Diehard GameFAN: The Top Ten Releases of First Quarter 2011 That I’ve Had the Most Fun With

DHGF: One of the things we do here at Diehard GameFAN is allow each staffer to do a “Top Ten Games of the Year” list so that readers can see our own individual tastes and choices. This allows us to put a spotlight on games that perhaps only one or two of us have played and give gamers a chance to see why they are worth picking up. Well, on a flight to Minneapolis, I was making a list of all the games I’ve played that were released in the first three months of 2011 and was surprised that it totalled up to twenty-five titles. If things progressed at that same rate, I’d be up to 100 games this year. Because of that I’ve decided to do a quarterly top ten this year as well. Part of this is because I tend to play a lot of obscure and/or niche games in comparison to the rest of the staff so this gives our readers a second chance to see what they might have missed, while the other part is that readers seem to like me in blatherskite mode.

The only issue they'll be encountering is the laziness and incompetence of whatever dev is remaking. Be it GF themselves or the dev behind DP remakes.

Pokémon Black and White Doesn't Need a Remake - It Needs a Port

There isn't enough to improve in Pokémon Black and White to justify remaking it. Instead, Game Freak should make a port of these beloved games.

They did this with diamond and pearl and those are the worst pokémon games to date because it's worse than the ds counterparts

-Foxtrot509d ago

I'd rather they combine this and the sequel as one game, do it so the post game content is Black and White 2.

While I think B&W 2 were good we should have still gotten Pokemon Grey, some people liked holding on for a more complete beefy package compared to the originals.

EA Made Dragon Age and Mass Effect DLC Free On PC By Retiring The BioWare Points System

Immersed Gamer writes: "In order to replace the oppressive BioWare Points system, EA is making a large portion of the Mass Effect and Dragon Age DLC catalogs free for PC users.

For those of you blissfully unaware, EA and BioWare employed a payment system called BioWare Points on PC to pay for DLCs for titles like Mass Effect and Dragon Age. While PC gamers have been struggling with BioWare point’s unfair conversion rates and extremely scarce and cost-detrimental sales.

Console players have been allowed to purchase content in pieces through the appropriate Sony and Microsoft shops. For real money, and not BioWare monopoly bucks. In turn, console players missed out on some DLC content, such as Mass Effect 2 pre-order bonuses that have been repackaged into a DLC pack."

Great response to Ubisoft and their disgusting behavior. Ubisoft decide to take away DLC from people who paid for it, while EA give it for free to everyone when they realize their system sucks. Who would have thought that EA of all companies would be showing Ubisoft how it should be done (even if this is EA fixing their own mistakes as well).

What goes around comes around and I promise you, Ubisoft will see their actions blow back on them when their diminishing sales numbers and stock taking a hit downward. That's the only way a company learns when they decide to be reactive instead of proactive.
