Michael Futter writes: With E3 next week and our schedules chock full of gaming goodness, we thought we would share a few of our most anticipated titles that we’ll be seeing in Los Angeles. Certainly, this doesn’t cover every game that we’re excited for, but these are topping our list.
While gamers usually take notice of the mainline missions, these 5 side quests deserve more widespread attention for how entertaining they are.
Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.
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.
Great list of games! AC III and Borderlands 2 are top of my list, and Lollipop Chainsaw is a game that I am looking forward to buying at launch.
Oh man. I am so excited for XCOM. That game was glorious.
I'm really not looking forward to much at this years E3, which probably means that everyone's kept things well under wrap and that I'll be blown away. I hope I'm right!
Don't remember hearing about Heroes of Ruin but it looks and sounds like it might be interesting.
