    wish diablo 3 was out and the old republic maybe even DC universe but most of the games out now i dont want besides maybe cod bo but ill wait till they patch it up good.
  2. They all look great, but because of geographical pricing I won't be buying most of them until they are at least reduced by 75%, So a few xmas's away for me.

    I'm Australian but not stupid. Looking forward to the steam sales.

    I just love this comment on The Force Unleashed II, "a lot more action compared to the first game." The game is much shorter than the first one, the reason I took it off my Wish List. It has less game play and therefore less action "compared to the first game". Not to mention less story.

    It's good to see a few PC dedicated titles like Civ 5 on here. Still though, I'm waiting on Diablo 3 more than any other game.

    Recently purchased an Asus G73jw on advice from your laptop guide, you saved me from wasting money on a new Dell XPS, thanks Techspot! So far it's absolutely great.

    If you want a new title from blizzard and are tired of its old games sc2 is not be very impressive. But I have high hopes for its custom games. I have already played a few that I did not even think were possible to make in sc2.

    The title of this article should be, "Hottest Multiplatform Games for the 2010 Holiday Season." Almost all of these games are console ports. Some of them aren't even good games (ex. Medal of Honor, Mafia II).

    Congratulations to Firaxis and Blizzard for publishing some PC exclusive content and keeping gaming alive on the truly superior platform.
  9. I have completed the campaign of Call of Duty : Black Ops and have to say that the game is disappointing compared to Modern Warfare 2. Small things such as the sound effects and AI feels different compared to MW2. Maybe it is just me but that is my personal opinion. However, I do find that the storyline is intriguing and gets me thinking about what is going to happen next. If i were to rate the game I will give it an above average rating but definitely lower than MW2.

    To me mainly the reason why people claims that BO is bad is mainly due to the hype that has been going on before the release of the game. Since the standard is already set by the predecessor of the COD line-up, I guess some feel that the quality drops since the previous series thus the "game suck". COD fans should not feel bad or angry about such comments as it is these feedbacks that the developers listen to and change to make a better game in the future. BO is not that bad after all as what I have just said.

    Though it might not be the place, I would like to say mass effect 2 is among the best of 2010, but the fact that it came out so early in the year would make it difficult for it to be GOTY.
    I might pick up bfbc2 if it is $10 during a steam sale or I will try to reduce my backlog. I just beat Mafia 2, and though there are many parts that are plain boring, the story (ending especially) is great. I am not sure if it is recommendable to everyone, but if you are patient it is a great game.

    For me, Death Spank is a unique one. I'll have to give it a try.

    so many good games so little money to buy them :D .
    i really want to try the new NFS and some shooters. btw DeathSpank looks interesting and it is also cheap. i'll try the demo first.

    Only 3 of these games I'm interested in, Fable 3, Medal of Honor and Need For Speed Hot Pursuit but Need For Speed I would probably want on PS3 =/

    I think 2011 will be a brilliant year for games and films, hope tesselation get's used alot.

    I just can't wait for Cata. The leadup to it is making me NUTS!

    Besides that, I was so disappointed with FFXIV (So glad it didn't make the list, it doesn't even deserve to call itself a PC game) that I'm seriously rooting for Bliz come this year's ironic release date.
