It's become a cheesy, family-friendly, Disneyfied version of its former self: the days of drunks, awesome hookers, and mob-fuelled awesomeness have been replaced by crappy magicians and Mickey Mouse.
Thankfully, the guys behind This is Vegas seem to share in my irritation. Rather than existing in the Vegas in the real world, the city in This is Vegas is sort of a hyper-real fantasy: the Vegas we all wish existed, full of colorful characters, plentiful fisticuffs, and tons to do."
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.
