Nielsen Reports: These are the Most Wanted Games of Holiday 2011

September 30, 2011

I'll skip all the malarkey and just get to the numbers. These figures are based on Nielsen's polling of 5000 gamers asking them to rank their top 5 most anticipated titles of the Fall season. There's all kinds of disappointing in the list, but you really shouldn't be surprised by any of it:

I know you might suggest that Just Dance 3 doesn't really deserve a place in this list. Let's not get into a discussion where we write off anyone looking forward to a dancing game. The fact is, this is a pretty accurate snapshot of what gamers everywhere want. Let's face it. Nielsen's gotta be smart enough to eliminate all the ~~trolls~~ outliers.

What's in your top 5 this Fall?

I attended San Jose State University and graduated in 2010 with a Bachelor's in English and a Minor in Journalism. I've been playing games my whole life and will continue to do so as long as they stay entertaining! Some of my favorite games include Team Fortress 2, Battlefield 3, Star Fox 64, Batman: Arkham City, Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, Counter-Strike: Source, Super Mario Bros. 3, Kirby's Dream Land, and the list goes on.
