May is Huge, What Should You Get?

RespawnAction: " May 2010 is looking to be one of the best months of the year so far. Sure, March had God of War 3 and the hit online FPS Bad Company 2, but May has great games coming out on every platform with a variety of genres. Everything imaginable is coming out in some way or another next month, and there sure are a lot of hits to play. But which are the games that you should absolutely not pass up?"

They forgot to mention Split/Second (which looks better than Blur) and Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands. I'm torn between those 2 and Red Dead Redemption, although I think I'll go for the latter, due to my love of Rockstar games.

respawnaction5135d ago

BLur just seems to be a more solid package to me. Dunno why. Lol,watch me be wrong. ;)

t0mmyb0y5135d ago

Red Dead Redemption has been on my waiting list for years. Getting that and ModNation Racers

BattleAxe5135d ago

I'll probably get Red Dead Redemption (Looks to kill GTA4) and that will be it until MGS: Peace Walker comes out in June.

JL5135d ago

I'm with you tommyboy. RDR and ModNation are the two I'm getting. I want 3D dot too but that's going to wait a lil bit since I want the other two more. Also, I agree that Split/Second looks cool, but I think I'm going to end up passing on that since I have enough racing (once I add in ModNation) to tide me over til GT5.

Also, Alpha Protocol comes out June 1st and I really want that one as well.

Rent Halo ODST and try out the beta for about the week
Buy Red Dead Redemption
Celebrate classes being out

RockmanII75135d ago

Besides the Halo Reach beta I'm for sure getting into, the only other thing I'm thinking about getting is Blur. Would be interested in MNR but don't have a PS3. Oh, and Just Cause 2, while already out, will be better than RDR. Anyone know if Split/Second is getting a demo? I want to want that game but I know that I enjoy Blur so I will buy blur unless S/S can release a better demo.

Christopher5135d ago

Red Dead Redemption all the way. 3Dot Heroes comes out next week as well and seems to be a good game for the $40 price tag.

HolyOrangeCows5135d ago

Red Dead and possibly 3D Dot Heroes.

Mo0eY5135d ago

I've already bought SMG2. I'll be looking at Red Dead Redemption gameplay videos as well as reviews and my friends' opinions. I'm still trying to see if I want Split/Second or Modnation Racers for my racing needs until GT5.

BannedForNineYears5135d ago

Only game I'm getting is Red Dead Redemption. Woooooo!

Inside_out5135d ago (Edited 5135d ago )

Might take the day off work for AW, it looks that good...Have to play right thru....lost planet was a must till I played the demo...rental now...RDR looks INCREDIBLE...Have ODST, have to sneak a peak at beta, Reach gonna be huge... split second looks interesting...May does have some big games...E3 in June...that will be huge....

vhero5135d ago

is every month huge now or is every site just trying to get hits??

monkpunk15135d ago

Red Dead is a given, preordered too and i will probaly still be waggling my joystick to super streetfighter too...

UltraNova5135d ago

If red dead r. is anything like GTAIV I wont get it. However I m very excited for a wild west sand box game although I have my reservations in regarding the environment variation.. you know the wild west looks pretty much the same anywhere you look!

Now throw in a Clint Eastwood cameo and I m sold first day!

kevnb5134d ago

mario galaxy 2 is a big one, but meh. Lost Planet 2 looks like it might be all kinds of awesome though, just doesnt have the insane levels of hype yet.

Dee_915134d ago

Renting Red Dead and alan wake
buying modnation

meetajhu5134d ago (Edited 5134d ago )

Here is my picks

Ps3:Red dead redempetion,Modnation will rent it
Xbox360:Alan Wake. Halo Series don't care
PC:POP:FS(pirate and fk Ubisoft DRM)

frjoethesecond5134d ago

So there are two or 3 games a beta and the rest is shovelware. Is this what you need to get huge status? God of war 3 or SCC blew all this out of the water by themselves. I'll admit it's a good month but it's not huge.

ape0075134d ago (Edited 5134d ago )

halo reach beta of course, alan wake is on top of my list, super mario galaxy 2 is a close second and the under-hyped\amazing looking Red Dead Redemption

trying mod nation racer demo, Im pretty sure I'll like it, may get it

not too sure about LP2?? but I want it

but the biggest problem is..... I NEED MONEY :(

Nevers5134d ago

CoffeewithChess5135d ago

So, other than the Halo: Reach beta, is May lacking in FPS games?
Interesting!

respawnaction5135d ago

Im not too sure (nor did I really care) if Alpha Protocol is an FPS or TPS.

Baka-akaB5135d ago

neither really , its a rpg .

respawnaction5135d ago

ohh, thanks man. Did not know.

Baka-akaB5135d ago

well given the spy theme it features action , and gameplay that isnt too far from Mass effect . It's 3rd person based as well .

Myst5135d ago

Hmm I know I'll be getting Red Dead Redemption the multiplayer will certainly add longevity. Currently torn between whether or not I want to get Lost Planet 2 or not...

respawnaction5135d ago

Alan Wake, from Max Payne and Control creator Remedy, is a horror classic, prompting one player to buy 4,000 copies that don’t even work.

Kind of a goody story...

On a serious note, that is why I try activating gift cards asap. It's happened to me where the store didnt scan it right where the card was unusuable. Happened at Wally World.

gigoran828d ago

wait, that place is real? national lampoon wasn't kidding?

Tacoboto27d ago

I just bought two of the MonsterVerse Godzilla movies on 4K - both had digital copies expiring in 2023. Both were actually expired.

I'd be surprised but it's WB, of course they'd actually expire them

Knightofelemia28d ago

Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.

Chocoburger27d ago

Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.

Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.

Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄

Rynxie27d ago

Most likely she wanted to resell a few or most of them. However, it was a too good to be true situation.

27d ago
Profchaos27d ago

So in short she paid $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.

I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.

Rynxie27d ago

No, most likely to resell. However, she ended up getting screwed.

Asplundh27d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.

15 PS3 Games That Would Absolutely Shine as PS5 Remakes

You left out The Darkness games bring those back

fan_of_gaming32d ago

The head of Nightdive Studios has posted that The Darkness is on their list of games they want to do, so hopefully something comes from that

Yi-Long32d ago

Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.

Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.

A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.

Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.

fan_of_gaming32d ago

Good suggestions, I'd be in for
LittleBigPlanet
LittleBigPlanet 2
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
Motorstorm: RC

purple10132d ago

God damn I love motorstorm so much

At the time I had a low-mid range sony 40” tv, The latency to the controller was waaaay too high, would to play a modern version

In saying that later I got a 3d lg tv and playing the 3d motorstorm in my bedroom with the environment crumbling around the track, was something special, specially compared to what others were playing at the time, will always remember that

Skuletor32d ago

Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.

CrimsonWing6932d ago

I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.

Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.

fan_of_gaming32d ago

Yeah for sure, sequels would be ideal. But in the current market environment where many big publishers are risk-averse, I'd rather get a remaster or remake that a developer can do on a budget that will be approved, rather than nothing for an IP.

Inverno32d ago

I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.

fan_of_gaming32d ago

Yeah I'd be fine with remasters of PS3 games too, they don't have to be remakes.

Rockstar still strying to make GTA plus work
Should be $6 for the rdr game on sale not 6 bucks for a months playtime

Exvalos46d ago (Edited 46d ago )

I hear ya, 49.99 or whatever the price on that game is, is a bit stiff seeing as it's just a port.

anast46d ago

Why would anyone rent this game?

jznrpg46d ago

One of my favorite games from PS3 generation. I have the remaster as there was a buy 2 get 1 free deal a while back but the price they are charging for the port is way too high although not surprising at all.

CobraKai46d ago

Still tryna milk a dried up cow
