First, they announced a brand new FIFA Street title for the sports gamers that is expected early in 2012.

Next up they announced Need for Speed, The Run. This sounds like a fun title for racing fans that also like a bit of danger. The demo showed an avalanche falling on the road as the racers tried escaping.

Next, BioWare takes the stage to drop a huge bomb. Warhammer Online: Wrath of Heroes will be released in the fall, and players can sign up for the big news is that the game will be free-to-play.

Finally, the game is going to be large but no huge announcements here. Most of this was already known so it was a little disappointing.

In March of 2012, we will see the war that will keep fans of the genre happy for some time to come.

Finally, Battlefield 3 will be the hottest war game around and will be exploding on the scene in the coming months.
