The following Top Five Games of E3 Expo promise to keep thumbs happily waggling well into 2012.
Star Trek:
Coming in 2012 from Paramount Digital Entertainment, this attractively styled action game based on the upcoming JJ Abrams film reboot allows you to play co-operatively as Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock. A brand new adventure, it sees the dynamic duo teaming up to stop a "legendary enemy race bent on conquering the galaxy" (fingers crossed that's code for Klingons).
Set after the 2009 film and developed by Digital Extremes for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, the game also boasts a script featuring input from "God of War" writer Marianne Krawczyk. If the game halfway lives up to the hype, it's sure to live long and prosper.
BioShock Infinite:
Latest in the series of hyperliterate undersea epics, this newest installment in the popular sci-fi role-playing franchise, which lets you hurl ice and fire or annihilate mutant adversaries with steampunk weapons, takes to the clouds instead. Viewing a richly detailed and dystopian world of floating blimps, balloons and ziplines through the eyes of Pinkerton agent Booker DeWitt, players will engage in visceral shootouts or melee combat with twisted DNA-splicing adversaries.
Among the most ambitious titles of the current generation, the game mixes high-flying aerial antics and stomach-clenching shocks. Hopes are high that it will live up to its award-winning predecessors. From teaming up with space- and time-bending female sidekicks to fleeing from hordes of screaming fanatics, its singular tale is likely to captivate PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 players in 2012. PlayStation Move motion control support is also planned.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3:
Given the seemingly boundless popularity of the best-selling military first-person shooter franchise, which draws 20 million online players per month (including 7 million each day), this could be the biggest game of the year.
From claustrophobic raids on steam-filled submarines to frantic sprints down waterways choked by exploding tankers, the series once again ups the graphical ante, and slathers on the summer blockbuster-style set pieces and pyrotechnics. Destined to clash with rival blaster "Battlefield 3," backed by a $100 million marketing campaign courtesy of publisher Electronic Arts, it's one of the titles you'll be unable to escape this holiday season.
While it's not garnering as much excitement as its record-shattering predecessor, extensive head-to-head and persistent multiplayer options ensure it'll still pack a full clip when it ships November 8 for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim:
Few fantasy role-playing games can approach the sheer scope, variety, or richness of "The Elder Scrolls" series, renowned for its open-ended play and comprehensively appointed worlds. Sticking with tradition, its latest rendition lets you wield swords and spells against giant spiders, fang-faced wolves or leering humanoid monstrosities. It delivers a dazzlingly rendered world filled with stunning environs and believable characters.
By siphoning off dragons' powers, you can also gain in stature and prowess, acquiring superhuman abilities when touting swords and axes just aren't enough.
The millions of players who enjoyed previous outing "Oblivion," as well as newcomers to the series, likely won't be disappointed when it debuts for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on November 11.
Tomb Raider:
Previous "Tomb Raider" games have been a mixed bag of good ("Tomb Raider 2"), bad ("Tomb Raider 3"), and heartbreaking ("Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness"). This latest in the series -- a prequel which makes the game's star, Lara Croft, seem much more human -- looks to be a winner.
The game has closely positioned cameras, and larger characters make the game's action instantly feel more immediate and visceral. And trailers promise a gripping storyline.
With over 35 million games sold, the franchise's latest is likely to prove a winner when it launches for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 next year.
