2012 is a great year for PC gaming. A lot of quality games are coming this year, out of which 30 most anticipated titles are selected here. Sorry for categorizing Max Payne 3 and Mass Effect 3 in the same "Third-Person" category. I thought that putting all these games in only three "camera perspective" categories would be the best option. :)

I'm looking to the Tomb Raider and... WHY Assassin's Creed 3 isn't here in this list?
Maybe will take a look at Stalker 2.
