May is Huge, What Should You Get?

RespawnAction: " May 2010 is looking to be one of the best months of the year so far. Sure, March had God of War 3 and the hit online FPS Bad Company 2, but May has great games coming out on every platform with a variety of genres. Everything imaginable is coming out in some way or another next month, and there sure are a lot of hits to play. But which are the games that you should absolutely not pass up?"

[DigitalRaptor]

They forgot to mention Split/Second (which looks better than Blur) and Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands. I'm torn between those 2 and Red Dead Redemption, although I think I'll go for the latter, due to my love of Rockstar games.

[respawnaction]

BLur just seems to be a more solid package to me. Dunno why. Lol,watch me be wrong. ;)

[t0mmyb0y]

Red Dead Redemption has been on my waiting list for years. Getting that and ModNation Racers

[BattleAxe]

I'll probably get Red Dead Redemption (Looks to kill GTA4) and that will be it until MGS: Peace Walker comes out in June.

[JL]

I'm with you tommyboy. RDR and ModNation are the two I'm getting. I want 3D dot too but that's going to wait a lil bit since I want the other two more. Also, I agree that Split/Second looks cool, but I think I'm going to end up passing on that since I have enough racing (once I add in ModNation) to tide me over til GT5.

Also, Alpha Protocol comes out June 1st and I really want that one as well.

[Government Cheese]

Rent Halo ODST and try out the beta for about the week
Buy Red Dead Redemption
Celebrate classes being out

[RockmanII7]

Besides the Halo Reach beta I'm for sure getting into, the only other thing I'm thinking about getting is Blur. Would be interested in MNR but don't have a PS3. Oh, and Just Cause 2, while already out, will be better than RDR. Anyone know if Split/Second is getting a demo? I want to want that game but I know that I enjoy Blur so I will buy blur unless S/S can release a better demo.

[Christopher]

Red Dead Redemption all the way. 3Dot Heroes comes out next week as well and seems to be a good game for the $40 price tag.

[HolyOrangeCows]

Red Dead and possibly 3D Dot Heroes.

[Brklynty1]

MNR is next on my list.

[Mo0eY]

I've already bought SMG2. I'll be looking at Red Dead Redemption gameplay videos as well as reviews and my friends' opinions. I'm still trying to see if I want Split/Second or Modnation Racers for my racing needs until GT5.

[BannedForNineYears]

Only game I'm getting is Red Dead Redemption. Woooooo!

[Inside_out]

Might take the day off work for AW, it looks that good...Have to play right thru....lost planet was a must till I played the demo...rental now...RDR looks INCREDIBLE...Have ODST, have to sneak a peak at beta, Reach gonna be huge... split second looks interesting...May does have some big games...E3 in June...that will be huge....

[vhero]

is every month huge now or is every site just trying to get hits??

[monkpunk1]

Red Dead is a given, preordered too and i will probaly still be waggling my joystick to super streetfighter too...

[UltraNova]

If red dead r. is anything like GTAIV I wont get it. However I m very excited for a wild west sand box game although I have my reservations in regarding the environment variation.. you know the wild west looks pretty much the same anywhere you look!

Now throw in a Clint Eastwood cameo and I m sold first day!

[kevnb]

mario galaxy 2 is a big one, but meh. Lost Planet 2 looks like it might be all kinds of awesome though, just doesnt have the insane levels of hype yet.

[goflyakite]

skate 3 and RDR.

[Dee_91]

Renting Red Dead and alan wake
buying modnation

[meetajhu]

Here is my picks

Ps3:Red dead redempetion,Modnation will rent it
Xbox360:Alan Wake. Halo Series don't care
PC:POP:FS(pirate and fk Ubisoft DRM)

[frjoethesecond]

So there are two or 3 games a beta and the rest is shovelware. Is this what you need to get huge status? God of war 3 or SCC blew all this out of the water by themselves. I'll admit it's a good month but it's not huge.

[ape007]

halo reach beta of course, alan wake is on top of my list, super mario galaxy 2 is a close second and the under-hyped\amazing looking Red Dead Redemption

trying mod nation racer demo, Im pretty sure I'll like it, may get it

not too sure about LP2?? but I want it

but the biggest problem is..... I NEED MONEY :(

[Nevers]

controller cuz I'm gonna wear thru em like a fiending crack-head thru his methadone patches.

[Hellsvacancy]

Read Dead 2 baby, luv me westerns

[CoffeewithChess]

So, other than the Halo: Reach beta, is May lacking in FPS games?
Interesting!

[respawnaction]

Im not too sure (nor did I really care) if Alpha Protocol is an FPS or TPS.

[Baka-akaB]

neither really , its a rpg .

[respawnaction]

ohh, thanks man. Did not know.

[Baka-akaB]

well given the spy theme it features action , and gameplay that isnt too far from Mass effect . It's 3rd person based as well .

[Myst]

Hmm I know I'll be getting Red Dead Redemption the multiplayer will certainly add longevity. Currently torn between whether or not I want to get Lost Planet 2 or not...

[respawnaction]

don't forget the multiplayer demo is out now ;)

[Basil-Rathboner]

You are a good sport at heart. I'm just being silly.

[Tdmd]

I'll get, for sure, RDR and LP2. Thinking on PoP: The Forgotten Sand as my third priority. Good month to be a gamer! =D

[Mr Logic]

Modnation Racers!

[SuperStrokey1123]

I think thats the number 2 for me, it would be right behind SMG though. RDR is 3rd but im taking a wait and see attitude with it.

[playstation_clan]

i cant play on a console that breaks half the time, the pc version is better

[LuHawk27]

Your right the pc is better than the PS3

[karan8624]

PC is better than both

PC>PS3>360>Wii

Talking hardware power strictly

[ryano23277]

RDR can't come fast enough, Alan Wake has my interest.

I'm really looking forward UFC & Modnation as well.

I am also eager to see how good Backbreaker is. I'm a huge Madden fan, but am keen to try this. Will wait to see reviews/gamers thoughts on this one as I believe this isn't being released here in Australia - if it's really good, I'll import it.

[Bathyj]

Wow, no one is getting Alan Wake?

Me neither, maybe later.

Sorry Al, Red Dead looks to good to pass up.

Is Modnation a full priced game?
I may get it if its cheap even thought the main thing I love about Mariokart is Battle Mode which MNR doesnt have I think.

Correct me if I'm wrong, by all means.

[Hallmark Moment]

No one in here but PS3 fans looking at the comments and the must buy listed being posted.

I'm getting Alan Wake, Lost Planet 2 and Red Dead Redemption.

My must have order.

#1 Alan Wake
#2 Lost Planet 2
#3 Red Dead Redemption

Not getting Alan Wake? Do you own the 360? I hear all over the web people will buy the 360 because of Alan Wake.

EDIT Forgot. Halo Reach Beta is #4

[Bathyj]

Dude, not everything has to be a console war. No one above me even brought consoles into it til you did. Think about that.

Yes I have a X360, had to buy a new one just play Splinter Cell which was way to short. Thats alright, Deniable Ops is pretty good and padding out the main game nicely, and there are more levels coming which is great, finally some decent single player DLC for a game.

Back to your point, I just think I'll get AW later, RDR is much more up my alley, been waiting for a great western for a long time.

Besides AW just looks ok to me, very nice lighting but all I hear anyone talking about is the graphics, I dont hear anyone talking about the gameplay at all. Is there something special about it I'm not aware of? It just looks like another Slient Hill/ Alone in the Dark/ Siren type affair. I'm not knocking it, its just not my favourite genre.

Anyway, like I said, I probably get it later and cheaper.

[TheBand1t]

Hmmm....attacking PS3 fans...starting a console fight where there was none...somehow knowing people on this site...

Obvious multiaccount.

[Hallmark Moment]

Multi account? Attacking PS3 fans?

He said no one was mentioning Alan Wake and I said there was nothing but PS3 fans in here at the time. That is attacking PS3 fans? :P

"somehow knowing people on this site"

Read the comments and check BIOs. And Yes I didn't just stumble on this site and joined. I've been getting news from this site for months. It's not a secret N4G is a PS3 fanboy Haven.

Are you some sort of Sony Guardian person exposing console allegiance for the record? I own the PS3 too so don't try it. In all honesty I did read 5 of his comments in his Bio before I made the owning the 360 comment. I see how it works here. If you dare question any member of team Sony you make our lives hell. If you seen my comment 8.1 as attacking PS3 fans you need to step away from your PC and console every once and awhile and get outside.

Are you tracking me? I all of a sudden I got somebody tracking me. I hope not because sunlight is a good thing :)

[rob6021]

www.gohastings.com still has modnation listed at $39.99 if you wanna pre-order there. Just did today - wasn't going to pay full price.

[surgency]

I own an Xbox and I was SO excited for AW until I saw the first 10 minute video that was leaked. The Dialog was SOO bad. Cheesy, Cheesy, CHEEESY!

Will probably rent it.

My list:

#1 Red Dead
#2 Red Dead
#3 Red Dead
#98 Mod Nations

[WIIIS1]

Its easy to spot the people with multiple accounts here. They're the ones with a lot of bubbles.

[Bathyj]

Or maybe we dont just constantly talk crap and people give us bubbles.

[Skyreno]

MODNATIONS RACER!!!!!!!! DAy one buY , i have alot ideals to make some awesome Tracks :)

[Bathyj]

You're going to make Nurinburg aren't you?

[Ult iMate]

I wish Naughty Dog would release a map pack with Crash Team Racing and Jak X tracks for MNR.

[Bathyj]

Boy, the disagree douches are really riding me in this thread.

I guess you arent going to recreate Nurinburg then.

[tripewire]

Lol. Epic.

I imagine 5 or so laps of Nurbering in a cart racing game would leave you completely exhausted. And older. Much Older.

Someone, Please make it happen.

[zatrox]

No 3D dot game heroes?
Anyways I'll be picking up 3DDGH, Alan Wake, Red Dead Redemption and Mod Nation Racers.

[GarandShooter]

My list exactly matches yours!

[SlipperyMooseCakes]

Alan Wake for me. I'm excited to play a game like this on my 360.

[ape007]

for being excited for AW and 8 agrees for mind boggling and 0 disagrees for being excited for MNR

this proves that some guys here are jealous and everybody know who they are

[i3eyond the Circle]

Alan Wake, Lost Planet 2, HALO REACH BETA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[worm2010]

NOT HERPES, YOU DON'T WANT THAT!!

[Bathyj]

No, thats really more of a winter disease.

[glennc]

SKATE 3 is all i care about in May - that will keep me busy enough for the rest of the year

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

Skate? Seriously?

[iamgoatman]

I'm not sure why you got so many disagrees for saying you want to get Skate 3. This place is ridiculous.

Heavens forbid he plans on buying a game that's not being hyped to hell and back, I mean how dare he!

[mp1289]

http://www.nofussreviews.co...

[Hallmark Moment]

We've seen that before because you post that in every Alan Wake related news post.

I don't understand what your point is. No Fuss heard the game(AW) was scored but can't find the review?

Alan Wake bothers you being a PS3 fan?

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

''Our official review above is just a score. We currently haven't found the best written review on the Internet''

Lol, is just a score with no reviews.

[Ult iMate]

3D Dot Game Heroes, Mod Nation Racers and Mario Galaxy 2 for me this month.
Red Dead 2 looks like a great game too.

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

Emulated:

Mario Galaxy 2 in my PC

Console:

ModNation Racers
3D Heroes
Red Dead Redemption
Alan Wake
And maybe Lost Planet 2

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

Lol @ disagrees!
ROFL

What wrong I said?

[GenghisKhan]

it is so fugly; it is even worse than bfbc2. maybe the gameplay will redeem it.

wait, it has toggle auto-aim!

but riding whores looks like fun.

[Mo0eY]

I could've sworn that whores ride you. Or did you mean horses? ;s
