PC World writes: "2011 is promising some pretty impressive gaming titles, but will they be everything they're vaunted to be? We've picked out six titles we think will disappoint gamers this year.
We're not saying they won't be good -- but we don't think they'll be as good as they're being hyped up to be, whether it's by marketers or by rabid fanboy gamers."
TopSpin 2K25 Review - After a very long hiatus, TopSpin is back! Can Hangar 13 bring the venerable tennis series back to relevance?
Almost unbelievably, Days Gone has just turned 5 years old after launching on April 26th, 2019. What's changed in that time?
WTMG's Oliver Shellding: "I feel The Hungry Lamb is for a specific audience, though I can’t quite align with whom that might be. It’s not thrilling enough to land in constant VN recommendations, it’s got uncomfortable relationships which will put most people off, and the endings never hit the high note that satisfies everything. The twists are pretty recognizable from a distance, the voice acting is good, the character designs are alright and the pacing is decent. So many things rubbed me the wrong way and it makes it very easy to delete it from my PC concluding the review. Dive in if you must because of morbid fascination, but you’ve been cautioned: it’s a downward spiral without anything to make the trip worthwhile."
Disagree with all of them (except maybe Driver: I want a return to the old Driver)
Personally I feel that diablo 3, portal 2, and LA Noire can live up to the hype.
I can't really speak for the others, but knowing the devs like blizzard, valve, and rockstar, I think they'll do fine.
swtor would do fine because bioware is up there in terms of good developers....but since it's an mmo, mmos always always seem to have trouble.
This is sounding stupid
"Now that it's being tailored for consoles as well as PCs, and it's getting the mass-market treatment, we think Portal 2 is going to be dumbed down and cutesier than the original"
Portal 1 was on 3 platforms and Portal 2 is on... 3 platforms. Obviously a good gaming site.
And how is Driver: SF overhyped? I hadn't heard of it until now and noone is talking about it.
I think all of them will deliver the goods except for Duke Nukem and Driver. L.A. Noire will likely be the best imo.
Agree with most of them except L.A Noire and Portal 2. All other games are extremely overhyped. Let's take duke nukem for example: Ugly graphics and boring mechanics, but everyone is hyping the game to hell just because it's duke nukem.
