The Overshadowed Games of 2011

With the release of so many big games this year, a lot of lesser (equally great) games have been overlooked. Does anyone even remember that SOCOM 4 came out this year? Probably not because it was overshadowed by L.A. Noire. This list is here to higlight those games that were missed and which games caused them to be overshadowed.

El Shaddai was definitely overshadowed... it was such a great game indeed.

TrendyGamers4956d ago

It definitely was. Very unique and fun.

@Battle Torn

Homefront had good multiplayer but I just didn't enjoy the single player.

Have yet to check out the other three but I hope to one day soon, especially Dead Island.

Venoxn4g4956d ago

yeah..that's true.. and great artstyle tooo..

other thing, people should buy Shadows of the damned..if you like Resident evil 4 it something like that but a lot of time funnier :)

BattleTorn4956d ago

For me, 2011 was filled with games that turned out to be my favorites, despite not being very well-received. Such as Homefront, Brink, Dead Island, and LOTR:WitN

DonaldBeck4956d ago

i need to check out shadows of the damned.

TrendyGamers4955d ago

Yeah! Definitely one of the best 3DS games.

Radiant Historia

Odd that they would suggest that this game was overshadowed, especially considering there was a second run of the game due to the high demand for it.

Red Faction Armageddon

Red Faction has gone too far from the formula of the original game. It isn't any wonder the title is now dead, or at least in limbo, since what the fans of the original liked hasn't been seen again in the series.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine

Although Warhammer may have pioneered the whole "Space Marine" genre, since a lot of people aren't familiar with it ironically the game ended up looking like a generic "Space Marine" game. Not to mention the odd huge armor little head combination.

Skylander’s: Spyro’s Adventure

I didn't even realize this was a Spyro game until I took a closer look at the package. Activision may be trying to get on board the collect 'em all money train, but they'll never do as well as Pokemon.

The Best Games of the 2010s

The 2010s occupy a difficult time slot in the world of gaming. The games aren't new enough to be "cool" but they aren't old enough to be "retro." So basically, they're cheap. Ghetto Gamer contributor Hyp3rblue digs deep--but not too deep--into gaming's past to see what we may have just missed.

Asura's Wrath was underrated and the dlc was one of the few times i actually felt like a dlc was worth the money.

SamPao1611d ago

I remember, was it the dlc that basicly gave you the missing mission that without it the story made no sense? :D yeah great one
Never bought it because of that

neutralgamer19921611d ago

Bob

Bro as someone who loves the game and bought the dlc capcom did it really really wrong. Without the dlc the story was basically incomplete. Dlc should add to the experience not add what was it seems cut from the original game

But we do want this game to be remastered because I feel like too many missed on this game. A re-release with all the dlc with better res and frame rate would be awesome

cbuc11251611d ago

I would upvote this Ten times if i could.

Ryushaa1610d ago

You mean the DLC from the time publishers were literally cuting the ending from the game and selling as DLC. I remember the Prince of Pesia reboot also did this, and they didn't even disguised the tactic, the DLC was called Epilogue (Funny fact: this reboot is available on the pc, but the DLC is console exclusive). LOL

It's a certainly a bit strange, but I suppose we all have our own tastes. I'll let it pass because Hotline Miami is on the list. haha

NecrumOddBoy1611d ago

Agreed. Of all the games that came out in that decade, this list picked the most B tier titles and some of the most just okay games. Not saying you need TLOU or BOTW on there but Skylanders?

SDuck1611d ago

Everytime I see a picture of Asura's Wrath I get a moment of happiness for knowing that niche game and then the realization of why it failed with the DLC that made me hate Capcom to the point of saying I wouldn't buy a game of theirs again!

(bought DMC5 on release)

neutralgamer19921611d ago

No doubt capcom were really greedy back than do you remember on disk dlc that we had to unlock by paying extra and other publishers who tried to fight used game market with their online passes

Skuletor1611d ago

Didn't they lock the real ending behind DLC? That game's still sitting on my shelf as part of my backlog, Too bad I rarely touch my PS3 these days.

Ryushaa1610d ago

I can only say: PS3HEN.

Skuletor1610d ago

@Ryu

Might as well, I have two PS3s anyway

Flawlessmic1611d ago

Terrible list but by god did i love hotline miami 👌👌

Outlawzz1610d ago

well I agree this list is terrible. Had to click just to see how bad it was. If someone wanted to know wt the best games were this decade and stumbled upon this list they would think "wt happened to gaming in the 2010's" lol
