EX: "We entirely endorse the merits of academia, but if you're completely irresponsible and value having fun more than learning some rubbish you'll forget in a few months anyway, here are ten awesome titles coming out this month that will consume your free time and ensure you'll never get good grades."
From Xfire: "You'd think that there would be more good comic book video games (outside of the obvious superhero ones) released over the years, but the truth is, they are quite rare. Thankfully, a growing number of studios are tapping into this valuable resource to bring audiences the best comic book video games."
From Xfire: "It's been estimated that roughly half of the video games ever released on the market can no longer be downloaded or purchased. Whether this is exactly correct is not the point. Rather, we think that either way, the video game industry, as a whole, has done a terrible job at preserving video games and making older titles available to play for future generations."
You can play all of these games still lol. The headline is just misleading. Funny is that there is not one game in the list that you really can't play anymore due to it being online only games.
One you actually legit cannot play AT ALL is Noby Noby Boy. I miss turning my brain off and messing around in that game, was so psyched to re-download it when i rebought a ps3 slim, but you cant, even if it's in your downl library, along with a few other obscure PS3 games i had.
I would replace Transformers Devastation with War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron tho.
Transformers Devastation was good but not as good as Fall and War of Cybertron they should be on the list. SH 2 I can play any time I want since it came free in a $10 Xbox I bought used. The Simpsons Arcade I have on my PS3 surprised the Xmen Arcade game is not on this list or the Turtles arcade game either.
Re-releasing Scott Pilgrim vs The World doesn't fix things quite that easily.
"But because of some absolute scumbags at the top, I can’t in good conscience even think about giving this company a dollar at the moment. It would be like if Konami suddenly announced that PT and Silent Hills was coming back that would be great, but you also have to wonder what made them changed their mind."
You really did not have much to go on, but that just exposed how out of touch, fan news driven and un-industry you are. I get that you think that your heros can do no wrong and all, but get back to gaming kiddo. Squeak on.
Meanwhile, they are looking for contributors to deliver more of this. :/
Decent list. Eh. Dunno about Kane and Lynch 2 --demo didn't impress me.
StarCraft II (even though it was a July game) will make tons of kids drop out of school. It'll be like 1998 all over again.
I think VC2 is going to rule my August! Fortunately I've been out of school a long time. I'm not telling *how* long.
Good thing I'm out of school.
...is FAR worse for my wallet.
Mafia II, for sure, though.
Starting the semester up again in August sure does blow. This summer felt great and it allowed me to realize how many games I had stacked up to play that I couldn't due to being in school. August, the only game I'm looking forward to is Mafia II.
Then there's Halo Reach in September. Ulgh....might just have to be a part time student this semester haha.
At least one good thing comes from putting off gaming for school work: when you finally remember to pick it up it'll be cheaper :).
