XMNR: "This list focuses on the third category: games that were so robust and filled with content and replay value that it makes the $60 (or however much you ended up paying) investment seem woefully disproportionate to the fun and enjoyment derived."
Licensing issues often leave many games forgotten. But all that aside, here are 10 classic games desperate for remasters.
The getaway
Smugglers run
Dead to rights
Worlds scariest police chases
Sure I’m missing a few.
Ape Escape.
Fun game but, wow, you need a college degree to understand the controls.
A remaster would also save you from having to constantly fight the camera.
Keep the music though. Those drum and bass tracks fit really well and haven't aged. Made me think that more games could work well with drum and bass tracks, but unfortunately it's a somewhat niche genre now.
i could have sworn i read somewhere that Remedy is remaking May Payne 1 but things have been quiet lately
One of the few Xbox games I own. I have 3 copies of it because of the many discs it has, for just in case reasons
Xenogears, Xenosaga trilogy, Vagrant Story, Drakengards, Parasite Eve and many more but I’ll start with those
The Black Ops series has featured some of the best and classic multiplayer maps in the Call of Duty franchise, and here's the top of them.
The Nerd Stash: "Developed by Treyarch Studios, Call of Duty: Black Ops games are some of the best in the series in terms of gameplay, story, and -- of course -- Zombies."
Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.
And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.
I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.
I normally like some of the articles Examienr writes, but this one dissapoitned me. It reads more like a generic fluff piece than a true analysis of the valued games of 2010 --three of them are published by Activision Blizzard.
I won't argue that StarCraft II was easily worth more than $60, but it feels like not a lot of effort went into this article.
I mean, c'mon, you left out Gran Turismo 5 and Halo: Reach? Seriously?
Wow, I dunno about Call of Duty: Black Ops. Especially if you're a PS3 gamer --it sucked on PS3.
Black Ops? Really?
Games I've gotten my full $60 out of this year:
Heavy Rain (Played it through 9 times already...going back for more.)
God of War 3 (Played it through 5 times...and going back for more.)
3D Dot Game Heroes (Addicting as frick! Also, it was only $40 at launch.)
Bayonetta (Need I explain?)
Get Fit with Mel B (Losing weight and having fun since it came out!)
Gran Turismo 5 (Self-explanatory, I think...)
MAG (Probably the most fun I've had online all year...except the DC Universe Online Beta.)
Red Dead Redemption (I've packed a good 200 hours into that thing!)
Sports Champions (Oh yeah...it's epic!)
The Sly Cooper Collection (Just got it last night and already addicted once again.)
I'd say Starcraft 2, Halo: Reach and GT5 will give you way more than $60 worth of gameplay.
Black Ops? Its the same junk we got last year, just a little different.
Cataclysm could be but the monthly fee kills that.
Battlefield 2 was definitely a good buy, I'd rather play it than Bad Company 2.
Castlevania is good but you don't feel like you got more for your money.
Cataclysm.. i paid 24.99 for it.. Worth it imo
