Top 10 games to buy in July

EX: "June was a pretty sparse month for gamers. That's not to say there weren't any good games released, but for the most part, everyone's attention was focused almost exclusively on the presentations at E3 2010. July is really more of the same.

Developers and publishers spoiled gamers during the first quarter of 2010, and now there's a noticeable decline in quality games being launched during the summer months. However, July still has more than enough top tier games shipping out to put a severe hurting on your wallet. It's not the onslaught of AAA exclusives like in January and February, but you'd be foolish to skip gaming in July entirely.

Besides, what else are you going to do during the summer? Go outside? Please --quit fooling yourself, bust open your piggy bank and go buy the games on this list."

Not much of a summer drought this yr. Some big titles releasing in July.

Queasy5055d ago

The RPG releases help keep it from being meh.

Imperator5055d ago

I'm getting SC2, and that's about it. From the demo, Crackdown 2 looks terrible and boring.

Perjoss5055d ago

Starcraft 2 should not even be on this list, its not a game, more like a way of life.

killyourfm5055d ago

Not sure about Arc Rise, but I have to solidly agree w/ the rest of that list.

poopnscoop5055d ago

Every time I see this retard post, I swear to God my stomach churns. Look at all the crap this idiot posts -- all Nintendo and Sony garbage that any real gamer wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole.

What about the REAL good games, like Crackdown 2 or Blacklight: Tango Down or DarkStar One – Broken Alliance --Xbox 360 exclusives that put to shame the garbage that's on this list.

Fail list, fail writer and fail web site. Good riddance.

rumplstilts5055d ago

Starcraft 2 would like to have a word with you...

Newtype5055d ago

Will either piss off a lot of people or people will like it. There's currently a problem with the BNet 2.0.

GrilledCheeseBook5055d ago

only real problem with b.net 2.0 is the lack of chat rooms WTF with that. Didn't think chat rooms were a problem

ebgeer5055d ago

Why is it that all "real gamers" play shooters(whether it is 1st/3rd/1st person space)? You do understand that there are other genres of games besides shooters?

I couldn't think how to respond to a post like that with anything other than "lol."

His post is a troll comment.

marsbarmaria5055d ago

Well I wouldn't buy ALL of these games...and I wouldn't put all of them in my top ten list. There's a lot of obscure stuff out there that's just as good but will never make it to lists like this. But DEFINITELY looking forward to Star Craft. Oh yeah.

Canary5055d ago

A generic football game and a PSP port? Eh... okay.

Only must-buys on my list are Dragon Quest IX and Starcraft II. Maybe Dragon Quest VI, depending on when it's released... thought it was supposed to be this summer.

I'll have to make this a mission the next time I blow through Tokyo.

Hopefully soon, given the limited availability.

Seraphim293d ago

send me one while you're at it. I mean what's better than Whiskey and Persona? A cigar with the two, and that would be perfection personified.

Rumor: Persona 3 remake and new Jet Set Radio game footage appears online

A video reel showcasing what appears to be work-in-progress footage of a Persona 3 remake and a new Jet Set Radio title surfaced online this morning.

Vits388d ago

A Persona 3 remake would be incredible. It's one of those games that doesn't really have a "best way" to play because the content is split between versions.

And a new Jet Set Radio is definitely interesting. But I do wonder how the current public would accept it. Both previous titles are extremely arcade in their execution.

jwillj2k4387d ago (Edited 387d ago )

What’s your opinion on why arcade games aren’t loved on consoles? Why aren’t play and go games desired? Why are Crazy taxi, Daytona usa, virtua cop type games only reserved for vr now? I’m asking a lot feel free to ignore lol

Vits387d ago (Edited 387d ago )

That is a very good question. I would assume that the price/content ratio would be the large reason. But given that even cheaper games had a hard time selling (see https://www.engadget.com/20... it's probably not the only factor. So it's really hard to pinpoint what exactly might be the problem.

As for why those games thrive in VR. It's also hard to find an explanation, but I assume that is mostly to do with the limitation of the platform as of now. That isn't really suitable for more "console" experiences, human movement, in particular, is a pain in VR, so stationary games or rollercoaster experiences ended up being preferable with translate well to arcade games.

Lightning Mr Bubbles386d ago

When are we going to get a Persona 6 though?

LoveSpuds387d ago

I think there is a market for good arcade style games as demonstrated by the excellent HiFi Rush but I think it's a question of setting realistic targets in respect of sales. A huge chunk of the game playing public weren't born when JetSet Radio came out so I am not sure that the reverence and nostalgia forr the old game exists across the whole of the market. But there will be a big enough market from older gamers such as myself who will snap it up, so if they set realistic sales targets and spend the right amount on development, there is defo scope for it to be a successful project.

notachance387d ago

here I am still hoping for a sequel where they’re trying to save MC from his fate..

also they never really explain why the shadow operatives which was made specifically to handle anything shadow related never made an appearance when freaking tokyo merged with the other world in P5

spicelicka387d ago

I think after the reception of Hi-Fi Rush Jet Set Radio could far well.

I'd love a new JSR but Bomb Rush Cyberfunk looks to be filling that void very nicely. Definitely get both if they release

LG_Fox_Brazil388d ago

That short video looks amazing, I love Persona 3, it's one of my favorite games ever. Hopefully this remake will come with the FES expansion included

XiNatsuDragnel388d ago

Looks great P3R would be great and JSR hmm interesting.

Soulsborne387d ago

Looks like they got p3 remake and P6 cooking. In Atlus we trust. One of the final kings of jrpgs.
