Video game publishers no longer view the winter holiday months as the best time to release major titles. Sure, Activision will continue to own each and every November, as long as a new Call of Duty is released. And September will always belong to Microsoft, provided there's a Halo game on the horizon.
"Digital board games can be tons of fun, especially when they're cooperative. That's what's in store for Beacon Patrol from Assemble Entertainment. Based on the real-life board game by Torben Ratzlaff, Beacon Patrol has players work together to explore a map and create a network of coastal paths, all by placing tiles. It's a lot like Carcassonne and Kingdomino, but set on the high seas. The upcoming Steam version will support 4-player local co-op, and there's a single-player demo right now," says Co-Optimus.
Thanks to Call of Duty HQ, the early weapons list for Black Ops 7 has been unearthed, and it gives further evidence of wallruning returning.
A hands-on look at this upcoming acrobatic third-person sci-fi shooter.
So many good games, so many delays. The beginning of next year is gonna be packed. Though the funniest has to be pushing a game back 6 months "until Fall 2011 to make it the marquee title for the holiday season"...
Eh, they should just cut out half the campaign and resell it in a second package when it's done for full price.
Right?
I can wait. There isn't a single game on that list that I want right now. Xmas is already tight as hell as it is. I don't need more games crammed into the Holidays shopping list.
I had my heart set on that game for Christmas, would've been ideal.
Portal 2...NOOOOOO!
