The year 2011 has been wonderful to us and with the year 2012 around the corner, we look back at which games amazed the Heartcore Gamers. With so many awesome titels in one year, narrowing it down to ten top titles was a chore. So, how what games blew our editors’ minds? It’s time to reveal our favourite games of this year!
Interview with Stephen Russell, Actor for (Nick Valentine, Codsworth, My Handy) in Fallout 4 which is a vast open world role playing game set in the apocalyptic wastes of Boston, the Commonwealth. The career goes further with other Bethesda games from Starfield to Prey to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.
Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.
Pity.
2 Mario Games, Rage, and Human Revolution made your list but no Dead Space 2? For shame, staff. For shame.
Good list. Only game I can't agree with is deus ex.. Was a great concept, but imo poorly executed. The graphics were average, the ai was atrocious, and the upgrade system becomes derivative halfway through the game. Then there's the repetitive environments and uninspired weapons.
2 mario games? yea right
i replace with resistance 3, killzone 3.
