Since this is our first games round-up, it’s safe to say that we’ve missed speaking about some pretty cool titles that made their way out in recent weeks. Allow us to rectify that.
What you missed…
Easily one of the biggest games of the year, Uncharted 3 is a PlayStation 3 exclusive title that brings together amazing graphics, an archaeology-adventure plot, and some solid gameplay.
It’s also the game that hasn’t left our PS3 all week. While parts of the game frustrate us, we quickly recover and realise that the gameplay can be very, very, very fun. Highly recommended.
Soccer games are always big, and they don’t get much bigger than FIFA. The latest entrant in the series – FIFA 12 – updates the roster, throws in some more realism, and basically leaves soccer-addicts in front of their consoles for the next year. It’s available for loads of consoles, including the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, Nintendo 3DS, Mac OS, and Windows PCs.
If soccer isn’t your thing, you might consider a basketball game. 2K’s NBA 2K12 brings together the current roster as well as legends of the sports, including Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird. It’s available on quite a few consoles, including the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, Windows PC, and even iPad and iPhone.
Before Modern Warfare 3 was released this week, gamers were getting their hands dirty with Battlefield 3, a first-person shooter that puts players in the shoes of a special forces soldier in the midst of a military conflict in 2014.
With both single and multiplayer on offer, we expect that we’ll still be playing it well into the new year. Battlefield 3 is available for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows PCs.
Like shooters of the movie variety? Activision has gone back to that classic James Bond movie “Goldeneye” and remade the game that everyone loved on the Nintendo 64. Still called Goldeneye, it’s available now for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
And still, we’re obsessed with dancing games. Dance Central 2 is the sequel to one of the best-selling dancing games ever, and it brings more tracks to the table, as well as some better multiplayer gameplay. It’s available only for the Xbox 360 with Kinect.
Doubt it. It’s Sony PS3 exclusive.
