as Diablo, Tomb Raider, Grand Theft Auto, and a few others, but it also will see something extra special with the fusion of 2 of the most prolific fighting games in the genres history when Street Fighter meets Tekken. Sure, we’ve seen this before with Street Fighters vs. X-Men and Capcom vs. Marvel, but it’s still cool. We’re definitely looking forward to some Bob vs. Rufus matches. Another game we are very much looking forward to is The Last of Us. It’s another third-person survival horror game in a post-apocalyptic setting, but still looks like it will be a winner.

See some trailers to some highly anticipated video games dropping this year after the jump.

While at CES, we stopped by Sony’s massive section to check out the Vita handheld gaming system. The Vita has been launched in Asia, but it will be coming to the US very shortly, February 22 to be exact. This great little device is very compact and it features a very high resolution screen. While there, it was announced that AT&T will be providing 2 different options for anytime-anywhere connectivity. There is a $15 plan that will get you 250 MB of data a month, and a $25 plan that gets you a 2 GB allowance. You will also be able to utilize Netflix on this, making it a perfect travel companion. Retail for the Playstation Vita starts at $249.

For Xbox users (PS3 users will have to wait as is the case with all downloadable content from Call of Duty), January 24th will mark the kickoff to Modern Warfare 3 content season. The season will be a 9 month stretch of monthly DLC releases for Call of Duty ELITE subscribers. First off are two new maps: 1) Piazza, which takes place in Italy; and 2) Liberation, taking place in Manhattan.

We just published a look at some of our favorite games of 2011, but here is another look at the year’s releases in the form of this short clip from Malcolm Klock. This video keeps it thorough as it spans all gaming genres and highlights some of the year’s best.

2011 saw some pretty good to great releases throughout the year. The status quo remains with anything Call of Duty ruling over all, and when we say all, we mean pretty much all of entertainment. Here’s an interesting fact pertaining to that notion: the latest release from the gaming franchise was Modern Warfare 3, which took 16 days to break 1 billion dollars in sales. In doing so, it surpassed Avatar, which grossed that amount in 17 days. That’s power right there. Recently, MW3 won the VGA’s ‘Best Shooter’ award beating out stiff competition with Battlefield 3, Rage and Gears of War 3. That is a pretty debatable, though. MW3 is loaded with flaws be it a horrible respawn system, or the continued appearance of death streaks, which in essence, rewards bad gameplay. When you really think about it, Battlefield and Gears are probably more sound and enjoyable, but there’s something about Call of Duty that keeps you coming back. Now that the game has been out for over a month now, it’s not uncommon to hear about people jumping ship from MW3, but the thing is, they’re not going back to other popular franchises — they’re going back to the previous CoD release, Black Ops.

RockStar Games has announced this week that Grand Theft Auto 3 10th Anniversary will make it to your favorite mobile devices this month, including the iPad, iPhone 4 and several Android devices. The game will only play on the more powerful devices running iOS and Android and will go on sale December 15th, for 5 USD.

Check out the trailer here below.

A full list of devices that will support the game follows after the jump.

You read that right: Nintendo and West Coast Customs of MTV’s Pimp My Ride fame apparently are in cahoots and will be unveiling a special project at the upcoming LA Auto Show on November 17. Autoblog speculates that the easy tie-in could lie within the upcoming release of the Mario Kart 7 for Nintendo 3DS, which would make all the sense in the world given the nature of that game. I guess we will find out soon enough as the show is just around the corner. Stay tuned for more details.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 presents its official live action trailer, featuring Sam Worthington, Jonah Hill and Dwight Howard. The game officially releases tomorrow, November 8th, 2011.
