Splatter House has been sitting in dust for far too long. First made for the Turbo Grafx, Splatter House took everything about the action beat-em up genre and made things sickeningly gory. Rick is back, his girlfriend is missing and a certain evil mask wants to help.
World of Warcraft has taken the mmorpg market by storm while holding most games in its grip. DC Universe Online is a different genre with a far different game play style. Superhero mmos aren't exactly over populated yet. DC is also easily recognizable. This gives the game a historical edge much like World of Warcraft. It makes sense, which gives the player a stronger feeling of who they are in the game.
Fable and Fable 2 are distant memories. To some they were far too linear and forgettable. To others a masterpiece. We'd like to see the game play become for more expansive like Oblivion. A main story to hold the game together and side quests with goals that massively the main character. So instead of just playing a hero, player a thief hero who is chased regularly by the law or other heroes who'd like the bounty on his head.There are far more games coming out that we should turn our heads towards. Comment below and let us know what you're waiting for.
I am looking forward to a few games that aren't on my esteemed colleague's list:
ReplyDeleteEnslaved: Odyssey to the West, by Ninja Theory (creators of Heavenly Sword), is coming to both PS3 and Xbox 360, with a new vision of a post-apocalyptic world. Gorgeous visuals and a unique co-op style could make this a very, very dark horse game this holiday season.
In terms of shooters, I think most everyone on the planet knows about the showdown between the next in line in the Call of Duty franchise, Black Ops, and the new Medal of Honor game from EA. But how about some non-traditional shooters like Brink, Vanquish and Quantum Theory? Can any of them find a market in this saturated holiday season?
And of course there are the big-sellers other than the previously mentioned shooters, like LittleBigPlanet 2, Halo: Reach, Gran Turismo 5, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and Fallout: New Vegas.
It's gonna be an expensive end of 2010.
Splatterhouse! mwahhaha! Even if its just a God o War clone it will still be awesome. The sound track seems to be as brutal as the game looks.
