E3 2010 Most Anticipated Games

DARKMARATHON: E3 2010 Most Anticipated Games.  There are so many video games shown at each year, but so far E3 2010 is the show that made me want the most quantifiable amount of newly announced games. The bar of quality seems to have gone up from showings of past. Maybe they put something in the water? Maybe it's all the effects of the oil in the water from that B.P. spill? There can only be a select few of games that have I can consider in that top echelon and my top 10 most anticipated games from E3 2010. Why only 10? Because everyone loves top 10 lists.

List items

  • A trend in video games seems to be using the exact titles of old games to revitalize and even re-envision old titles. What creators gain by re-using old titles is instilling those fond memories of gameplay in the original version for players old enough that played that old game. That nostalgia factor is a guaranteed buy. What re-using a game's title also does is allow the developers behind the game to do is to take the original core ideas of a game from the past and instill contemporary game sensibilities into the new game. At the same time current technology allows developers to make a game that was not possible when the original title came out and create a game that is closer reality. This re-use of a title also has the added benefit of introducing the name to a new younger audience that never played the original but maybe familiar with the name. The Need For Speed franchise still sells like crazy, but the games for a long time have been in a gradual downward spiral in terms of quality with each new iteration. What makes Hot Pursuit special is that it is developed by Criterion, the team behind the extremely fun Burnout games, and they bring constant leaderboard pop-ups from Burnout: Paradise to foster obsessive competition into Need For Speed.
