10 September Games You (Probably) Missed Because of Halo: Reach

Ex: "As awesome as Halo: Reach is, a lot of good games came out this month that any real gamer should not miss out on. So, before you rush off into next month to play Fallout: New Vegas and the such, be sure to take a look over this list and make sure you didn't miss out on games you'll later regret not playing."

IMO, almost all the games on this list deserve more recognition than Halo: Reach. I played it, and I still honestly can't tell what all the fuss is about.

Obvious troll is obvious, you don't have a 360

Reach is overhyped. Sold well 'cause the 12 year olds eat that shit up and you know its the truth. Its just like hip-hop culture and everyone eating that shit up. Reach is a great game but not as amazing as some people like to say it is.

Jaces4958d ago

butt hurt that someone didn't think it was "ZOMG AMAZING!!"?

It rode the hype train all the way to town and came up short.

MisterNiwa4958d ago

Well, see... I got Halo: Reach and Dead Rising 2 on 360, Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep and Phantasy Star Portable 2 on PSP, Professor Layton and the Unwound Future and Pokémon Black (JPN) for NDS.

The only ones I still play are KH: BBS, PSP2, Prof L. and Pkmn Black.

240 2010-2012 games you've rightfully missed or just plain don't wanna play because you own the worlds best seller halo reach

I dunno about you guys, but Halo: Reach was the only game I was playing this month. Thought about getting a PS Move, but man, Halo is taking up all my free time these days.

PS Move just doesn't impress me. I'll prob wait for the Kinect instead.

Seijoru4958d ago

Obvious troll is obvious, you don't have a PS3.

It surprises me how many good games will be overlooked, for now, by a large number of gamers. Thanks to Steam, Civilization 5 and RUSE are still getting *some* hype, but some people won't even consider picking either up any time soon because, yes, they are playing other hyped up games like Halo: Reach. There's also a number of good RPG's that just came out. More of these games will get noticed once the Holiday season nears and people consider picking up more new games, but for now, many won't receive as much attention as they deserve.

There's no doubt that Halo: Reach is a good game for many, but this list is a good eye opener for those who may want to take a break from it and try another good (recently released) game.

poopnscoop4958d ago

There's a good reason why no one else bought anything this month.

1.) Halo: Reach is GOTY --why settle for second best?
2.) PlayStation Move was easily a huge flop --Kincet will dominate it next month, so why waste money on something that's going to die faster than the Virtua Boy?
3.) Everything else sucked in comparison to Halo: Reach.
4.) LOL @ Civilization. Only nerds who have no life waste time with that game. It takes forever to play and then someone just builds a space ship and wins. LAME.

skip2mylou4958d ago

yes keep sticking that MS dildo up ur ass

Britney Spears4958d ago

halo is overrated garbage,it comes and goes. kinect is a pos eyetoy wannabe that will fail life hddvd,how is that hd-dvd going for ya? lol..

"4.) LOL @ Civilization. Only nerds who have no life waste time with that game. It takes forever to play and then someone just builds a space ship and wins. LAME."

And this is why kids with ADD are the cancer killing gaming.

Also, IMO, Halo: Reach is just an overhyped and overrated shooter. Fun campaign? Yes, but not AWESOME OH MY GOD I'M JIZZING EVERYWHERE THANKS TO HOW AWESOME IT IS ASDASKFA.

So, it will be GOTY by journalists, but it won't be much on my eyes.

About PlayStation Move, I hope Kinect flops as well. Otherwise I'm going to go on a murdering rampage thanks to my favorite hobby dying off.

wat6344958d ago

The reason birth by sleep was overlooked is because it was another damn spin off.

Reach is the only game I bought and it will be a while before I buy another.

spektical4958d ago

its supposed to be the best "spin off" though.. i played it and its actually really good. :)

but i think we should be seeing some sort of info on KH3 already

wat6344958d ago (Edited 4958d ago )

Hope it is, will try it on my neighbors psp.

Hope some info comes out on kh3, I actually played both kh 1 & 2 and it has a really good storyline =)

@Captain - I mean, its on a damn portable, sure show some love to the smaller systems, but i want one on the consoles for once!

CaptainMarvelQ84958d ago

Kingdom Hearts BBS is NOT a spin off,it's actually a MAIN TITLE
and it is probably the best kingdom hearts game yet

rezzah4958d ago

Its the official prequel not some side story game. The story itself is important to the introduction of what happened before Sora came into the big picture.

It did not start with Sora, it only continued.

wat6344958d ago (Edited 4958d ago )

I know, just like halo reach, but really, the reason im ticked is that its on a portable.

@captain - it would be much better on a console though

CaptainMarvelQ84958d ago (Edited 4958d ago )

they're saving the big title (KH3) for the consoles
now they're trying to tie in the story by using these titles on the portables

NBT914958d ago

Agreed! Bith by sleep is an unnecessary game, it explained nothing, it just opens more questions and then awnsers them, in the end Sora is still on the island about to leave Destiny island.

Yay! We are back to where we were plot wise some four odd years ago -_-, and besides that 2 games in 4 years is not really enough to hold my interest in the plot anyway, don't even get me started on KH3DS

I know the shame. Not this game but I have about 5 different games with humiliating time in them.

It's about 4-5 hours a day, every day since launch.

Edits: bad math initially.

Was Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep a Masterpiece or an Exercise in Tedium?

Overall, Birth By Sleep is an important slice of the Kingdom Hearts series, and shouldn’t be missed out on if you’re looking to get into the series. Granted, some of the features and moment-to-moment gameplay is lost when it transitioned from the PSP to modern consoles. But nonetheless, one can’t deny its overall importance to the story and the impact of its mechanics and systems to the series overall.

gold_drake1299d ago

i like it, but its just too much "friendships are the key to our power" bs.
don't get me started on them minigames lol

i think the game had tremendous potential for essential online gaming and other things. but they didnt do a whole lot with it in the remaster.

i would, however, consider it to be one of the harder games in the series, which is good
