Anticipation without means, is half the fun or so it seems. While you are now looking forward to a great many games, at the end of 2011 I believe the listed titles are the games you will fondly remember playing. Both logical and indeterminable factors taken into account are: Hype, developer potential, nostalgia, recent critical successes, a series’ past sales and average review scores, all counted towards this unbiased Top 100 of big games you can expect to see in 2011. No doubt one of your favorite games is missing*. I want to emphasize this is not my personal opinion, I’ve had to cut about 100 games from the original overview in editing the past 20 hours. But I’m really happy with how the Top 50 turned out and hope to play half of them (all of us at VGB own all systems).

Why switch to the Comodo Dragon Internet Browser? As we begin the second decade of the 21 st Century, few would argue the point that the Web has grown up. The fact is today, the Internet is the world's foremost communicative medium. Each day, the volume of messages it transmits, the tidal wave of credentials, ID numbers and passwords it requires, the preponderance of data it exhibits, and the endless array of transactions it helps consummate is unsurpassed! So there has never been a more appropriate time to answer every Web user's need for a swifter, more versatile and more stable Browser. And the recent launch of Google Chrome has gone a long way toward fulfilling this need. Except for one thing. Today's Web users require MORE than a Browser that is faster, nimbler and more stable. They need one that is secure too! In 2009 alone, more than 25 million new strains of malware were created, causing a 400% jump in compromised Web sites worldwide. This is exactly...
