My last game purchase of 2011 was Halo CE Anniversary. My first purchase of 2012 is a pre-order of Mass Effect 3. With my backlog of games sitting on the shelf waiting to be played I can pretty much as that Mass Effect 3 will be my first purchase of 2012 when it releases in march. I'm just now getting to Portal 2 and I'm only half way through Zelda SKyward Sword.
