GameRanx - "First person shooters make a strong return next year. Find out what you're in for in some of the best FPS games in 2013."
The Metro video game series started with a humble b-list title, before building a strong fanbase and becoming a pioneer in the industry.
Twinfinite: “War may never change, but the prices of rare games do!”
"And lastly, famous Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling helped to create the action-RPG’s setting. What’s really fascinating, though, is that the game was partially financed by taxpayers from Rhode Island (which allegedly lost the state millions of dollars). Yikes!"
1. Now infamous Schilling
2. No allegedly, it did. And they couldn't pay it back.
3. What really lost the money wasn't the SP release but the MMO they were working on. This was supposed to be an introduction into the MMO world.
I hate counting limited editions for these lists. I mean, they're made to be rare and expensive. It's far more interesting to hear about the NCAAs (even if most people know that one already) and the El Chavos than some massive hit that came with a $200 statue at retail.
Most Xbox games don’t hold as much value compared to other systems. Kameo, Blue Dragon, Last Remnant , and a handful or 2 of other games that I kept.
One of the biggest TV and movie tropes in the last decade has been the multiverse, the idea of exploring multiple dimensions to uncover alternate versions of existing ideas. From both a business and creative perspective, it makes sense why established franchises are shaking things up in this way.
However, there aren't many video games latching on to this trend, as rendering multiple worlds in real-time is a difficult feat and the medium is relatively young in comparison to its contemporaries, making crossover opportunities more difficult. Still, there are a few great titles that manage enough to overcome these challenges, and here are some of the best examples.
While I love someone mentioning Planescape, not really multiverse. Planes and dimensions, yes. But, they are typically their own locations and are very rarely tied to another 'verse' let alone another plane. The only things that are directly tied are the ethereal and material planes. Otherwise, they are dimensions created of their own design and goals by the creator/owner and not comprised of 'their own version of another dimension'.
The word "Best" shouldnt be used in the title because you are implying that you have already played them.
I agree with most of the list but I will say that Arma 3 should have been on there.
1, Bioshock: Infinite
2, Metro: Last Light
3, Crysis 3
... That is all i got.
X-Com looked great originally but I've heard it's having big problems.
@writer
I believe Homefront 2 is slated for a 2014 release.
Also, what game has that pistol model pictured above? Looks exactly like the Nerf X-Strike Maverick I have stashed in my weapons locker....I mean...
ArmA 3 should be on there and MW4 should be taken out if you make a list based on speculations.
