Ten Great Games Of 2012 That No One Cares About

"Hype is one of the undeniable evils of our industry, if only because it diverts people’s attention to a core group of games that seem to very poorly represent the breadth and diversity of our often misunderstood past time. If you’re tired of hearing about more sequels involving space marines showing up next year and want some fresh and off-kilter games to get excited about, then look no further than our countdown of ten great games set for next year that not enough people are championing."

Journey has been one of my most anticipated titles since last year.

I was a huge fan of the original Prey and absolutely look forward to Prey 2.

Metro was released for the 360 with ZERO promotion and if the followup does the same it will face the same fate.

... Journey looks extremely promising, and the music alone should be worth the purchase.

That said, I hope they don't overprice it, so it does get the attention and sales it deserves.

"That No One Cares About"

i find it ridiculous how some peoples think they represent 100% of the gamers.

Wow i must be nobody because Im interested in a few of those games.

AntoineDcoolette4489d ago

I forgot that Journey existed because its taking too long to release hah!

Brownghost4489d ago

whens the open beta gonna start

MsclMexican4489d ago (Edited 4489d ago )

No one cares about Pheonix Wright Vs Professor Layton?

Whats wrong with you people?

Also I though there was a lot of hype for CS GO

Also Gotham City Imposters was a lot of fun....

Honestly I think the problem is that people have that certain amount of cash they can spend...

I mean there are a lot of quality releases this year...

we just have to be choosy on what we spend it on

Also some of these games have low budgets for advertising....

Im just waiting for the inevitable multiple commercials and live action trailer for Halo 4....

We all know it is coming

@ EVILDEAD360 Me too. I can't wait till Journey is released. Day one purchase for me...

Daver4488d ago

Im getting Journey and Prey 2 on that list.

reddr4488d ago (Edited 4488d ago )

A lot of these titles shouldn't be on this list.

I think Journey shouldn't be there.

That game basically it got a lot of recognition when it was debuted, a lot of awards of E3 for a PSN Game from different sites http://thatgamecompany.com/...

Knushwood Butt4489d ago

They probably said the same thing about Flower, but the game ended being extremely popular.

Why o why4489d ago

no one. sensational I think

dragonyght4489d ago

sadly its true they have completely fall under the radar

Biggest4489d ago

Then you need a better radar. Or are you the dog from Up? Squirrel run past you or something?

Grimhammer004489d ago

Srry, but I'm dying to get my hands on Journey!

Seventh_Blood_Reborn4489d ago

Me too! It was my most awaited title in 2011, and this year it' s still my most awaited.

smashcrashbash4489d ago

I think 'no one cares about' is an exaggeration. What constitutes 'no one caring?' If a two hundred people have been waiting for Journey for instance, how is that no one? Just because ten million people aren't breaking down a door to get it and it isn't hyped to high heaven that make anyone who wants to play it 'no one'?

LoLZoRz4489d ago (Edited 4489d ago )

>implying he literally meant "no one".

jeez...

MysticStrummer4489d ago

>implying it's not yet another stupid article with a stupid title and a bad list to take up space on N4G

jeez...

LoLZoRz4489d ago

@MysticSummer

>implying your reply has to do anything with my reply.

Silly gameAr4489d ago

Exactly Mystic, and it's getting to hard to ignore these garbage articles because they are pretty much the majority of N4G and they're being approved as soon as they're submitted.

TMNT Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants review - Games Asylum

Games Asylum: "Well, this is neat. As the name suggests, Wrath of the Mutants is the rarest of things – a genuine arcade conversion. With most modern arcade games being ticket redemption machines, this is something seldom seen. In fact, the last arcade conversion we can recall was Raw Thrill’s own Cruis’n’ Blast on Switch back in 2021. This is also based on an older iteration of TMNT, harking back to the series from 2012-2017. It’s essentially breaking franchise continuity (we’ve had two different iterations of the Turtles since) and could even be considered nostalgic for a select few – those who grew up with 2012’s Turtles are probably in their late teens."

It must be frustrating for these devs to see Helldivers 2 absolutely devour their lunch lol

VenomUK1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

-Oh my God, this game looks like a complete rip-off of Helldivers II!

-At least it gives Xbox players the chance to experience something similar to the PlayStation game!

Jokes aside it does make you wonder why Sony, who owns the IP for both, is continuing with two products when there is such overlap. Should it one day make a new Starship Troopers film or a Helldivers film instead?
