Does anyone else think that there are no games coming this summer worth playing? I mean, Darkness, Overlord are pretty good games, but they came out already. I don't see any good games coming until te end of the summer, when students GO BACK TO SCHOOL. School, means more time at school and doing homework, and less time doing things that entertain. A crap load of awsome AAA games are coming out when school begins again, but where is the logic in that? They will all be competing for the consumer's money, and there are about 5-9 games that I am looking forward to, coming out all in the time period of 30 days. 5-9 times $80 is a lot of cash. I think the summer is an ideal time to release games, but no one seems to be doing so. Who else thinks that this summer holds nearly no good games to play? (August 21 doesn't count, cause summer ends.).

Yep, couldnt agree more. As you said, the only ''big'' games to come out this summer really were Darkness/ Overlord and few other small ones that are already out. The only other games worth mentioning coming out recently are Bioshock and Blue Dragon and they arent being released till late August, so that hardly constitutes as summer. But hey, gamers have been used to summer droubts for some time, we survive. Thats just the development cycle. But hey, should be worth it in the end, once we get out of the droubt, we will be swimming in fantastic games.

Lets just hope we can surrvive until we get there :)

Yea. But, man. BLue Dragon would be perfect for the summer. Tons of people would probably buy it because of the drought, and because it is a long RPG (which 360 lacks).

For me, Summer is a time for me to catch up on games i didnt get to finish for the past year. With school and work on my shoulders, i can't finish a lot of games that i purchase. Its also a time for me to buy cheap used games that i missed on its initial release. And this cycle seems to repeat itself for me.

Umm....sport games don't count because my 2006-2007 ver. are just fine, no need wasting $80 on some new menus....Two Worlds is going to suck, just from watching the gameplay mechanics I can tell (It's like watching any game, or playing a demo, the gameplay doesn not change in full ver.), too human might be good, If they remake it without so much friggin Hack&Slash. Just seems like N3 with not crappy anime, and upgradeable poeple who are machines...Stranglehold might be good, but it's still in August...

Well, have fun gaming. You're too picky, and those are all great games. Enjoy your 2 games while I enjoy all those games.

You sound like you're trying to hate on the 360.

Hmm i really hate it when people classify stuff as "it sucks". Shadowrun? I personally never played it, but no matter how bad it is, ill just say "i dont like it". Not "It sucks, doesnt count.". Its perspective. For some, this could be a good summer, but it seems like for people like you, its going to Suck.

Also, I'd like to see his gamercard, and see if he has even played the games he's trashing. If he hasn't, it's a moot point.

I have played all demos for the games, except those who don't have demos. Games that play like CS, IMO I despise, I don't see the fun in playing 1 min, dying, then watching the rest of the round...And Two Worlds is obviously made for PC controls. I looks akward when people are playing, I just think "How is the control format going to work???". On 360 I think it will not be that good, but it might be alright on PC. Call of Juarez is just too old. The game just feels mediocre, and the graphics...

It doesn't sound like you actually want to play any games this summer, so that's why you think it's dry.

If you take the time to oberve people on CS, you'd learn how to play. So you dont get killed as a first-blood. Plus if you're not at a game doesn't mean the game sucks. I love CS, and i'm no pro at it.

Not sure about two worlds, but when i first heard about CC3 coming to 360, i thought it wouldnt work. But it came out strong. So i think out of the entire developer team for a game like that, one will probably come out with a good way of playing.

CnC3 doesn not work very well. The PC ver. is much better, and RTS with controller doesn't handle very smoothly at all. If I could plug the mouse in I would, but the controller just doesn't work. Btw. My friend is a PC lover and I argue with him all the time that the 360 is better for many things. RTS is not one of them though. I love 360 because it is so easy to use and the online services are awsome. BTW. I am talking about games released in the middle of summer, not near the end when I will have no time to play them. I am also peeved, because all the good games got pushed back into september when I will have to be working HARD at school. Assassin's Creed also got punched out of April, and Mass Effect was shoved out of spring, so now when I was looking forward ro these awsome games...I have alot of mediocre games without the "epicness", and a bunch that are not very appealing. I also have played CS before, and playing for even 5 min then watching for 5 min is too long a wait imo. I want to play not watch. And there is very little though behind the game. It's basically the first person to shoot, and the person with the most health wins, that what it comes down to.

BTW the demo is NOT THE GAME unless the demo is released after the game is out do you read the message at the begining of the demo where it says GAME WILL DIFFER FROM RETAIL

So what? Save up some money this summer for those amazing games coming out in fall. The drought is perfect timing. Then again, maybe I just feel that way because I've probably bought too many games this year and easily have enough to last me until the next batch of great games start coming. Bioshock's coming what, August 21st or something? That isn't too far off.

A demo is not a representation of the final retail product. You haven't played the games you're trashing, and you don't have to. But just because you don't like the way they look....doesn't mean they are trash or suck. You're just not interested.

The only game Im buying until probably September will be the Darkness. I wish MC would update the backwards comatible list sometime within the next month, so then I could play some Xbox greats along with my 360 games to pass the time easier.

Just don't suck and you should be good.

Edit: That doesn't make much sense, but really, if you aren't bad at the game the whole round format doesn't matter.

I really am looking forward to Blue Dragon, and probably Overlord. But racing games are too repetetive and frustrating at times, Two Worlds combat shown looks very akward and "not-for-consoles". Shadowrun is also a rip-off for $80. You get a few maps with gameplay I have already experienced, and the quality is the ****

How is Two Worlds combat awkward and "not for consoles"? It's just like Oblivion, and it controls like any other console hack and slash game. :|

Ya I like Callof Juarez and the Darkness, but the others are bad. Shadowrun I owned for a week and traded it in because it gets old pretty fast. Now Two Worlds is a BIG maybe I've heard a lot of bad stuff about it from flying horses to invisible walls to horrible framerate, jaggies, and washed out graphics that look like a ps2 game. The whole stacking weapons, and magic elemental cards is cool and I've heard the spells arethe real eye candy, buteverything else look washed out. And not to mention that it has awhole different combat scheme than Oblivion where just X acts as your action/striking button that you have to button smash over and over again. I think I might just stay with Oblivion, or even wait for Conan or Fable 2 for a RPG like that.

Meh, its not a bad summer of gaming. Its just that there are so many good games coming out right when the summer ends, such as Halo 3, Bioshok, GTA 4 andespecially Assasins Creed. These coming games just seem to render the listed summer games obsolete, imo.
