So we’re at the beginning of 2012, and what better way to look forward to the New Year than by hyping up the games that are slated to be released this year. I’ll start this feature by going over one of my most anticipated games of 2012: Tomb Raider.
Upcoming Games for PS Vita!
Are you anticipating the release of the PlayStation Vita? Sony has just disclosed the games that will accompany the Vita! For a full list, visit http://www.psu.com/US-PS-Vita-launch-lineup-announced–a013978-p0.php. Here’s a brief look at a few of the third-party publisher and launch window titles:
Yours to play now, in a galaxy of your own PC.
A while back, I took at look at the beta for the new massively multiplayer game from BioWare, Star Wars: The Old Republic. Well, as of the 20th, the game is officially launched, but for the past week some lucky players have been included in the pre-launch, leveling up our characters and generally trying to get as much neat stuff as possible before the servers really fill up. Still, with some extra patch time between the last beta weekend and the official live game having passed, what’s changed about the game itself?
Today, has been a busy day for Nintendo. The increasing of sales of the Nintendo 3DS, Shigeru Miyamoto taking a step back and the fifth anniversary of the Nintendo Wii in Europe. Seems to me Nintendo are very busy with the Christmas period getting into full swing (near enough). Going by reports from MCV talking to the GAME Group and other retailers – plus supermarkets saying, that they have more than adequate stock of the Nintendo 3DS – reassuring customers that they will be able to get a 3DS for this Christmas. So, no Wii launch catastrophe ahead? Those that didn’t pre-ordered was very lucky to obtain a Wii for when it first launched. Of course this is a different story, as the Nintendo 3DS launched in the UK earlier this year. I contemplated to get a 3DS from the very start – as it was the line-up of games which made me reconsider time & time again.
Let's take a look back, shall we?
2011 has been a hectic year for gamers and developers alike; we’ve all seen some great titles released into the market to fanfare and celebration, while others have fallen through the cracks. Companies have risen and fallen, suffered and benefited from the turmoil that was the past twelve months. In the meantime, the gaming and technology world has lost a few historic people this year. Taking a look back, here are some of the biggest and most important moments, games, and faux pas of the past year:
There has been a sudden revitalization of a lot of series taking place in the game industry the past few years. For the most part it is great to see long desired sequels like Diablo 3 finally coming to fruition but along with the idea to follow up on games that fans love is the idea to cash in on the exact same thing once again by slapping HD on the end of the title. These are called “HD remakes”.
I was lamenting reviewing Assassins Creed: Revelations even though I had volunteered to do it, in my eagerness to write up a review I hadn’t considered something rather obvious. At this point, you either know if you like the Assassins Creed series or not don’t you? Revelations is the final installment in the story of Ezio Auditore de Firenze, assassin extraordinare, descendant of Altair and ancestor of Desmond Miles. He has been one of the protagonists of Assassins Creed for the last three installments, Assassins Creed 2, Brotherhood, and Revelations, as well as explains what Altair did with his life after the events of Assassins Creed.
Firstly, sorry that the review is late. I have been far too busy killing endless poor pedestrians and rival gang members to a pulp with my extraordinary dildo bat… Yes.. A gigantic dildo bat that will literally knock you off your feet. Saints 3 not only has wacky weaponry, but it doesn’t take itself seriously at all throughout, and there is plenty of fun to be had around Steelport City.
I never thought I would play a game that reminded me of 2004′s “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”. I also never thought I would play a game about a dying old man’s final wish, or play a game that made me come pretty damn close to breaking down in tears. To The Moon is that game, and it’s probably the most charmingly unique game I have ever played. This is not to say it’s the greatest game I have ever played, but in an industry obsessed with creating the next blockbuster action franchise, it’s an amazingly refreshing experience.
