It’s that time of the year again. The time of joy, happiness, family and presents. Christmas time is one of the happiest time of the year and there are some games out there that try to get into the spirit just like people. Although you should be spending time with your loved ones on the holiday, if you get some free time you might want to pop in a game or too if you haven’t already opened up some gaming gifts already. Christmas is all about love but can be showed off with fancy decorated trees, lights, presents and of course the big man himself Santa Clause. If you’re hoping to eyeball some of these festivities in virtual worlds then you might want to take some time to remember some games from the past.
Rare has had an astonishing journey since being founded in 1985. But of the 125 titles released to date, which are the 7 best Rare games?
For those who don't have time for massive open worlds or role-playing games with epic tales, these 15 games are worth checking out.
Bully: Scholarship Edition was an Xbox 360 & Wii re-release of the PS2 classic. Still playable on modern consoles, it'll make you long for a sequel.
A sequel? More likely a remake as is the current trend? No point, everyone wants GTA VI.
It's a shame that basically all of Rockstar's catalogue apart from GTA and Red Dead is now, well, dead.
The R☆ of today is extremely unlikely to put out any project that isn't GTA because of the gaming climate and because GTA is stupidly self sustaining.
Gone are the days of a mainline title and a portable tie-in/standalone title of the same name just like publishers putting out multiple fighters at once.
Costs are too high and mainline titles have become too gargantuan to allow for "risks" on lesser titles that may not take off or sell.
Take Capcom for example, and SF6. We are unlikely to ever see a new installment of their other fighters like Rival School or Darkstalkers because SF6 is more popular, recognized and costly. A new Darkstalkers in the RE Engine would look sick as f*ck, and would visually be unlike any other fighter if done right. Sadly though, it's not as recognizable as SF and Capcom is unlikely to put so much on the line for something that might not catch.
If there’s to be a sequel it should be at the college/university level. Otherwise its just going to be a rehash of the same progression and story.
I love so many of these game! I am going to have to add Animal Crossing to my list though. The way the whole town gets involved with christmas and the snow and all is super fun. Cant forget about WoW either.
Excellent list.
Christmas Nights!
Great list. I love Christmas!
Happy holidays my gamers!!!
