GamesAreEvil presents a full roundup of the games demoed and discussed in yesterdays Press Conference from EA. After an unexpected start, we are greeted with some meaty details of some of the years most anticipated games.
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.
Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.
Pity.
This is a nice collection of classic. EA has opened its vaults and released a series of classic PC games to Steam for the first time ever.
f you haven't already, consider getting 8-Bit Armies or the new 9-Bit Armies. They're made by some of the same folks from the older C&C, with very similar mechanics; it's just the aesthetics that are completely different.
C&C Red Alert 3 and The Saboteur were two different yet completely unforgettable games to me from a better era of EA.
Wealth of Geeks explores some of the best gaming romances that have stolen our hearts over the years.
Just like Microsoft, there were some things that were amazing, and some things that were WTF? lol
Brutal Legend looks bad ass! XD
Mass Effect 2, NFS Shift, Fight Night Round 4, Brutal Legends, Star Wars The Old Republic, OMG!
Mass Effect not until next year? Aw, I was hoping that Facebook thing was right.
Overall, not that impressed with what EA showed. Sure, I'm excited for Mass Effect 2 and Star Wars Old Republic, but what they let us see wasn't that interesting to me.
