Crysis 2: Multiplayer modes and special edition packages unveiled at Gamescom – game itself looking pretty good tooPhotograph: PRDragon Age 2: Prettier than the first game and more intense too – but will the characters be enjoyable to banter with, as in the original?Photograph: PREnslaved: Written by and starring Andy “Gollum” Serkis, this action/adventure title could well be a sleeper hit this autumnPhotograph: PR
Kinectimals: One for the kids, yes, but this Kinect-only animal-raising game could attract older players if done right … and it's very pretty, tooPhotograph: PRGran Turismo 5: The classic hardcore driving simulator – this time with damage. And 3D too, if you can afford itPhotograph: PRKillzone 3: Shooter now comes with Move-enabled control and 3D visuals – will the core game match up, though?Photograph: PRStar Wars: The Old Republic: Looking very promising indeed and easily the biggest Massively Multiplayer game of 2011.

We’re quietly confidentPhotograph: PRDead Space 2: Probably not as scary as the orginal, but expect all the gore from before – this time with added space walkingPhotograph: PRuDraw GameTablet: And now for a change of pace – this is a drawing peripheral for the Wii. Possibly more exciting for the kids, but may get the mums and dads “drawing” on their Wii tooPhotograph: PR
