NowGamer discusses 2011's must-have games across all formats, from 3DS, home consoles and PC. It's only a top ten so expect some omissions.
For those who don't have time for massive open worlds or role-playing games with epic tales, these 15 games are worth checking out.
GB: "With this feature, we take a look back at the incredible Batman: Arkham City with the aim of analyzing it from the perspective of a 2024 release."
Reviews are finally out for Marvel's Spider-Man 2, and the game's Metacritic review score means Marvel still hasn't toppled DC.
The Arkham games are largely excellent, a shame they are being followed up by that god awful looking suicide squad game.
All 4 Arkham games are just amazing...
With the Gotham Knights turning out sub par, hope the Suicide Squad fails as well... So that both Rocksteady and WB Montreal goes back to creating good single player DC games ...
A batman beyond game maybe?
Having the game fail would make it harder for them to get funding for their next game, please don't wish this on them. They already delayed the game a whole year after backlash, so we still have to wait and see how it will turn out.
You can't expect a game to match 96-94 meta apple for apple. Different era and different gen. No need to diminish either game's achievement. Arkham City and Spiderman 2 are both amazing sequels that improved upon their already incredible first parts.
To back that up, there are major websites that adjusted their review scales.
IGN used to have a 100 point system; now it's a 10 point system. I remember GameSpot back in 2004 was razed for giving Halo 2 a 9.4 when IGN gave it like a 9.7 or 9.8
Arkham Asylum was great, but when City came out... wow what a total overhaul that was. Nothing has had that type of night/day difference in scope and scale since.
SM2 is looking to be a great game in itself. Definitely an upgrade over the previous entries. Just from the opening battle with sandman, it gives me god of war 2 vibes with how that one opened with the battle with colossus of rhodes. That is still one of my favorite sequels of all time.
And right on cue, here comes the downplaying of Insomniacs masterpiece, not gonna work, this game is gonna be beast in success.
'' here comes the downplaying of Insomniacs masterpiece''
You know that train is never late.
will make me a better person.
Change your life? Maybe in a "got fired for pretending to be sick so I could play them" kinda way.
All consoles are becoming out dated,better GPU,CPU,more memory,larger drives will usher in the killer stuff we all are looking for.
completely agree with #1, Deus Ex 1 changed my life, and if Deus Ex HR is anything like the first one then it'll be an amazing game.
I would also have to put the new Mortal Kombat on the list because of Mortal Kombat 1 and 2 and how significant those titles were. FATALITY! :P
The only life changing game on there is The Old Republic, in that, it'll ruin the lives of many Star Wars nerds and MMO players. It'll ruin friendships and relationships and marriages just like WoW and Everquest before it. I don't think that's a very positive thing to promote.
I was hoping the Last Guardian would come out this year but it doesn't look like it's going to happen. But who knows, maybe there will be a surprise release announcement at TGS that it's coming in December or something. Very doubtful though.
