It's all been very 'hush-hush' up to now, but James Cameron, the director behind the likes of The Abyss, Aliens and Titanic, has been working away on a new stereoscopic 3D film titled Avatar for about four years. Recently, the first information regarding the top-secret film began to trickle through thanks to the filmmakers revealing the videogame tie-in.
There have been so many games in the industry that were overhyped. In the end they went on to become such huge flops that their names will never been forgotten just due to the fact that these were a combination of both commercial and critical failures.
This article (spread out over numerous pages to maximize clicks) is a joke. Apparently all of these games are both critical and commercial failures, and yet the writer even points out how Diablo 3 (number 1 on the list) was the best-selling PC game the year of its release and broke various sales records (selling 12 million copies in first year).
How does that constitute a commercial failure, exactly?
Apparently the author does not know, since their reasoning for Diablo 3 being the number 1 flop on PC so far is this mess of broken English:
"And if looks for the game play and different actions, legendary items are sometimes worse than rare items and also the gold rate is very low you need lots of gold to get the items from the market. Also online connection requirement can cause some serious frustrations, weapon system flies in the face of traditional RPG logic. One of the most annoying thing is disconnection from server will ends the game and you have to start over."
Was this written by a 12 year old? What a garbage website.
"(ESRB) had listed entries forLimbo for the PlayStation 3 and PC platforms, Playdead confirmed that this was a mistake on ESRB’s part, and that they had no plans for the game on these systems"
Limbo is on Steam......
Read the article and first thought that comes to mind
"God dammit!! I f***ing gave them a site visit count"
What a piece of sh*t article. Might as well include all kickstarter games and the cheap ones found in walmarts PC game section.
Also seriously we can't report the guy who submitted this nor the people who approved it. How the hell can we get quality articles on N4G?
"We decided to put together a list of some of the best dinosaur games for the PC, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii and more."
Surprised Dino Crisis 1 wasn't on here, or the early Jurassic Park movie games, they were good
I was so excited for Jurassic Park on my SNES. When I first got to play it I was expecting so much more than walking around collecting dinosaur eggs. In comparison to the Genesis version which made it look so cool and awesome, the SNES version was definitely a head scratcher.
The arcade light gun games were fun too.
We really need more dinosaur games....so many Zombie themed games but never enough Dinosaur ones
Dino Crisis 3? seriously? that game was so bad it killed the franchise! should have gone with DC 1 or 2 IMO.
Why the author choose Dino crisis 3 over 1 and 2 is beyond me. The list is called top 10 Best Dinosaur games. so why chose the worst in the series. And James Cameron's Avatar the game? Really!?
3D in video games is rather a hush hush affair, almost a pandering to those who have adopted 3D TV sets and monitors. With little fanfare for 3D enabled games, is it really just one big failure?
no not really as matter of fact im getting a 3d tv next week sony and a sony 3d blu ray hometheatre system
i believe its not a failure, more a work in progress. Eventually it will have its day.
Im not really into shooter heavy third person games. There is no reason why games just dont have a 3rd person and 1st person view to choose from. A good example of who does does it right is the Dice team. Battlefield 1943 allows you to be in first person when it comes to combat, but yet change to first and third person view when your in a vehicle. I guess Cameron is not as much of a genius as he used to be?
I so thought this was exclusive to MS because of the previous avatar game lol. I assume this is tottaly different with the same name? Or is this a sequel?
