6 Incredible Games That Need Sequels

6 Incredible Games That Need Sequels

, , , , , , , , 1

Sequels are an integral part of the gaming industry. Just like with other entertainment mediums, successful titles are seen as perfect examples for further exploiting. It makes sense, as fans who have already enjoyed a particular game are likely to want to purchase further entries in the series. This makes sequels a sound investment for publishers and developers who might not want to risk creating a brand new intellectual property when they know they can make a profit with another instalment. However, for one reason or another successful games do not get sequels. Sometimes the rights for a particular title may be owned by an entity that does not want to allow further games to be made or the original developer may not be able to work on a further title. Whatever the reason, fans can be left incredibly disappointing when a franchise does not continue, especially if the story hasn’t been concluded. So as much as we all love having developers take risks and create brand new properties, sometimes

http://youtu.be/8M-mNbs5mR0 Larry Hyrb, better known as Major Nelson, has revealed the games that will be given away free to Xbox Live Gold members in October. Xbox One users will be able to get their hands on Chariot while Xbox 360 owners will get access to Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and Darksiders II.

Darksiders II Delayed to August

According to a blog post on Darksiders II’s official website, the game’s release has been pushed back from June to August. This of course makes me incredibly sad and happy at the same time. Sad that I wont be able to play it as soon as I’d hoped, and happy that the game will be getting the polish it needs. I’m so conflicted right now. As quoted on their site, [quote]The rumor-mill has been churning with speculation recently, so we wanted to put it to rest first here with our core fans: Darksiders II will be moving to release globally in August 2012, rather than June as previously announced.  It’s just a short delay, but we promise the game you’ll have in August will be well worth the wait! This is great news for the team at Vigil, because it allows additional time for polish and to ensure that all aspects of Darksiders II meet the high-quality bar the team is targeting. In game development, more time is always a good

Darksiders II Collector’s and Limited Editions Announced

Darksiders II Collector’s and Limited Editions Announced

THQ has just announced that Darksiders II will be available in both Limited and Collector’s editon forms. The Limited edition is available to anyone who pre-orders the game and it comes with a voucher for the Argul’s Tomb DLC. Thankfully, unlike many other publishers who love to cut content and then resell it to you later, the Argul’s Tomb DLC will not be available day one. A bit like Battlefield 3 and its Back to Karkand expansion, this voucher simply guarantees you a free download of the DLC once it’s available online.  The Collector’s Edition is a different beast entirely and will cost you $99. What you’ll get is a life-sized replica of Death’s mask along with a stand, a hardcover artbook, a digital soundtrack, the Shadow of Death skin and scythes, and all the contents of the Limited Edition. Not bad. All of this will good stuff will hit store shelves on June 26th, where you’ll no doubt find me drooling all over my copy.
