August 2012: Six Must Buy Games

Just a week time is left for August 2012 to arrive. So here is the list of SIX games that gamers should not miss out in the month of August 2012.

Psychotica4288d ago

The only must buy on that list is Sleeping Dogs, though I am sure I will buy Guild Wars 2 and Counter Strike

HiddenMission4288d ago

Sleeping Dogs is hot but Darksiders 2 is by far my most anticipated title for 2012. August also has Transformers which looks beast!

Everyone has their own flavors so to each his own. I hope you really enjoy Sleeping Dogs :)

Ares84HU4288d ago

You are right, to each their own.

For me Sleeping Dogs and Darksiders 2.

The rest.....don't care.

Already got Dark Souls anyways.

Cyrisaurus4288d ago

Darksiders II might as well be the only one because there won't be any time left in August to play the others.

WeskerChildReborned4288d ago

I might look up Darksiders 2 and Sleeping Dogs.

TopDudeMan4288d ago

I'm actually interested in all of those except transformers and darksiders 2. Still in 2 minds about whether want the PTD edition of dark souls. Because I really wanna play the new content as soon as possible.

Kin23g4287d ago

I'll go with Darksiders II in August .. As for Sleeping Dogs, sometime next year. I'm not in a rush for that one.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil4d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai4d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing693d ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle3d ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal3d ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa3d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal3d ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.

watching the video is better then going through 31 pages of gamingbolt.

LG_Fox_Brazil150d ago

Do they explain in the video why there are two numbers 3? Starfield and Tears of the Kingdom?

xeniate144d ago

It's always refreshing to see games embracing the streaming community.

4 or 5 players in a game is not players frantically dusting it off

Jin_Sakai203d ago

We all know that videogamer.com went to each and every Xbox 360 owners house to watch them frantically dust off their 360s.

Vits203d ago

I mean it is a 1000% growth in the player-base. /s

mandf203d ago

Enough to write an article though. N4g new owners are insulting us for click revenue

Vits203d ago

@mandf

Nothing to do with new owners. N4G has always been the trashcan for game news and discussion.

northpaws203d ago

I love video games so much that I never have the time to replay the old one that I have finished, my backlog has only gotten bigger and bigger. I don't get how some people can play one game for years (except for mmorpg)

mandf203d ago

It's an exaggeration to the extreme. A way making an exclusive seen grander than it is.

Profchaos203d ago

Some people do I know someone who only ever plays dune 2000 which is rarely but still

RedDevils202d ago

Those Fifa or COD players do that every years.

Inverno203d ago

Wonder why they've never ported this game over to last Gen and now current Gen. This game would be pretty popular right now, I think.
