Right I usually don't do blogs, or even post comments for that matter but thats besides the point,seeing as Pops and dedicated amongst other of you do quiet a few good blogs, I figured what the heck.
Sure this blog will have nothing to do with the Phil Fish fiasco, which I have no idea nor the slightest interest in to be honest, instead this blog will cover what has been some of the top notch games this year, I'll cover what I think are the top games in general and give you guys my thoughts on what will take many people by surprise.
As I'm sure many of us here on N4G have our favorite genre/platform to game on. I haven't played these due to not having the console or bought the game so i'll put an (*) next to those.
*Last of us: Keep hearing great things about this game, personally Naughty Dog has made me regret having an xbox 360 more than once. But hopefully if I ever get a PS4 I'll have access to this game and ND games.
*Metro Last Light
*Tomb Raider
*BioShock: Infinite- Gonna be honest here never played any of this franchise and I feel like i haven't missed out. Just not my thing.
*Fire Emblem: awakening-Must play this!!
*Luigi's Mansion
*Pikmin 3
**Watchdogs- Jump started the hype for Next-Gen this game will be solid.
**GTA V- should be great like any other R* game.
**Battlefield 4
The game that I, emphasis on I, think will be up there and one fiercest competitors is non other than.......
TOTAL WAR: ROME II
Some of you will go Total WWAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH? no i'm afraid we still have to wait for a Warhammer game from CA but still.
Rome 2 is probably on of the most epic games which will be coming out in 34 DAYS!!!
114 factions, 12 factions so far confirmed as playable, were given the option to re-create our history. Bringing down entire walls that fortify capitals, yes ENTIRE walls not just sections, want to create your own great 13th Legion you can! They get wiped out, you can raise the banner again.... after you reclaim the lost eagle. Want to set burn to Rome, DO IT!
Want to bring Spartan's back from being second rate military power and restore them to the times of Leonidas, you can!
This game can't be talked about enough, and I swear I rarely see any news on this on N4G or any other gaming site.
Now guys what games, do you think will take others by surprise, and have great chance at knocking the top contenders so far.
Till the next one I'll leave you with this
"You wouldn't believe how many times I'm misquoted" Julius Caesar, shortly after defeating the Nazis during the Battle of Waterloo, 1975.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
