To all the people here that slam Battlefield 4 to try and downplay that the Wii U really is underpowered, selling poorly and extremely limited with its game selection: How can you compare ONE game having internet problems with a console and its ENTIRE library being underpowered and decidedly last gen? Pointless argument. Battlefield 4 online was trash but there's a world of difference between failing at making one game's multiplayer stable and failing at making a console.

I didn't really think it was funny either but "disturbing"? Really? Its a cartoon promo for a game. Grow some balls. #3

@soapshoes that's just naïve. There's been way too many people in top tier positions leaving and getting fired in the last month or two, all from Sony studios. There's obviously something going on. #30.1.1

This is such a joke, I guess everyone forgets how many PS3 games were maxed out at 720p. No one seemed to complain about it back then and now 900p is somehow a huge problem. Its one thing when a multiplatform game is 1080 on PS4 and 900 on the Xbox One, but with an exclusive that still looks sharp whats the big deal? Honestly. #21

Notice how you didn't counter ANY of my points. You're the dumb one here friend-o. Another 13 year old Nintendo fan heard from. #12.1.1

Where does the wii u fit in? It doesn't. Mediocre, last gen graphics, gimmicky touch pad, rehashed Mario and Zelda titles, zero third party support and almost no Mature titles make the console a huge failure in just about every way. Just look at the sales. Nintendo should've worked harder on their "next-gen" console instead of releasing the Wii 1.5 with a touch screen controller. #12

Platinum Games made a huge mistake. All the Nintendo fan boys on here who say "buy a wii u or get over it" how about this: the wii u is a complete failure with zero third party support and sub-par last gen graphics. Its only major games are rehashed sequels of tired franchises. "Get over it".

If any of you seriously expect someone who's not into generic Mario, Zelda and Donkey Kong sequels to shell out $300 for a console that's likely to only have... #45

I hate how "Cliffy" completely disregarded and trashed the PC community (which is the reason for his success in the first place) after Gears of War 1 and said that it wasn't worth the time and resources to port any of the Gears sequels to PC but now hes making a PC exclusive. What a hypocrite, the last few years he was all about 360 and console gaming over PC but now that he left Epic he's done a complete 180. #21

@FitGamer and everyone else who thinks that Fed Ex is somehow any different:

Unfortunately it seems like all of shipping companies are guilty of having employees who do this kind of thing. Blaming every single defective console on the shipping companies seems a little extreme though, many of the bricked PS4s... #16

Regardless of graphics the gameplay looks like simplistic garbage. Great graphics can never make up for antiquated gameplay like that, a terribly average looking animation of the player character thrusting a spear with hit points being taken away from the enemy just seems extremely dated and its definitely nothing new. Considering that this is next gen that's really disappointing. And the fact that its free to play also makes it questionable. #13

I'm getting a PS4 at launch but they really don't have anything good besides Killzone. Knack looks like a joke and I have zero interest in generic downloadable indie games. After that Second Son seems like it has good gameplay but the new main character and story look terrible, they should've stuck with Cole. god of war has become stale so I dont care about that, deep downs gameplay looks like simplistic trash so other than what naughty dog and David cage offer there's nothing... #14

There was this exact same reaction when they announced that Fallout 3 would be an FPS and look how that turned out, nobody considers that change a mistake. I think this'll end up being similar: fans of the original will be upset at first but then the game will end up being excellent and it won't matter.

XCom has a lot of potential and I think first person will suit it well. The graphics look good, the story, weapons and enemies look unique and if the combat is done... #13

Thats B.S. VengenceE999. The reason Red Dead gets a pass for glitches is not only because of the quality of the game, but the length of the campagin, size of the world, graphics, multi, etc. Lost Planet 2 is linear, arcadey and relatively short so it deserves to be criticized much more harshly if its as unfinished, buggy and average as the reviews make it out to be.

And stop with the "stop being sheep" trash. I hear that everytime a game gets slammed in reviews. D... #7

Been looking forward to this since the first announcement, can't wait. Frontlines Fuel of War was a more than solid FPS with great scale (huge battles, large levels, etc.) and this game looks like a much better, more intense, darker and more violent version. Here's hoping its M. The destructible environments look amazing and having shootouts in suburban streets/residential neighborhoods is going to be amazing.

It doesn't hurt that Frontlines had some of the loud... #9

No Breakfast, thats not the way it is and thats not the way it should ever be. You want to tell me that no one buys games for single player anymore? Let me tell YOU a couple or three things: Forget Bioshock 1&2. Forget Just Cause 2. Forget Prototype. Forget Dead Space.

In real life: Single player campaigns are an extremely important part of every game and some of the best games of all time are SP only or have long campaigns with sequences not possible in multi. Bulls**t... #5

I thought this was going to be about Chinese Starcraft players having Scanners style head explosions after marathoning for 72+ hours. THAT would be a video game injury getting "Real".

But in reality this article is another mistake. Who green lights these? Let it DIE. #16

At this point there shouldn't be any doubt. How/why does this article exist?

Regardless of whether or not it actually wins game of the year are you fu**ing kidding me that the je#koff who wrote this article is actually questioning whether or not Red Dead is even a contender?

Besides, the only other game in 2010 that could truly be game of the year is Mafia II in August. As great as games like Max Payne 3, Dead Rising 2 and Crackdown 2 will be, those a... #20

Besides Duke Nukem Forever, the only other games that NEED to be on a list like this are Fear Effect Inferno, Eight Days, Redwood Falls, B.C., the sequel to Turok (2008), and Getaway 3. Now those had potential. #18

This is a complete waste and this game will only be dragged down hard because of her involvement. Why would some broad who wears crazy makeup and makes terrible pop music have any relation/relevance to a Mature FPS? What a joke.

Bodycount has the potential to be legitimate if the devs step up where Criterion didn't and add blood/gore/etc. The lack of blood was the only real flaw of Black besides its length, and it made even less sense that it was sterile considering the game wa... #18

This is a tragedy. I thought after all this time we would finally be getting a Manhunt 3 announcement, not an article saying its basically cancelled. This is an excellent series that would truly shine next-gen if it was done right. Like Treeson47 said, the first Manhunt is an all time classic and the second is still legitimate even if it wasn't on the same level. Manhunt 3 has the potential to be the best of the series, especially if its open world Carcer City and they bring back Cash or make... #9
