Top 10 must-play games this season

PCA: Autumn 2011 is set to be one of the biggest seasons on the gaming calender: here's a look at the must-have titles that have been released or are are coming out in the next few months.

It's all about Batman: Arkham City!

[Chuk5]

Dat bat.

Nice to see a balanced mix of exclusives for once. The PS3 and X360 both get two apiece.

@grumpysmurf
XBOX had 3 listed... and why is it nice to see "balance". One publisher has decided to invest more in exclusive games, so it's not about balance, it's about probability even though this list doesn't reflect the probability.

Meh, I'd rather wait for the GOTY edition with all the DLC and pay half the price.

[rogimusprime]

and if everyone did that on the first game, the developers never would've made a sequel. To each his own, i suppose.

Ignore the disagrees, man.

That is truly the smart thing to do. I grabbed Batman:AA GOTY for 19.99...and...like you, I intend to do the same with Batman:AC.

Let the fools with money to burn buy all the DLC and take a hit on the (as far as I'm concerned) Overpriced full retail release price.

"and if everyone did that on the first game, the developers never would've made a sequel. To each his own, i suppose."

Or maybe it would pressure devs to put more content in the $60 package instead of making it additional paid DLC. This way theres a greater chance that gamers will pay on Day 1. To each his own I suppose.

"and if everyone did that on the first game, the developers never would've made a sequel."

There is a plus to what you said you know...publishers (especially Activision) would no rely on one or to cash cows that lack innovation every year and focus on providing more fresh and innovative experiences.

Also, maybe publishers will think twice about trying to creep past 70.00 with the games for the next generation of consoles if they see that people are using their heads and refuse to pay the bloated prices they try to get this generation.

for example, look at PC versions of console games they are usually no more than 45.00 and after a few months you can usually get that game through steam on sale for half that much. so the pathetic excuse about how expensive a game costs to make to justify its 60.00+ price is just stupid and an excuse only a fool would swallow.

Rise of Nightmares is must-play? I guess if you're really into Kinect and zombies.

[manaxknight1]

hmm...no skyward sword? that should be part of the lineup.

[Bolts]

Dead Island needs to be on this list.

[aegisarchangel]

Skyrim? ACR?

[ReservoirDog316]

I've been sitting here for the past minute trying to figure out what ACR is.

Help?

[Nunchez]

Assassins Creed Revelations.

[josephayal]

Nothing betta than CRYSIS 1 live/psn the best 4.08GB ever

[Plagasx]

No Skyrim? Skyward Sword? Saints Row 3?????

Fail.

[ShaunCameron]

Or better yet, BORING! It seems like HD console gaming has really gotten redundant.

[MeatAbstract]

Ugh, it's another one of those posts where you you have jump across a 10 page gallery to see it. Just make a goddamn list on one page.

In any case, in the spirit of the occasion I'll half-heartedly raise my drink to Dark Souls and Batman.

[VvKILLAGOOSEvV]

Take out Driver, Rise of Nightmares, Fifa and replace them with Skyrim, Dark Souls, Skyward Sword and that would be my top 10 must play list...

As I got to image number 9 and still hadn't seen Battlefield 3, I worried for the author of this article. Battlefield fanboys come in the hundreds when an article passes without their game being mentioned.
