Which Game To Play in 2011?

Less than two months to go and I'll be cancelling my subscription from WoW! *cheer* While the good ol' online comrades are gonna be missed, it'll also be good to be free at last from the endless nerdraging and the brainless e-thug e-peen stroking.

I'm gonna be taking a break from gaming for about a year to make way for some personal changes. But I'm pretty sure that once I'm emotionally and mentally settled, I'll be needing my usual gaming fix again. 2011's gonna be coming out with some pretty exciting titles but I've decided to only play one, mostly for mental and financial sanity. I've narrowed down my list to two, but which one though? Decisions, decisions...


Bioware's Star Wars: The Old Republic (SW:TOR) is a breath of fresh air from the usual sword and spell genre. Jedi vs Sith, airships, planets, hyperspace travel... But like WoW, it's also played online, so does that mean that I have to subject myself to the torture of mingling with online elitists again?


Blizzard's Diablo III on the other can be played as single-player so at least I would be able to have a good time without the pain of playing with mentally subnormal people. It's gonna be back to the old sword and spell style of fighting though.

Yes, I'm a nerd. You can't change me. t(-.-t)
