The 2013 video game release season is slowly transitioning out of the dog days of summer into the fall months, which are always packed with triple-A titles, yearly blockbuster-sized sequels, and this year a whole new generation of video game hardware and software. For the most part the first eight months of 2013 have been packed with some amazing video game experiences, and some consider it to be one of the best years ever as far as top-notch gaming experiences go. With that being said there still have been some turds that have made it to market, so it’s a great time to reflect on three of the worst video game experiences of 2013.
Mind you that this list is solely based on video games that EB has played and reviewed, because it could surely feature a few other lackluster titles that EB hasn’t had the time to waste on.
A new Star Trek PC and console game with a story-driven focus is in development at Jumpgate subsidiary gameXcite.
Oh, f$%&! They better not mess this up. Trek is miles better than any other Sci-fi franchise.
Keep up the good work!
They listened and made a physical version of Star Trek Resurgence, which I've pre-ordered, and I hope they make this new game both offline friendly and physical as well!
Immediate reaction - excited for new story driven Star Trek game.
Then I go and check GameXcite's website and see that the only thing they have released are a few Asterix games.
Set expectation to low
An old text-only strategy game remade with the graphics of the point-and-click adventure. The new version is now fully playable with a mouse only (also touch screen on Android tablets), but also with a keyboard only. You can also play with a controller by mapping cursor keys and Enter on the correct key.
This is very cool. I played many versions of Super Star Trek, some text based and some with rudimentary graphics. Back in the day, you’d get games like this off a floppy disk from a friend. I also played the 25th Anniversary Star Trek game. Cool to see a melding of the two.
Super Star Trek 25th is a remake / conversion of the strategy game Super Star Trek, written by Bob Leedom and David Ahl and published in the book BASIC Computer Games in 1978, mixed with the graphics of Star Trek: 25th Anniversary and the voices from ST The Original Series
GoW Ascension Number 3.
Review Score: 7 out of 10
I guess that was a tremendous year, then.
God of war Ascension is not as good as gow3 but it is nowhere near to be included in worst game of the year list......its still a very good game
This game is not polished enough to be called a God of War game.
The worst by far was Gears of War: Judgment.
In general i thing the 2 last gows (Ascension / Judgment) weren't necessary..
DmC: Devil may Cry needs to be in all 3 slots of this list.
