New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)

anyone else playing the Battlefield 3 beta?

it's pretty damn good, this game is going to be sick

here's a good review of it

Battlefield 3 Beta Impressions - Battlefield 3 - Xbox 360 - www.GameInformer.com (http://www.gameinformer.com/games/battlefield_3/b/xbox360/archive/2011/09/27/battlefield-3-beta-impressions.aspx)

I was on last night, enjoyed it. Haven't gotten to the point where the vehicles are available, which to me is what will set this game apart. Graphics were pretty decent.

Yeah can't wait for the vehicles too.

Graphics should be cleaned up on the final release.

When playing shooters, are you one to actively communicate with your team? I just can't bring myself to be that guy, I'm more of a leroy jenkins.

I returned Dead Island after a week. Huge disappointment considering how much a fan I am of all things zombie. I got it expecting a decent attempt at a story, but the game put a big skip this cut scene prompt smack dab in the corner of the screen of every cut scene which couldn't be removed. To me that translated to "we don't give a crap about the story." Combine that with my other deal breaker of mute main characters that engage in one way dialogs. Granted the game was beautiful and did a nice job of producing scares as well as the type of environment you look for in a zombie game but beyond that it was shallow.

Just bought Deus Ex Human Revolution. Game looks very promising so far. Also looking forward to Uncharted 3 in November, Dead Rising 2: Off the Record in October, and the Metal Gear HD collection in Mid-November. Assasins Creed Revelation should also be solid.

Also haven't gotten around to Batman Arkham Asylum nor the upcoming Arkham City but everything I've read declares it's a hell of a game. Still always good to have rainy day games saved away seeing as how you only really get 4 or 5 good non-sport games a year.


If you have not played the Uncharted series yet you must do so, probaly one of the best video games I have ever played, especially number 2.
