Well, we're nearly eight months into the gaming calendar so now seems as good a time as any to recap five of the greatest games of 2010 so far, in rank order.
This list could change completely by the time New Year's Day hits, but when the market is awash with motion controllers, Halo and Call of Duty, remember that the first half of the year had some of the best efforts to ever grace our medium.
GB: "With this feature, we talk about 15 games on the PS3 that should be remade for the PlayStation 5."
Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.
Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.
A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.
Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.
Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.
I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.
Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.
I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.
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
Rockstar Games’ shiny new Red Dead Redemption port is now on GTA+, and you can play it while claiming some tasty GTA Online benefits.
Rockstar still strying to make GTA plus work
Should be $6 for the rdr game on sale not 6 bucks for a months playtime
One of my favorite games from PS3 generation. I have the remaster as there was a buy 2 get 1 free deal a while back but the price they are charging for the port is way too high although not surprising at all.
I agree with that list.
My list would have been the same apart from having Alan Wake in there instead of BC2, while BC2 is a good game I think Alan Wake's story was a nice change and very enjoyable, but multilayer plays a massive part in BC2 anyway.
I loved Red Dead 2 (plated it and BC2) but id take BC2 off and add Demons Souls (it got released in the UK only a month ago so technically, im right)
My list would be:
5. FF13 (I liked it. I applaud squenix for trying a different approach to ff design)
4. Mario Galaxy 2. (Good but too similar to the original)
3. Red Dead Redemption. (Good but too similar to gta 4, Maybe I'm sick of sandboxes)
2. ME2 (fantastic. More rpg and less shooter would have made it no 1 but still)
1. Heavy rain. (I applaud innovation and this game plays like no other. I've never been so immersed in a game as with this one)
See I can write a top 5 too. Maybe I should start a blog and submit n4g articles. /s
Alan Wake!
I just bought Mass Effect 2 and Red Dead Redemption together, I'm gonna makes me a GOTY sandwich!
