Which 3 is your 3 in 2011?

2011 is shaping up to be a great year for games.  Moving closer and closer to the Christmas season what is your most anticipated Three Quel of 2011?  What do the numbers show us for games ordered and pre-ordered? What are your favorites?  Gears 3 is right up there in the online gameplay charts on Xbox Live, Battlefield 3 is lagging behind Black Ops and Modern Warfare 2 with Gears 3 pulling in the fourth spot.

I'm curious to play Battlefield 3 myself, but have limited gaming budget and have to go with the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 game.  It's fun, it's proven, really wonderful game.  What are you playing?

IGN has a more in depth story, Third Time Lucky?

Meanwhile, deep beneath the surface, a fearsome new threat is infecting the planet from within. With survivors scattered and civilization in ruins, time is running out for Marcus and his comrades as they fight to save the human race. The Gears of War series is one of the most popular franchises in Xbox history, with more than 12 million games sold worldwide, a forthcoming major motion picture, New York Times best-selling novels, and more.
