It's the same story every November: way too many must-play games, not nearly enough money or time. I could easily make two more lists of runners-up and third-place finishers, but the games I am most interested in include: Lord of the Rings: War in the North , Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception , The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword , Sonic Generations , Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary , and Rayman Origins . Perhaps surprisingly, Super Mario 3D Land is my most anticipated game of the month, as I can't wait to see what Nintendo's best designers can do with the 3DS. Though I have no intention of abandoning Forza Motorsport 4 anytime soon (that game is so good!), special mention must go to Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 , which has a real shot at being the most-played game in my house for the foreseeable fut
On the non-Vita side of things I'm looking forward to experiencing Resident Evil: Revelations in earnest, after the great demo hooked me in. Aside from that I'm also looking forward to checking out the first DLC for Iron Brigade/Trenched , Rise of the Martian Bear, as well as Alan Wake's American Nightmare , both downloadable follow-ups to games I enj
Voting started on December 24th, and ended on January 21st. Each voter was asked to give ten preferences in order, with the first game scoring four points, second and third scoring three, ranks from four to six scoring two points, and the rest only one. Two honorable mentions were also allowed, but scored no points.
The update also brings the usual slab of hero changes, including a lot of love for Bastion. Aiming to make the character more self-sufficient, Blizzard have buffed the character heavily. For example, when in sentry mode or in Ultimate, he takes 35 percent less damage, he can enter Sentry Mode quicker and has a larger magazine in that form. However, it's not all love and buffs for the guy. Blizzard have also dealt him an increase in bullet spread, and he now can't deal critical hits while in Sentry Mode. His Ultimate also no longer provides bonus ar
Enemy shots no longer need to travel a minimum distance before they can be blocked
Developer Comments: Previously, there was a minimum distance a projectile had to travel before it could be destroyed by Defense Matrix. This made it nearly worthless in situations where an enemy was right next to your teammate, such as when Roadhog hooks your ally. This change removes that restriction so Defense Matrix should now reliably destroy projectiles regardless of how far they have trave
Typical criticisms of the Assassin's Creed franchise include a lack of unique objectives and gameplay that only consists of clearing map markers. So when Assassin's Creed Unity launched late last year, what fans didn't expect to see was a fps Game weapons that regularly dropped its framerates , server connections that stopped them from opening loot chests, and characters whose faces fell off mid-conversation or even mid-k
Yes, the PlayStation Vita isn't a game, but it's probably one of the most anticipated handhelds of all time. With it, Sony plans to take portable gaming a step further; dual analog sticks, front and rear touch pads, and a beautiful OLED screen make the Vita a gamer's dream. With the promise of always on connectivity and console quality games on the go, the Vita has earned the immense hype surrounding
A second gate no longer closes after the payload passes through the castle doors. Instead, rubble from the damaged doorway partially blocks the entrance. Developer Comments: Once the offensive team gets through the castle entrance, the map becomes very heavily stacked in the defense’s favor. This change will give the offense more entrance options, which should improve the map’s overall bala
I'll be picking up Uncharted 3 when it releases on the 1st, which will provide a bit of a break from Batman: Arkham City . The continuing adventures of Ezio will have to wait until I have some cash in my pocket. In the meantime though, I'll go back to playing Deus Ex: Human Revolution which I am close to finishing. Skyrim also has me excited, but to be frank Deus Ex is all of the RPG that I can handle at the moment. Albeit a cyberpunk RPG as opposed to a Tolkien fantasy
Bastion takes 35% less damage while in Configuration: Sentry or Tank
Developer Comments: The goal of these changes is to move some of Bastion's power from Configuration: Sentry to Recon, while keeping its sentry mode a strong option, especially versus tanks and barriers. Overall, Bastion should feel stronger and more flexible with these chan
(Image: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/QWXluel7OB4/hq720.jpg)Since there are just so many games coming out this month, I think I am going to have to not only invent a time machine and keep traveling back to play them, but I'll also have to forgo sleep, eating, and writing for Game Rant. Just kidding, I really like sleep and eating. My Games: Uncharted 3, Modern Warfare 3, Battlefield 3, Skyrim, LEGO Harry Potter Years 5-7, Assassin's Creed Revelations, Saints Row: The Third, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Lord of the Rings: War in the North, and Halo Anniversa
