With release date for Gears of War 3 on 20th September edging closer, pre-orders of the game hit 1 million according to reports! Yes, that's 1 million pre-orders!

The hugely succesful muliplayer Beta has now concluded as developers begin to "gear" up for launch in a few months. (Updated 18th May 2011)

Gears of War 3 for Xbox 360 is perhaps the most hotly anticipated video game of 2011. Continuing the story of Marcus and chums from Gears of War and Gears of War 2, the third person shooter will be released to the world on September 20th2011. Ahead of that, gamers who simply can’t wait for the next instalment can take part in the multiplayer beta which is launching in April of this year.

Bulletstorm, a brand new first person shooter from Epic has just been released to widespread critical acclaim with the added bonus in some versions of the game of containing exclusive access to the Gears of War 3 multiplayer beta. I have a feeling Bulletstorm will sell pretty well on its own merits, but this will certainly prove to be an added incentive to those wanting early access to “Gears”.

Originally due to be released in April, Gears of War 3 slipped its way down the release schedules and its September release slot will be hotly contested by the usual slew of Christmas video game releases.

Other video games hoping for success this year are Unchartered 3 on Playstation 3, Crysis 2 on multiple formats, including PC. The long awaited Duke Nukem Forever, Battlefield 3, Homefront, LA Noire, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Brink, Portal 2, Rage, Dragon Age 2, racing games Motorstorm Apocalypse, Dirt 3, Need for Speed: Shift 2 and Forza Motorsport 4. And if that wasn’t enough, there will also be a whole host of new Kinect games along with all the usual annual sports titles such as FIFA 12.

So a great year in store for video gamers, but which game if any of the above will have the power to topple the mighty Gears of War 3?
