Cheat Code Central's Robert VerBruggen writes: "As we grow older, our New Year's Eve plans grow progressively lamer. We married folks often spend the night around the house with loved ones, watching TV and eating snacks. You young whippersnappers are probably throwing wild parties with Magic tournaments and cosplay and everything.
But video games give us all a way to escape, and tonight is no exception. Herewith, the top ten video game characters — five ladies and five guys — who would make great New Year's Eve dates."
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
Tomb Raider I, II, III Remastered is available now on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Lara Croft is back in a classic remaster of the original PlayStation 1 hit title. Is the remaster any good though?
We've gone on many adventures with Lara Croft. With another reboot in the making, Wealth of Geeks felt it was a good time to go down the nostalgia rabbit hole and remember the best of those tomb-raiding thrills.
For me, Legend should be alot higher (along with the other two ). Shadow, I enjoyed it, but has too much has fluff, as modern games tend to do. Playing the remastered series, and apart from the controls, is very good.
I really enjoyed the first 2 games, Legend and the first of the reboots and the rest I didn’t get into so I never finished.
Completely subjective list. I really liked Underworld, I preferred Lara's design. That said I loved the horror/uncharted feel of the reboot. I think all the TR games have strengths and weaknesses. None are objectively better in every way.
What about Zero-Suit Samus whose suit got left in the dryer too long and has some rips from fighting Ridley just before the date?
Last few entries to this list are just tossing in the usual suspects for the simple sake of doing so. Proof? Gordon Freeman has all the personality of a brick (or Channign Tatum, take your pick) and how can you be talking about best New Years dates for parties without including Old Dante, the best party animal of them all!?
