It isn't a hard list to write, and you all probably have your own game to add on here too. Tell me what you agree/disagree with over on our forums. Now lets get started with a more than obvious one!"
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Alone in the Dark developer Pieces Interactive has been hit with layoffs a month after its release, as per the latest information.
That genuinely, genuinely sucks. The reboot has clear flaws, but it really felt like a solid first step for this team to receive *greater* investment.
Shenmue: Reclaiming the Path is a fan game using Dreamcast-era visuals, and tells a new story within the Shenmue saga taking place in both Hong Kong and Guilin. Its expected to release on September 16th.
Something about recreating old school graphics in an era of HD high poly photo realism just hits a spot. I'm not nostalgic cause I mostly played GameCube and GB/A, but it's a visual style that gets over looked even by indies.
Definitely a fan project. Terrible hand animations. Some characters have very bad body proportions. Some look like little kids in adult bodies. Some have short arms, small head, big hips and so on.
Lol @ FarCry 2. I really enjoyed that game, but you're absolutely right- driving and map reading was the most poorly implemented feature in the game. I crashed so many times!
I don't see how Halo 3 was disappointing, it finished the Halo 3 storyline which is what everyone wanted, Halo 2 despite me enjoying it somewhat can be seen as disappointing to some, not so much 3.
Tomb Raider...did people even have expectations for that game? There's only one reason why that game sells...
exotic locations.
200K in the 1st week.. that's just weak
KILLZONE 2 BY A COUNTRY MILE. Nothing else even comes close
