Since most of us are hardcore gamers and keep track of the latest video games, get hyped up about new titles and buy them ``normally`` @ day 1, it is interesting to think about this situation which may never occur but a discussion material nonetheless:
If, by any reason, you would be stuck to 5 games a year, which of those 5 games will satisfy you all year and make you play continously.
I would make my own list and put reasons behind it, I would like you to contribute to the discussion by your list and reasons for your selection.
My list would have Battlefield Bad Company 2, Nba 2k11, Football Manager 2011, Mortal Kombat 9 and Civilization V
Battlefield Bad Company 2 because it`s the best multiplayer shooter for the last 2 years for me and it`s still fun to play
NBA 2k11 because it`s a game I play everyday and never get bored of it as well.
Football Manager 2011 because I`m a huge football fan and enjoy playing football games so much and since FM2011 keeps you busy for a long time, it`ll be on my list.
MK9 because I wouldn`t be able to survive without playing a fighting game and MK9 is my favorite with tons of content and rich multiplayer modes.
Civilization V because I love this game. Simple. It consumes lots of time but it`s fun ! Also they add new races and maps through DLCs so I wouldn`t get bored playing it.
RPG is my favorite genre but since I finished DAII and Fallout New Vegas, and since I don`t enjoy playing them after finishing once, I didn`t pick any of them as 40, 50 hours of content for a game won`t be enough for a year.
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.
LittleBigPlanet 2, InFamous 2, and ModNation Racers.
I know. Quality of User generated content has a sketchy track record.
But get this: lbp2 has 4.5 million levels. Even if 99% of them suck, that's still 45,000 levels worth playing.
I'd choose Halo:Reach, because the multiplayer is loads of fun.
Fifa 11 cause I can't live without playing a football game.
Maybe a Bethesda RPG game to kill some time.
nba 2k11 is were its at. they need to fix the online though
