Top 21 games to look forward in 2010 on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360:
There are tons of new games scheduled to be released on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2010. These are the games that you should keep an eye for. We at GB lists out our most wanted games for the year 2010. Here it is:
21. Dark Void
Releasing January 2010, this sci-fi action adventure game is set in the Bermuda Triangle. The player must fight an alien force called The Watchers. This being a new IP from Capcom, we will keep our eyes fixed out for this one, Since Capcom has had a string of great releases so far.
20. Lost Planet 2
Lost Planet on the Xbox 360 and PS3 was an under rated game. Featuring great gun play and some of the craziest boss battles the original was a bit of hit and miss. Another Capcom game in this list, will the sequel be any better. Judging by the game play trailer this sequel sure looks like it is going to deliver.
19. F1 2010
Its been over two years since a Formula One game was released. The last one was on the PlayStation 3. Formula one 2010 is being developed by Codemasters who are in real sense masters of racing genre these days. With hit games like Dirt and Grid, F1 2010 will look to follow suit.
18. Dead Rising 2
Chop till you drop! Chuck Greene is in all sorts of trouble or should we say zombies? This new Dead Rising will be way different than the original since it will have Role Playing elements in it. The virus that originated in a mall in Santa Cabeza has made its way to Fortune City, a virtual place in the United Sates. Are you ready to chop again?
17. CrackDown 2
Crackdown 2 will continue the story from where the original left. You will be again playing as a super agent dude in the game and you have to fight off against criminals in Pacific City. No release date has been announced but we can bet that this game will see the light in 2010.
16. I Am Alive
Under development by Ubisoft, I Am Alive tells the story of Adam the protagonist of the game. The plot is pretty unique, the world has been destroyed by an earthquake and there is a huge scarcity of water. The story will take place in Chicago where Adam will be searching for his girlfriend, Alice.
15. Bayonetta
Bayonetta is an upcoming action game developed for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and will be hitting the stores in January 2010. Taking a clue from Devil May Cry and Heavenly Sword, year 2010 will start with a bang.
14. The Agency
Though very little is known about this game, The Agency is massivley multiplayer online game which will hit the PC and the Playstation 3 sometime time in 2010. Players will have the option of joining two Agency organizations: The United Network of Intelligence and Tactical Experts and The Paramilitary Global Operations Network.
13. L.A. Noire
Coming on both the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3, L.A. Noire will be set in Los Angeles. As usual Rockstar keeps all the things under wrap unless they themselves want to release some information. We will keep our fingers crossed on this one but expect a GTA type of experience with this game.
12. Agent
Another Rockstar game and this one is a PlayStation 3 exclusive. According to a Rockstar press release the game will be based on ”the world of counter-intelligence, espionage and political assassinations”.
11. Fable III
If Fable 2 was anything to go by, than the third installment in the series will be really something to look forward to. Fable II had some of the most beautiful worlds created in role playing games, and We would really love to see what Lion Head studios next game will bring to the table. Fable 2 really brought the game to life with its variety in gameplay and social elements. We bet that Fable III should be another stunning game.
10. MAG
It seems that whenever Sony pushes out an online game in the market, they want to better their last efforts. Massive Action Game will feature 256 player online battles. The 256 players will be divided in to 8 player teams with 4 forming a company and rest a platoon. We will see how the servers will hold up as over 250 players online is no joke!
9. Alan Wake
Another big exclusive on the 360, Alan Wake, Remedy believe the game will play out as a pseudo-episodic narrative, the missions serving to underline distinct sections of the plot. The overall feel of a ‘dramatic television series’ is promised. There is also no multiplayer element to the game, the developers instead are focussing on a killer single player experience.
8. Final Fantasy XIII
To be released on the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, FF 13 revolves around the story of an object named as falcie which is made of crystals. Hence the game is a part of Fabula Nova Crystallis Final Fantasy XIII collection. Characters in the game are Lightning, Sazh Katzroy, Serah Farron and many others.
7. Splinter Cell: Conviction
We previewed this game the other day, and again I will repeat the same thing this game is way different from the other games in the franchise. Its a revolution. What we have seen so far, Conviction is going to be one of the major trump cards of Microsoft in 2010 and believe me this is going to be one stunner of a game.
6. Heavy Rain
From what we’ve seen so far, this game looks phenomenal and unique in every way. Quantic Dream has been very careful about keeping the story secret. Even though it is a single-player game, watching the events unfold is just as intense and exciting for an audience. All the news regarding latest developments it is evident that the game developing process in running very smoothly and everything is right on track. Being a major PS3 exclusive Heavy Rain promises to deliver on its expectations and that coming from the developers of Quantic Dream’s background we are confident too.
6. BioShock 2
Bioshock 2 will take place ten years after the original Bioshock and players will assume the role of a Big Daddy. If the sequel can be anything closer to what the original achieved, than we will be in for a major treat. The real beauty of the original lied in the way that the game allowed the customization of the weapons, the amount of plasmids you can use, plus you can use the environment to your advantage. We will see how this will pan out and is one of the major games to hit 2010.
5. The Last Guardian
Team ICO has a pedigree of great Playstation 2 games like Shadow of the Colossus and ICO, The Last Guardian should not be anything less than stellar. The developers at Team ICO are hard at work for the last four years and when 2010 hits that should make it five. Early trailers indicates a small boy riding a griffin like creature. Judging by that we can see a lot of platforming sections and puzzles that the previous two games were known for.
4. Mass Effect 2
Commander Shepard returns for this sequel to the 2007 Xbox 360 hit: Mass Effect. According to the developers, Shepard is on a suicide mission and expect some major gameplay changes like automatic regeneration of health, better weapon and inventory management and much fluid animations. This is one major game for the PC and Xbox 360 in 2010.
3. Gran Turismo 5
Announced way back in E3 2005, Gran Turismo 5 is going to be awesome. But having said that game will be carrying huge expectations since the game has undergone a huge development cycle. If the final product is somewhat similar to what we had in GT PSP than it will be unfortunate, but we hope that wont be the case when the game hits in 2010.
2. Halo: Reach
Halo. The word is so special. Whenever or wherever it gets mentioned it gets accolades and achievements. The last release, ODST was a stellar of a game, and against what many people say that its just an expansion, it wasn’t, but the truth is ODST managed to better Halo 3. No plotlines and gameplay elements have been announced so far, but this game will be the final one in the series.
1. God of War 3
God of War franchise has to be one of the major and the biggest franchises out there. The hype of third part of the game is at an all time high. I doubt that you people should have any complain by seeing this game on top of our list. Kratos’s actions are brutal like ripping off heads or tearing a Mortar apart, this game will have tons of blood and action. Through this game the developers will finaly explain why the Greek mythology ended. We just cant wait for this game.
