Sniper: Ghost Warrior hit the gaming scene in It wasn't very well received, but it sold well enough to warrant a sequel. The first installment was panned for containing too many run-and-gun missions, something Was MLB 2K13 doomed from the start?
Up until a few months ago, there was no word from 2K or MLB on a license renewal — and once it finally was announced in late January, it seemed too late for 2K to implement Reboots, remakes and reimaginings seem to be all the craze these days.
This year we've already seen a different take on Metal Gear, a modernized Devil May Cry and now the highly anticipated reboot of Tomb Raider.
Mass effect 3 was released a year ago today, and Bioware is finally ready to be done with it in the form of one last piece of DLC, Citadel. Starting a trilogy is the fun part — and if this generation of console franchises have proved anything, completing it is the hardest. Over the past two years, we've seen series like Mass Effect and Gears of War Developer Epic Games takes badass gaming to a new level with an excellent conclusion to one of the Xbox greatest trilogies.
Gears of War 3, like its predecessors, is a cover based 3rd person shooter that For the first time, fans of the record breaking series were given something that offered everything a Final Fantasy game Family Guy is one of the top animations on TV and, whether you love it or hate it, continues to pull in massive numbers. The first attempt at The Hitman games were a master class in stealth and player choice when they were originally released.
Agent 47 could find a thousand ways of eliminating any target and sneaking out without anybody being any the Hell if you asked EA sports 5 years ago to talk about their new hockey game they would Aliens: Colonial Marines has been in development for over half a decade.
Despite the track record of developer Gearbox, and the popularity of the sci-fi franchise, the much anticipated game has been delayed more There has been a distinct lack of business sims these past few years. While Theme Park and its ilk bring back happy memories for those old enough to remember them, something about the genre has led to it Five years ago, the virtual basketball landscape was a completely different place. EA and 2K were locked in a heated competition on both the pro and college levels, both studios known to pump out two quality The amount of customization options catered to countless gamers, allowing for several styles of play.
Skyrim is the fifth game in The Elder Scrolls franchise. Technically a direct sequel, it is not necessary to have played previous Elder Scrolls games. The gameplay depth on display is truly astounding. The expansiveness does not stop there. In addition to detailed gameplay, the setting and countless hours of playtime are some of the most robust features you will ever see in a video game.
Due to the commitment required to complete this game, it is true that Skyrim is not for everyone. Those brave enough to take on the task are rewarded with a luxury of high quality aspects. In this fictional world, Bethesda does not shy away from content. In fact, the player is drowned in content. As a role-playing game the player is tasked with traversing a vast territory all while ranking up certain abilities.
As the game progresses the player gains access to better, abilities and equipment. The countless fantasy elements from dragons to giant axes are sure to make any fan of the genre gleam with joy. For a game that must render several unique environments it is truly stunning how gorgeous this game looks. The graphic quality is superb and the attention to detail is beyond that. The ability to choose how to play is what makes this game so unique. No two playthroughs will feel the same, and the lack of linear gameplay completely surrenders the narrative to the player.
This takes open world gameplay to the next level. Your journey is entirely up to you. The Call of Duty franchise is the most successful firsts person shooter series of all time. Due to the success of its second title, Call of Duty games now release on an annual basis.
As of there has been a new Call of Duty game every single year. With constant international releases, the pressure to up the ante is prevalent. The Xbox ushered in seven different Call of Duty titles. Gameplay versatility has always been a selling point for the franchise. There is truly something for every type of gamer.
Players can decide between three primary game modes: the ever-popular multiplayer, the campaign that plays like an action movie, and the arcade style survival zombie mode.
For the first time ever, the campaign features a non-linear story. This exciting new feature means that the outcome of campaign mode rests heavily upon the decisions you make throughout the run.
The zombie mode is more of the traditional fun one could expect from the fan favorite mode. Playing with friends offers countless hours of entertainment. The biggest change yet arrived via the multiplayer mode. Users are given ten points to equip weapon attachments, perks and equipment, and online multiplayer weapon customization now displays more depth than ever.
This appealed to a casual fan base as well as helped nurture the competitive scene. Few video game franchises boast the historical relevance on par with the Sonic franchise. Modern times have not been kind to the blue blur.
As the popularity of 3D gameplay emerged, Sonic slowly delved into irrelevance. Where most modern attempts at 3D Sonic games have been met with resounding failure, Sonic Generations attempts to right past wrongs and get the speedster back on track.
Sonic Generations offers both 2D and 3D gameplay. This wonderful array of gameplay elements makes for a worthwhile experience. The Sonic development team came up with a wholly original concept to conceptually influence the revisiting of classic Sonic levels. The time travel-themed plot involves the meeting of modern Sonic and past Sonic.
Together, they must put an end to Dr. This is an interesting way to present the player with nostalgia by playing through iconic levels such as Green Hill Zone. The graphically enhanced versions of past levels look gorgeous. Couple this with the immediately recognizable Sonic music and the bone chilling nostalgia is palpable. Although Sonic remains the one playable character it is nice to see old friends reunite. This game ultimately acts as a tribute to the Sonic franchise.
The speedy gameplay that once innovated the gaming industry is back in full force. Taking control of Sonic and speeding through levels is a ton of fun. Unfortunately, the modern levels incorporated do not do much to innovate the gameplay. Controls exhibit lag at times when in 3D levels, which is immensely frustrating.
Due to its failure to include new aspects, Sonic Generations will unlikely garner new fans. However, this is a solid addition to any Sonic fan's library.
For many, Need for Speed: Most Wanted was the last great game to be released for the acclaimed racing franchise. As the first Need for Speed game on the Xbox , it set the bar of expectations quite high. Unfortunately, Electronic Arts failed to recapture the things that made this game so great.
The great news is that we got to play Need for Speed: Most Wanted. For the first time, the franchise placed an emphasis on the narrative. In previous installments, the plot was far from significant, as the focus was primarily on car customization. Most Wanted retained the customization depth that made the franchise a must try and incorporated a captivating story mode. As you defeat the members of this crew, more cars and parts become available, and customization options grow.
All while the player is trying to make a name in the underground racing scene, police forces are hot on the tail of these illegal events. Police chases play a large role in the outcome of races. Enemy AI can be difficult to deal with.
Thus, not only are you tasked with winning a race; you must also evade law enforcement. The graphics used to depict the gritty underground racing scene is a highlight. Cars effortlessly gleam off the neon lights during night races. Although the game was a commercial success and tons of fun to play, the multiplayer aspect held the game back.
Connectivity issues were too much of an influence over online races. With Skate 3 we have a video game that has reached cult classic status due to the support from passionate fans across the world. Something unexpected occurred and fans clamored to play the new Skate game.
Looking back on the event we now know the rise in popularity of skate culture is heavily linked to the success of Skate 3.
Fans have been demanding a follow up for years. Ten years later, Electronic Arts has finally broken their silence by announcing Skate 4 is in development. There is no better time to recapture the glory of Skate 3 than right now.
First and foremost, the open world is brimming with life. The vibrant colors on display are a joy to witness via the third person camera. It is no coincidence the gameplay takes place in an open world. Not having access to certain areas would be a shame amongst the gorgeous landscape. Players skate around a variety of environments, urban otherwise, executing numerous tricks to stack up points. If you get bored from the cityscape, you may venture into an industrial area. For a game that essentially forces you to repeat actions while skating, it is important to include some variety via different locations.
It is disappointing that the multiplayer mode must be purchased separately seeing as it is a resounding success. The depth and hours of gameplay multiplayer offers is well worth the purchase. The zombie craze was taking over the entertainment industry and Valve did not shy away from this trend.
In fact, Valve knew they had such a hot property after the release of the original game back in and immediately worked on developing a sequel. Left 4 Dead 2 released exactly one year after its predecessor and improved on it in every way imaginable. Survival horror games were nothing new, however, Left 4 Dead 2 took the genre to new heights off the back of its innovative cooperative gameplay.
The story follows four survivors of an apocalyptic scenario that has turned the majority of humans into zombies. There are five different campaigns worked into this single title. The idea behind each campaign is to reach a safe point where the survivors can rest. Navigating areas becomes a real challenge and more importantly the first person camera creates a genuine frightening quality.
Due to this game being a first-person shooter, the action appears up close and personal. The game is no stranger to scenes of gore and violence. In fact, the game has been banned in several countries. Left 4 Dead 2 is made for cooperative play. It is simply not as fun to play any other way. You can still run through levels on your own, as any of the survivors not controlled by players will revert to acting as friendly AI.
Valve put a ton of attention to detail in their weapons, which are a huge appeal of Left 4 Dead 2 's strategic gameplay. Not all of the game modes are a success. The campaign is the clear frontrunner and all else hollows in comparison. All in all, Left 4 Dead 2 is a highly enjoyable game geared for brilliant cooperative play.
The third iteration of Guitar Hero launched the franchise into the stratosphere. This game was released to the public at the peak of the rhythm genre craze. The concept is quite simple to grasp. The player uses a controller shaped like a guitar in order to play the correct notes at the right time as they scroll across the screen.
Three core elements make this game a must-play. The first is the catalog of songs. Players can dive into a whopping total of 73 songs. Not only is the catalog filled with memorable songs at launch but the developers also offered continued DLC content. Players could download additional songs of their choice after launch.
