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."
The friendly folks over at Razer recently sent us their full size Kishi Ultra mobile gaming controller, and this thing didn't disappoint.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."
The Epic Games Store continues to dish out free games and you can add two more to your library this week.
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.
