PSLS: This week is the last week of significant retail releases for 2012, which includes the likes of Far Cry 3 and Mass Effect Trilogy – both of which will be available on the PlayStation Network. The PlayStation Vita gets some new content in the form of Uncharted: Fight for Fortune, and the PlayStation 3 sees a ton of PSN titles this week. Check it out.
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.
Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.
Pity.
Based on one narratively fitting ending in Mass Effect 3, Prothean squadmate Javik is highly unlikely to return in the next Mass Effect game.
He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.
Wealth of Geeks explores some of the best gaming romances that have stolen our hearts over the years.
Heard nothing but good things about Far Cry. If I wasn't already swamped in games I'd get it.
The Walking Dead episode 1 and 2 FREE!!!
