2013 is going to be a huge year in gaming. With expectations of new console announcements and AAA titles for gamers to look forward to the year already seems more than promising for the gaming community. One of the fan favorite genres in gaming has always been shooters. Whether the shooter is in first-person or third-person most players don’t really care as long as they are killing something. Shooters have grown to be the largest genre in the gaming industry and in 2013 the trend will be no different. 2013 sets the stage for some great shooters to look forward to, with over 15 shooter titles already in the cards for the year and the years has only just begun. As this genre still remains the super power in video games, one might be asking themselves which of all these titles is already set to be the more promising of the year?
Lost Planet 3 launched 10 years ago today, with an unusual take for it's time; casting the layer as an everyman opposed to an action hero.
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.
Me too. Here's the best I can do:
El Chavo Kart $90.14
NCAA Football 14 $87.72
Spiderman: Edge of Time $75.94
Spiderman Web of Shadows $75.09
Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions $67.76
Wow, El Chavo Kart is not at all what I expected by the name. 100% looks like a Sackboy Kart game.
It's so odd that so many Spider-Man games are seemingly given lower print runs, even if they're not the best games.
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'.
Dont have my heart set on Army of Two but i do hope that it turns out to be pretty good as i do love a good coop game. Hopefully it will be better than the last one because the last one sucked so bad.
Looking forward to hearing more infromation on Battlefield 4... now thats a game i have my heart set on before i even get to see a screen or trailer haha
I'm excited for Bioshock!
Metro;Last Light should have been on the list
I agree with NYC_Gamer that Metro should have been on the list.
I think My list would be. (In no particular order)
Gears of war: Judgement
Metro 2033: Last light
Bioshock: Infinite
Crysis 3
Killzone: Mercenaries (Confirmed for 2013?)
Gonna be a good year for Shooters, some spice and diversity for sure.
WOW.... NO TALK OF MW4?? WTH?
