Nintendo Wii, Playstation 3, Star Wars, Xbox 360
Consoles, Gameplay and the Force Unleashed, Oh my!
After months of salivating over the next Star Wars game, The Force was finally unleashed in what seemed to be more like a movie premiere than a video game launch. The game found its way onto all three consoles, varying in appeal. If you’re one of the uncertain gamers still hiding within the Wookie cave, have patience, young padawan, GotGame has you covered. We’ll take a stroll in the Star Wars universe and leave you more mindful of the Force than ever.
As humans, we possess qualities that separate us from the rest of our humanoid brethren. These qualities spew from us on a daily basis and we don’t even realize it. Some of us can be extremely polite, shy all the way to self-serving, or even (unfortunately) behave like a jerk-off. But have you ever taken the time to sit and think about how these personalities are portrayed in your character in World of Warcraft?
Blizzard has built a reputation and greatness as a game developer in a way that no other gaming company has ever done. Fashioning unique gameplay through the original Diablo, Warcraft and Starcraft series, there is little wonder as to why gamers listen intently when Blizzard echoes the announcement of a new title. Having control of what may very well be the PC world; few can even match what Blizzard offers. But with Blizzard in full control of the gaming market, they and Vivendi Universal win while we gamers unfortunately say “GG.”
By now, we have all come to the realization that sex sells. Video games marketed to the teen and beyond generation have recently begun to include even more explicit posturing from the female entities. More recently, you have probably noticed such content from Soul Calibur IV. As if the protruding breasts and exposed underwear fail to warrant your attention, Namco looks to direct that attention to the downloadable content that can erect some activity from your pocket book.
With the college semester drawing closer and being forced to drop our controllers for briefcases, who has any time for character advancement and talent points? If you crave that gaming fix, but simply cannot find more than 30 minutes to stuff it in your schedule, we have you covered. We have a small list of current and soon-to-be released games that will leave you feeling like you just exited a time machine. Fear not! These games do not compromise the gameplay or that social competition that you live by.
We have all had an embarrassing moment while gaming that we hope is never shown to the outside world. From killed keyboards to mangled monitors, we have all destroyed some piece of our own hardware (and our mental health) while screaming an expletive at our console or PC. Remember those silly moments when you were annihilated by a rogue? Or perhaps fragged cheaply and repeatedly by the same guy with the same weapon over and over again? Well, some gamers had the balls to get themselves on tape and put it up on the internet—and we’ve got the top five moments.
With the rising popularity of the UFC, it was almost inevitable that a game would eventually spawn from the blood and sweat of the octagon. UFC: Undisputed promises to utilize gorgeous gameplay and enhanced physics to produce the greatest amount of realism that video games offer today. Submissions and knockouts aside, most gamers realize that no matter how hard a company tries, these games fail to live up to their namesake and fall face first to the mat. Can THQ deliver the knockout and create the next legendary sports series?
Hello Blizzard, Ape and Midway. You let some of your best games go to waste: treasures such as Uniracers and Rock ‘N’ Roll Racing. Games in these series, of this caliber, never made a return to the world of Nintendo in sequel form; heck, even Nintendo must take the blame for destroying their potential. Here are five games which deserved worthwhile, life-changing sequels…that never came to be.
