Research suggests Gears of War 3 is 2011's most anticipated game

Market research firm Ipsos has suggested that Gears of War 3 is 2011's most anticipated game.

The firm ranked the most anticipated titles of the year in the UK and US based on purchase intent, and Epic's third person shooter led the way in both territories.

Forza Motorsport 4 placed third on UK gamers' wishlists, Mass Effect 3 came fourth, and Need for Speed: Shift 2 fifth. You can see the full chart in the image to the left.

There were some surprising ommisions from the list, with no place in the top 25 for LA Noire, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, or new Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty games.
