I have been talking about console games for a while now so I decided to do a list for the PC gamers. Considering, I am a PC gamer myself, I should have made this list earlier but better late than never. I actually prefer gaming on PC because it is much more convenient for me; I mean I can’t even imagine playing shooting games on a console. Consoles are perfect for football and racing games but I would prefer a PC for other gaming including strategy and RPGs. Anyway, without further ado, I present to you the ten most anticipated games for PC. I am pretty sure I must have missed a couple of franchises even though I can’t think of any at the moment. If so, please do not hesitate to let us know, your opinions are always welcome.
10. FIREFALL
The being is being developed by the Red 5 Studios and is perhaps one of the most interesting shooters to be released this year. You can play it online for free and it allows you to switch roles as well. You can take roles like healing or turret fire and even long-ranged enemies therefore, engaging many different enemies. This particular aspect of the game should keep you guys interested and entertained for a long time. Even though the game is more about shooting, the story still is pretty kicking. Enjoy!
9. PREY 2
The original Prey was released in 2006 and it has been a long wait for Prey fans. Prey 2 is a first-person shooter game that is all set to be released this year. Human Head Studios have done an amazing job with the game. The game focuses on Killian Samuels. He is in a flight when the plane crashes onto the Sphere. He encounters some aliens and is rendered unconscious. The plot jumps forward several years from there. He is a bounty hunter in Exodus, an alien world. He has no memory but he managed to retain his skills. He has to recover his memory.
8. TERA
It is basically a very standard MMO game. Bluehole Studio is behind the development. It has many different quests to offer and it plays like a third-person action game. Positioning and movements are very critical to this game. It doesn’t work like your everyday game where the enemy has targeted you and you will automatically be hit. You can evade the attacks by simple movements. The visuals of this game are really awesome and it offers a smooth run to top it off. Enjoy!
7. BORDERLANDS 2
The game is the second installment of the 2009 Borderlands. It is due to be released in September this year. The game is being developed by Gearbox Software. It is a first person shooter, technically. You select one of the four new characters. Every single character has a unique skill and proficiency with a weapon. Different quests are assigned to you. You win money and items and you earn experience points. You can also consider it an action role-playing game.
6. XCOM: ENEMY UNKNOWN
This is supposed to be an upcoming strategy game. It is currently under development by Firaxis Games and is supposed to be release in October 2012. The game is a re-make of UFO: Enemy Unknown that was released back in 1994. It is set in the modern-day Earth and deals with an alien invasion. You will be the commander of XCOM. It is the most elite military organization ever, that is engaged in a war against in a battle with an enemy that is far better with technology and military might.
5. MASS EFFECT 3
It is an action role-playing game that was announced back in the year 2010. It deserves the spot of number 2 for several reasons. You should know that the combat has been changed massively and is nothing like the first two installments and the cover system in particular have been improved. You can move around a lot in the battlefield scoring yourself melee kills. The AI was greatly improved and a four-player multiplayer cooperative mode is also available if you so choose to try it.
4. BIOSHOCK INFINITE
BioShock is without a doubt one of the most awesome gaming series of this generation; pure genius. They took the game to a completely different direction with their latest installment. The work on Columbia is surprisingly and disturbingly detailed and don’t even get me started on the relationship of Booker and Elizabeth. If you disagree with me, then you need to see the demo at the latest E3 conference. It was beyond just epic.
3. STARCRAFT II: HEART OF THE SWARM
It is a military science-fiction real-time strategy game. It is a sequel to StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty and the second installment of StarCraft II trilogy. Part three should be titled Legacy of the Void. There will be additional units for you to play around with and many changes in the multiplayer scene. The campaign will focus on Zerg species. The installment should have around 20 different missions. No release date has been announced for the game so far, but we hope to keep you posted. The game takes place two years after Wings of Liberty in 2506.
2. GUILD WARS 2
The last game came out in the year 2007 and it was very obvious that a second installment will be released. There was absolutely no information regarding the second installment of this franchise for years but then finally the sequel was announced. The game is supposed to be absolutely brilliant considering the demos and the gameplay. It combines the open world with clever ways to socialize with a customizable and flexible combat system. It might just be the best MMO ever.
1. DIABLO III
There are no words that can perfectly describe this game. Diablo was a huge success right from the start and the third installment is all set to wreak havoc once again. The skill design is wonderfully varied, there is a lot of stuff to find and customize. The game has a lot of progression systems and that should keep us entertained for long. The cinematics are amazing and the gameplay is breathtaking. It has been over a decade since Diablo II was released so you can understand why I placed it at the first spot.
