GamesRadar: The Top 7... new games that you already played

"There are no new ideas. There are only new ways of making them felt."
- Audre Lorde, a poet who wasn't the first person to have this idea

The idea that there are no new ideas isn't a new idea at all. In fact, it's a pretty old one, and its veracity can be seen in the games industry too. Critics like to pooh-pooh the unoriginality of over-the-top, repetitive franchises that spawn unlimited uninspired sequels and rip-off clones. But is taking notes from great ideas of the past always a bad thing?

Hardly. In fact, GamesRadar has found that some of the best new titles are appealing precisely because they took advantage of and improved on great ideas from the past. Read on to find out why some of the best upcoming and recently released titles might give you an unexpected case of déjà vu.

Officially the worst article Gamesradar has ever done. At this point they've thrown all accountability out the window and will do anything for web hits.

Boycott?

At least they didn't try to trash Mirror's Edge. It is, after all, made with the PS3 being the lead platform, so my thought was they were going to pull a GameDaily and try to trash it as much as they can.

Braid tops the list, which makes this another article forcing the reader to learn about Braid and how ridiculously good it is, and how no one knows about it, and it should be bought despite its price, bla bla bla bla bla

Download the demo, if you like it, buy it.

I disagree, the demo does that game injustice.

It's nothing stellar, it's good, but the demo makes it look like just another platformer which it quickly turns out to not be after you start world 3.

everything sony has ever done (copied) comes to mind

I don't get it. The title is "new games that you already played" and on ME they list movies. I watch movies, not play. And I have never done parkour.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
