Father Time is a cruel master, marching forward inexorably without a care for our mortal whims, such as the real and growing concern that there were too many games this year and just not enough time to play them all. True, I’m not really one to talk given how many games I’ve put away since 2010 started with Mass Effect 2, but there were some that I’ve missed. Final Fantasy XIII tops that list, followed by Gran Turismo 5 and a couple downloadable titles like Super Meat Boy and Sonic the Hedgehog 4.
True, some of the games passed me by simply because I was busy playing other ones, but every year there’s always a few that slip through my fingers regardless. Since we had such a banner year release wise, with something new to play almost every month, I was wondering if you guys had any games you missed out on. While it is true that we can always go back and play ones that we forgot, 2011 is quickly coming up and the bevy of games that are going to be available then look tasty indeed.
So what games got by you and why? Any you regret missing, or any you passed up on purpose? Go!
I actually have yet to play the new Fallout, or Halo Reach. But, I’m really not missing anything at the moment, minus a friend that wants to badly play Reach together.
Ummm…
I missed more than a few, but my Top 5 missed are probably:
AC: Brotherhood
CoD: Black Ops
Fallout: New Vegas
GT 5
Civ 5
Where do I start…
Anything on 360 or PS3, so RDR, Halo:Reach, Limbo, Tomb Raider, COD:Black Ops (didnt get PC version either), Fable 3, Alan Wake, Fallout NV, FF XIII, Heavy Rain, God of War 3, GT5, Bioshock 2 as well as many others are all out.
Actually I really didn’t buy a lot at all this year. Mass Effect 2 a few things for my DS, and some games that are a couple of years old so I could get them cheap. I’m waiting for AC:Brotherhood to come out on PC and for some Wii titles to actually get released in Australia (Kirby in particular).
Wow, I have missed out on a lot this year 🙁
The only game from 2010 I played is GT5, so I missed pretty much everything xD
I’m kind of in the same boat with suprnovaforce. RDR, Alan Wake and Heavy Rain all didn’t come out for PC. Such bullshit.
Still waiting on AC:Brotherhood PC’s release, which I’ll have to give a reluctant try just because of how much I love the previous 2.
My new room mate does have a PS3 though, so I’ll probably be picking up Heavy Rain and possibly RDR on the cheap after Christmas. I’ll also probably pick up SuperMeatBoy on the WiiWare.
Nice to know I’m not the only one Julez. Red Dead PC version can’t happen soon enough (if it happens at all)
I missed Limbo, New Vegas and Reach. I’ll play them all eventually (unless Limbo isn’t coming to PSN).
