Upcoming

Heyy guys. It's been a long time since my last post. I have been sort of busy since the last few months. I haven't got times to play many games since my last post. I did play and complete an old game called Second Sight which came out in 2004. I liked it. And i have started with Mafia 2 but I haven't completed it yet. I'm still playing it. In fact I am playing it real slow. All the Grand Theft Auto games had a lot of bugs and glitches, and since this is a somewhat similar game in approach, I am taking my own time and hunting for as many bugs and glitches. Other than these two, I haven't really got time playing video games in these 5 months unless you count playing a little bit of MMORPGs online like Ultima Classic. However, I know I am going to get very busy from the end of this year. That's because some fantastic games are coming out very soon. Games that I can't wait to lay my hands on. Well here I am going to list some games that are going to be released very soon and are eagerly being waited by not just me but gamers all over the world. The ones I'm listing are the ones I'm too excited about. So, IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER , here goes.

1) BATMAN :ARKHAM CITY

From my previous review of Batman Arkham Asylum, you can get to see how crazy I got after playing the game. It was fabulous. So you can very well imagine my excitement over the upcoming sequel. There's no way I can miss this one. I'm already making efforts to pre-order it. The previous installment took place inside the infamous Arkham Asylum prison. This game takes place inside a part of Gotham City which is being used as a prison. Portion of the city is dubbed " Arkham City" and it's perimeters are armed with tough private military contractors thus confining dangerous criminals in that part of the city. When pandemonium takes place inside Arkham City, Batman must once again infiltrate the city like he did Arkham Asylum last time and restore peace again. And this time, the thrills, the action and everything is double. Word has it that Catwoman even appears as a playable character in this game. There are talks of Robin being there as well. That we'll find out when the game releases on OCTOBER 18, 2011 but till then here's the trailer. The trailer used the track "This Ain't no place for a Hero" by The Heavy.

2) SPIDERMAN: EDGE OF TIME

This game is being developed by the not so known Beenox Developer company. This is the second Spiderman game released by them, the first one being Spiderman :Shattered Dimensions which came out in 2010. Honestly speaking, I have NOT played Spiderman :Shattered Dimensions but I read some reviews which turned out to be positive. This was a totally new concept where 4 different versions of spiderman from alternate dimensions of the Marvel Comic world work together . I wanted to check it out badly and by the time I decided to get a copy of this one, a sequel to this called Spiderman: Edge of Time was already announced. This one has not four, but two different Spidermen from two different time periods working together against a criminal mastermind. In the year 2099, an organization known as Alchemax has become too powerful and influential and rules the world with an iron fist. This is due to a villainous scientist who travels back in time from 2099 to the present in order to use his futuristic knowledge to found Alchemax much early for it's time. Now Spiderman 2099/Miguel Ohara and Spiderman Present/Peter Parker must work together across time to prevent this. Also Spiderman 2099 knows that Peter parker is to die at the hands of Anti-Venom due to the scientist's deeds. He has to save a spiderman from an alternate timeline. This is a concept I'm dying to see when the game releases. It would be great to have a storry spanning between two different timelines and be able to control the present Spiderman as wel as Spiderman of the future. I'm going to check out Spiderman :Shatter Dimensions very soon after that Spiderman: Edge of Time. Looking to pre-order this one as well. It releases on October 4, 2011. Checkout the trailer.

3) TOMB RAIDER

This one looks like a series reboot. An origin story of one of the most famous video game characters ever. Lara Croft has ruled the hearts of all gamers ever since she debuted with Tomb raider (1996). This new Tomb Raider game, published by Square Enix and developed by Crystal Dynamics is all set to narrate the story of Lara Croft's first ever adventure, the story of how she came to be as skilled as she is. Fresh from academy and in search of lost relics, a 21-year-old Lara journeys to an island off the coast of Japan aboard the Endurance, a salvage vessel . Before anchoring at bay, the ship is cleaved in two by an unforeseen storm leaving Lara separated from any other survivors and washed ashore. She must endure physical and emotional torture in order to survive the island . Unlike other games in the series, Lara will not have a weapon at her disposal when you begin controlling her and neither will you have much items. You'll just be dead tired and worn out just like a ship wrecked person cast onto an island is. The game begins with Lara devoid of any weapons, tools or essentials such as food and water, which the player must search for in order to survive. And the biggest thing is Lara Croft is not the tough woman we know from the previous games. She's a rookie and has no previous experience of any adventure. We will have to guide our heroine to safety. This one really sounds interesting as it sounds different from all the previous Tom Raider games we have played. I'm really eager for this one to come out, but this wait is quite long as TOMB RAIDER is to come out in Autumn of 2012. Here's the trailer.

There are some others coming out as well. A sequel to Max Payne 2 has been rumored snce the last 2 years but we didn't have one yet. However, this time, a third Max Payne installment is really supposed to be released sometime in 2012, but we have no other info yet apart from this promotional poster.

So all you gamers out there, you know what games you can expect in recent times. HAPPY GAMING.
