Lotsa 2011 releases but which platform do I go for ?

Hey up all, happy new year etc etc...

Im having a bit of a ponder as the new year begins with regards forthcoming multi platform games.

Ive been a PS3 owner for years, but I got a shiny new 360 for Crimbo from Santa (or was it the misses?) that has already bust my wallet wide open on the Arcade service.

But now Im spoilt for choice, with so many top games coming soon I don?t know which platform to buy them for?

Anyone got any advice to sway me from one platform to another, I'll prepare myself for the fanboy posts and please discount exclusive games for obvious reasons.

In particular Im looking forward to

Dead Space 2
Bulletstorm
Mass Effect 2
Crysis 2
Deus Ex
Homefront
Brink

Omg, and theres more, theres so many! Sorry thumbs, youre going to be busy in 2011!

I can't provide a particularly informed opinion on any of those (only recently joined this generation with my purchase of a PS3 a couple of months back), but the Digital Foundry articles on Eurogamer are often an interesting view on differences between versions. For example, I think they've done something on the Mass Effect 2 PS3 demo, which could be worth a try, in lieu of the final version being available currently. The only general rule I seem to be able to discern from their articles is that Unreal engine games often seem to run better on the Xbox 360.

Omg, I know its an older game and not a new release but Metro 2033 didnt come out on the PS3. I had actually overlooked this title, its now cheap as chips and a good job I got a 360! Have to order that soon.

Thanks for that Digital Foundry info, just been looking at that, makes for some interesting reading, thanks Cobertizo !
