Joe's Top Ten Games of 2011

Player Affinity writes: "It’s almost the end of the year, and that means it’s time for the all important "Game of the Year" lists to be unleashed upon the world! At the beginning of each year, I think everyone always has some concerns as to whether or not there will be ten games worth talking about at the end of it. And every time, your worries are always proven unjust.. 2011 has been one of the greatest so far this generation and this list took a lot of time to finalize. So with that in mind, how about we get to the interesting part and run down some games?"

EA Shoots Down Dead Space 2 Remake Rumors: 'No Validity to This Story'

EA has shut down rumors that EA Motive considered a Dead Space 2 remake before shelving it due to low sales of the previous game, saying there's "no validity" to the reports.

Sure.... right.... at least remake dead space 3 w/o microtransactions bs.

XiNatsuDragnel43d ago

I sometimes I wished I didn't Ngl lol

Knightofelemia44d ago

Why not remake DS2 whether shot down or not it's still my favorite game next to DS1. As much as I hate EA I would buy or would have bought DS2 day one.

MeteorPanda44d ago

No validity XD "Guys guys, we cant possible make a good game or cater to the gamers wants, stop"

Yi-Long44d ago

I don't know if sales met their expectations or not. I just know that the high review scores received my attention so I was interested in buying it, but its price stayed high (50+ bucks) for so long that I simply never bothered picking it up.

Tacoboto44d ago

Doesn't pay full price
Doesn't pay *any* price
Ponders if sales met expectations regarding an allegedly canceled sequel.

Gee...

Yi-Long43d ago

Well, for starters, I'm sure there are plenty of games I never bought which did, somehow, still, meet their sales-expectations.

Concerning Dead Space; I never played and thus cared for the original. It's in multiple genres (shooter, sci-fi, horror) I don't particularly care about so it was barely on my radar pre-launch. I was never its target-audience.

When reviews hit, and it was scoring big, it gathered my interest, so while it wasn't in my field of interest, it mrans that I wanted to give it a fair shot and at least give it a try, as I do with many games across different genres; I tend to just cherry-pick the good stuff and see if it's for me or not.

But, I do wait for sales on those games I take a risk on.

Kornholic43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

Lol, you are a huge part of the problem. If a very high-quality game is not even worth 50 bucks to you, then what is?

I'm Replaying Skyrim (again), and So Should You

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.

anast49d ago

I tried, but it's a poorly made game that insults its customers.

lucian22949d ago

nah, only mods make it decent, and even then it's bad, and this is after i modded for at least 3 years

Nittdarko49d ago

Funnily enough, I'm about to play it for the first time in VR with 1000 mods to make the game playable, as is the Bethesda way
