I know, it’s the obvious 800-pound gorilla to throw in a “most anticipated” slideshow, and we don’t even know for sure at this point it’ll make 2012, but Rockstar’s one of our brightest lights, simultaneously celebrating and gleefully hammering American pop culture. We’re still light on details here, but we know it’s set in San Andreas, the series’ Southern California analogue, and that it’ll be “the largest and the most ambitious game Rockstar has yet created” as well as a “radical reinvention of the Grand Theft Auto universe.”
For: TBD (probably PS3 and Xbox 360, with the PC to follow)
ETA: TBD 2012 (we hope)
