Overlooked Games To Survive The Summer Drought

OXCGN:

"It’s the dead of summer. As we all know, rarely does a good game come out during this hot, unrelenting period.

"Titles can sometimes get overlooked and overshadowed due to monoliths like Call of Duty and other big AAA names during the holiday season, and sometimes just come out at the wrong time.

"These are titles that are generally overlooked, and could be your ace in the hole to surviving the summer drought."

Nice list, some great titles in there.

Metro 2033 is such a fantastic game, I don't know why more people didn't play it.

ATiElite4826d ago

cause they couldn't run it.

Metro 2033 was a beast to run and still is but it's so pretty. I say it looks better than Crysis because of the detailed textures. a little linear but an overall great experience.

It didn't get a lot of 360 hype but it sold well enough on the PC to pay for a sequel which i'll be getting.

Overall this was a great list of games that got overlooked.

Funnily enough I've never played any of those! I still have to catch up on a couple of games I haven't finished from earlier in the year though.

consolez_FTW4827d ago

Yeah, so far this summer has been great to catch up on games I never got on release date. Like AS:Brotherhood, Singularity, and fallout series.

I know how the author feels living in Louisiana, it really is hot as hell down here. I'm actually playing Alan wake at the moment and the game is really worth the asking price at this point.

What's funny about this list is there isn't really too much of a drought, not like the years past.

Kind of a goody story...

On a serious note, that is why I try activating gift cards asap. It's happened to me where the store didnt scan it right where the card was unusuable. Happened at Wally World.

wait, that place is real? national lampoon wasn't kidding?

I just bought two of the MonsterVerse Godzilla movies on 4K - both had digital copies expiring in 2023. Both were actually expired.

I'd be surprised but it's WB, of course they'd actually expire them

Knightofelemia162d ago

Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.

Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.

Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.

Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄

Rynxie162d ago

Most likely she wanted to resell a few or most of them. However, it was a too good to be true situation.

So in short she paid $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.

I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.

Rynxie162d ago

No, most likely to resell. However, she ended up getting screwed.

Asplundh162d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.
