New Shooter Games for 2011

Some new and future releases that i have found interesting in the gaming world:

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
Yes it is the 8th release of the Call of Duty series, and yes it is the third installment of the Modern Warfare series (obviously). With neither of those being a negative, and with its predecessor MW2 garnering the second most video game sales of all time, MW3 only has the potential to be no less than superb.  A change of scenery occurs as MW3 leaves the cold winters of Russia in Modern Warfare 2 and invades the Western European nations. Activision also took back the reigns of the series from Treyarch's Black Ops, and will aid the lacking graphics that Ops brought with it. I personally enjoyed MW2 at the times, but got overly tired of the maps. Black Ops' graphics were slightly sketch, but the maps and weapons (especially from the Map packs) were much better than the previous installment's. Looking forward to seeing if this newest game can combine the positives presented by its past relatives, and also whether it continues the ever-popular Zombie maps with more new aspects to the survival mini-game as it releases in early November.

Rage
Really the only reason I checked into this game was because my boy Blake Griffin did a comical trailer with the series. However the post-apocalyptic racing action seems a pretty sick concept, and should be a viable game for the 2011 season. Check the trailer for more info:

Brink
Another first-person shooter that I have seen a lot of ads for recently and that just popped out on the shelves is the new concept of Brink. Within Brink's gameplay, the gamer can be any one of four different classes of men, while being equipped with a equipment and weapon line unlike most any other game. The advantages of this game hinge around its ability to get all players involved within a multiplayer team, involved in different aspects that all help the cohesiveness of the group in its goal to win the selected match. A sick concept especially within a online party. Below is the trailer that relates more:

Hopefully these three reviews aid you in looking into some of the action games out this summer and fall, that you can get the most out of your system and the time you put into it.
