GamerNode Senior Editor Mike Murphy writes: "A plethora of games use the theater of war as their centerpieces, relying solely on the battles fought by ground troops. With first-person shooters still on the rise thanks to Call of Duty, Battlefield, and Halo, it’s no wonder why the trend has continued for over the past decade. It’s rare then, when a developer decides to tell the story of conflict through navies or aerial forces. Konami and Gaijin Entertainment decided to take on that challenge by rolling the clock back to the 1940s with Birds of Steel, a WWII-era title that combines flight simulation and air combat..."
Don from Vagary.tv lists his top five games from the first half of the year.
good ones
1. the witcher 2 ( 360 )
2. mass effect 3
3. the walking dead
4. ssx
5. minecraft (360)
6. spelunky (360)
disappointing
kingdom of amalur
armored core 5 ( too much mp focus )
dragons dogma
still havent played
ghost recon
See, I don't have a 360, which cuts out some nice exclusives. I think I would have enjoyed The Witcher 2 quite a bit,..
KOA was a big disappointment for me, too, but RE:ORC was my most disappointing lol.
is REORC really that bad? ive been wanting to play that one too still. tried picking it up last week but best buy ran out.
I don't know what the hell you people were expecting with KoA. Its great fun and an excellent change of pace to Skyrim.
Captain, it wasn't bad... it was just disappointing.
Kariyanine, I know and realize that NOW. But I don't have the option to play it again at the moment. I heard the words "loot" "Action-RPG" So I was thinking of a Diablo style game. Which it is not...
Konami Digital Entertainment has today issued a series of DLC elements for its Birds of Steel title. The new downloads are available via PlayStation®Network and Xbox LIVE® Arcade, and add new planes, maps and missions to the stunning air combat title.
Two DLC packages are available right now for Konami's Birds of Steel via Xbox Live and PlayStation Network, adding new plans, maps and missions to the air combat game.
The Battle of Britain campaign is added, featuring "five pivotal" missions and three Versus maps, as well as adding 42k lions to the user profile. The second DLC adds new planes.
Hasn't been a good one of these since Battlefield 1943.
Surprisingly bloody good this and a huge ammount of options for arcade or sim style play. I advise people at least give it a shot and not compare it to past games of this genre on console
I'd about given up there being a decent game like this on console or at least one with enough options that it felt authentic. I even ignored this one actually until a friend mentioned i should check it out
