The PS3 team go over their number one choices for games that they just can’t wait to get their hands on in 2012.
Fallout Fans thought we were getting the last of New Vegas‘ DLC packs a couple of months ago when the Gunrunners’ Arsenal came out, but this week an un-official mod made by the game’s Project Director, J.E. Sawyer, was released. It’s not a patch or a DLC, but rather a mod that adds in some balances that suited Sawyer’s own tastes.
If you’re an Xbox owner who just can’t wait for Minecraft to hit XBLA, you might want to take a look at at the indie gameFortressCraft which might be just a tiny bit inspired by Minecraft. FortressCraft has just entered a new phase of development which adds in numerous new features.
Rockstar’s rootin’ tootin’ free roamin’ shoot ’em up is on sale today (Thursday the 29th) along with all of its DLC packs as part of their 12 Days of Deals. You can get Red Dead Redemption for 25% off of its normal price of thirty dollars, and the DLC packs are all 50% off.
This makes most of the DLC packs five dollars each, including the highly-recommended Undead Nightmare Pack. Or you can just get the Undead Nightmare Collection which includes just about all of the DLC content for ten dollars. Players who are just looking for a single-player experience are advised to stick with the Undead Nightmare Pack as most of the other DLC is multiplayer oriented.
2011 has been a very well-paced year for gamers. We started out with a couple of hits in January and ended with a major release less than a week before Christmas. My favorites this year include horror, comedy, epic RPG’s, downloadable arcade games, and even a DLC pack from a 2010 game that was so good it deserves just as much honor as the full games. Developers are making great games at a faster rate than anyone can play them all, but here are ten that I thoroughly enjoyed.
We’ve been talking about our favorite games from the last year, but amidst all the instant classics that emerged in 2011, there were plenty of games that seemed on the verge of greatness… until we actually played them. Maybe it was slick marketing, or perhaps franchise loyalty, or completely unfounded optimism, but we all played some games this year that just didn’t live up to our expectations.
