Once again we can expect another huge year of releases for the Xbox 360. Below we've picked out a not-so-small sample of the kind of big releases we can expect. There's a lot to look forward to, and this list of 35 is just the tip of the iceburg (we really are going to be spoilt for choice - narrowing it down to just 35 was not easy!). Note that we've only included games releasing from February onwards. Here are some of the games you can expect to look forward to on the Xbox 360 later this year:
While some video games overwhelm you with sheer scale, titles like Asura's Wrath and Doom Eternal make you the boss player right upfront.
Wolfenstein: The New Order turns ten years old today, so we decided to play it again and discovered just how much of an extinct kind of game it is.
It's an outstanding game and so was The Old Blood. Also a lost era of gaming. Interesting, I received a physical copy of The Old Blood 9 years ago today from Poland. It was digital only in North America initially upon release so I had to import.
Wolfenstein: The New Order launched 10 years ago today, but can it stand up to the modern FPS titles it inspired?
I disagree. Its still a fantastic game, with very good gunplay and a surprisingly loveable cast of characters and a good story trough many different and interesting setpieces
All The New Order needs for my tastes is a this gen enhancement patch.
I played New Order a couple of years after launch and I give it an 8/10. The shooter holds up because it is focused on being a good shooter. There is no crafting, no RPG elements, no open world find the question mark Weapons are fun. Enemies are fun. Levels offer a nice mix of stealth and shooting. You get to be the predator; this isn’t a game about fending off waves of enemies while a robot companion unlocks a door. Most importantly, New Order is the last of a dying breed of single player shooters.
Singleplayer shooters are still getting released every year, just look up "boomer shooters" and you'll find an an abundance of them. AAA fps campaigns, not so much.
Last year had Trepang2, RoboCop: Rogue City, Turbo Overkill, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, Dread Templar, Sprawl and more
The games you mentioned are not from AAA developers. Wolfenstein likely had a budget that was probably as big as all those games you mentioned combined. I'm not knocking the new wave of retro shooters. I absolutely love them (I think some get much higher review scores than they deserve though). I just really wouldn't describe Wolfenstein as purely a boomer shooter based on the relatively cohesive story, with cut scenes and is fully voice acted. Full set piece moments.
AA development seems to be focused keeping the single player solo experience alive. But the big developers are only concerned about the MTX and milking players who enjoy multiplayer.
The age of AA shooters. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing. I like less expense, shorter games.
Weird all the Wolfenstein articles.
Can you guess what will be announced at Xbox showcase?
What Machine Games did with Wolfenstein franchise is awesome. The game play definitely to me , is still very fun to play !!!
Mass Effect 2!!
Second, what's up with that bear? I never knew there was a game coming out titled naughty bear.
Third this list gave me a few other games that I'm looking forward to as well. Never played the first kingdom under fire ( willing to go back and play it though ), want to play Fable III, and I may also try Crackdown 2 after having tried the first one.
I'm really starting to hate this site, because every time I come here I always either A. Find a game that I have forgotten and usually end up pre-ordering and slowly paying for it or B. I find a game that is usually new to me and look into it some more in which case I'll pre-order it and buy it.
I hope Fable III is a real advance from Fable II - don't get me wrong, i loved the second game but I want something more this time around
Great list. A mention of ME2 would have been nice, but it is right around the corner.
Some good games upcoming
Naughty Bear :D
