Dante's Inferno seems promising. Odd marketing campaigns aside, I'm sure they can pull something out.

Good picks, but you're missing one heavy hitter coming out in March: FINAL FANTASY XIII. Check out the trailer and tell me those graphics and that story doesn't look like it'll blow everything else out of the water this year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SJPeFNbhOs

I am hoping The Secret World will drop this year, but with launch date and external betas not out yet I might be disappointed.
It was originally being marketed as the big save the world before December 21, 2012 but it looks like they are bending that in favour of a more long term game.
