For those of you who love to game and gamble, but hate to fly, Midway has a solution; The up-and-coming This Is Vegas.
The object of the game is to build up your reputation within Las Vegas by performing various tasks around town. Your rival is the industrious Preston Boyer, a kind of Donald-Trump-meets-Martha-Stewart entrepreneur who wants to turn Vegas into a family friendly kind of place, and you're out to stop him in a sandbox-style replication of Las Vegas. But don't be fooled, this isn't just any Grand Theft Auto clone.
The games industry can be a cruel mistress. Here are 5 games we would like to see resurrected for current platforms
Console Monster writes: "Following the reveal of a major game, social-networking websites are buzzing with excitement, as gamers spend weeks, months, sometimes even years waiting for screenshots, interviews, teaser trailers and gameplay videos to trickle into the public before the game’s highly anticipated launch.
Unfortunately, not all video games that are announced see the light of day, despite months of rumours and speculation. Console Monster looks at ten video games that were cruelly taken away from us."
A Perfect Dark sequel (after PDZ).
Kameo 2 (but I always saw Kameo as similar to Starfox Adventures in style myself).
Conker's Other Bad Fur Day (Original Xbox had a remake of the original game and Xbox One now has the Project Spark adventure instead).
Donkey Kong Racing (as Rare were bought by Microsoft).
GameZone writes, "When looking forward, it’s hard to not also look back and imagine what some games would be like if they came out today. What about the ones that never came out at all? While the chances of any of the following games going back into development are slim-to-none, it’s exciting to consider how much better or more practical they would be today."
As soon as I read the title the first game that came to my mind was Starcraft: Ghosts.
"An AI partner hadn’t really been done right by that point"
lol sure, a little game from 2004 called Half-Life 2 says hi.
