The 10 Hottest PC Games Arriving in 2010

Published

on

2010 promises to deliver some really high quality computer games to our hard drives, including a bunch o indie games that will certainly rock after coming out of nowhere (see the success of recent games like Plants vs. Zombies, Braid, Torchilight etc). The gaming industry has a pretty impressive lineup of PC games coming in 2010 and choosing the hottest ten seems like a really difficult job to do, but it’s something that has to be done. So waste no more time and check out Unigamesity’s list of the 10 hottest PC games to be released in 2010!

10-assassins-creed210. Assassin’s Creed II
Already released on consoles, the sequel to Assassin’s Creed is already considered one of the better releases of the year. And since personal computers will be able to deliver more fuel to Ubisoft’s game, it is highly probable that Enzio’s adventures will be the best looking on a computer platform. And only then you add the non-linear story and host of new features to have a really hot PC game for 2010.

Coming March this year, Assassin’s Creed II can be pre-ordered from Amazon.com or PlayAsia

09-brink9. Brink
After Fallout 3, Bethesda publishes another post- apocalyptic game: this time a full First Person Shooter with a few RPG elements (experience points and probably level-ups). Add to that the SMART (Smooth Movement Across Random Terrain) Freerunning System (think Mirror’s Edge), 8 player co-op play and huge customization options and you have enough reasons to put Brink on your most wanted list. And, after all, it’s Bethesda we’re talking about!

Coming sometime this Fall, Brink will be available on Amazon.com and Steam.

08-metro20338. Metro 2033
This might be one of the pleasant surprises of the year, even though it’s incredibly un-promoted, so to say. Created by a team that worked on S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernoby, this First Person Shooter (with horror/survival and RPG elements) is set in a post-apocalyptic, frozen future when human kind is, obviously under threat. Expect lots of fighting, tight corridors and dark corners filled with monsters. Yummy!

Coming this Macrh, Metro 2033 can be purchased from Amazon

07splinter-cell-conviction7. Splinter Cell: Conviction
This game not only that brings back co-op play to the series, but also becomes more rewarding for the modern shooter fan: stealth becomes a lethal weapon rather than a way to avoid conflict! New features include the “Mark and Execute” feature that allows you to star in your own action movie, as well as character interrogation, crowd-blending options and much more.

The game is expected to hit the market this February, so keep an eye on Amazon and PlayAsia to get it!

06-moh6. Medal of Honor
A reboot of the series, Medal of Honor might become a true alternative for Call of Duty fans, especially for those who were disappointed by the second Modern Warfare title released in 2009. The new Medal of Honor will be set in a modern-day Afganistan and tons of great features are expected to be packed in by Electronic Arts. This really is a game to follow in the next few months and see if it indeed rises to the expected greatness!

You can already pre-order the game from Amazon.com and Play Asia.

05-me25. Mass Effect 2
Mass Effect 2 will be the first big release of 2010 – coming by the end of January, so we’re going to start playing some really high quality new games quite soon. BioWare’s sequel to the successful Mass Effect RPG promises even more action, improved controls, new alien races and much more, so it’s certainly a hot game of 2010: both for the RPG as well as the FPS lovers.

Both the standard and Collector’s Edition of Mass Effect 2 can be purchased from Amazon

04-bioshock24. BioShock 2
“They call me big poppa,” raps Notorious BIG in one of his songs, and we can certainly have that tune in mind when we play BioShock 2 as a Big Daddy. 2K’s sequel to the amazing survival horror FPS is set ten years after the events in the original game, BioShock 2 will deliver upgradeable weapons, the ability to dual-wield plasmids and weapons, the option to visit the surroundings of Rapture city, as well as the new main threat: the Big Sisters. So start preparing for intense fighting situations and high tension since the game is coming soon, at the beginning of February!

Find out more and place an order for BioShock 2 over at Amazon.com or PlayAsia!

03-fallout3. Fallout: New Vegas
Fallout 3 was Unigamesity’s best game of 2008 and I must admit that I have replayed it four times already. Therefore, I have immense hopes for Fallout: New Vegas – another game set in the Fallout universe (and not a “Fallout 4” or a sequel of any sorts). Either way, even though at the moment all we have to be happy is a name and no solid details, the RPG from Obisdian certainly promises to be one of the biggest PC game releases this year.

At the moment of writing, Fallout: New Vegas can not e pre-ordered.

02-mp32. Max Payne 3
Nobody was really expecting a new Max Payne 3, even though many were hoping that one day the wonder will happen: and this year, probably just in time for the Winter holidays, we’ll have a new Max Payne game in our hands: the third in the series will give us an older and meaner Max (the game is set 12 years after the events in MP2), but one that still can handle the gun(s) and still gets double crossed. And, yes, still manages to find a way out, with our help!

Keep your eyes on Amazon.com or PlayAsia for the best offer for Max Payne 3!

01-sc21. StarCraft II
Many were hoping to get the game last year, but it didn’t happen. This year, however, will be the one when StarCraft II will see daylight under the full name of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty. Sequel to one of the most popular real time strategy games in the world (if not THE most popular), Blizzard’s game promises to deliver even more Terran, Zerg and Protoss greatness and most likely endless nights of playing. When the game will be released, we’ll only be allowed to play the Terran campaign as human mercenaries, but soon after we’ll receive the Zerg campaign with RPG elements and finally the Protoss campaign will bring in diplomacy options. But what am I talking about – you already know all of these, right?

Place your order for StarCraft II on Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty right now to make sure that you’ll get to play the game as soon as it hits the store shelves!

And these are the ten hottest PC games to be released in 2010. Huge names, as you can see for yourself, but unfortunately just two of these titles are original IPs, the rest being either sequels, spin-offs or reboots – showing us all that indeed we’re more tempted to go for an established product rather than getting too excited for a new one.

So… which of these hot PC games are on your most wanted list and which ones did I miss?

    Battlefield Bad Company 2 will bring down the house in March and make MW2 multi very boring. (as did everything in the Battlefield series)

    This list is wrong. Like “in my sight” says, Bad Company 2 will be the King of 2010. Only a few titles might surpass it. It is going to be a COD killer.

Top Fighting Games on Android

Published

Fighting Games on Android

Fighting games have been a major sub-genre of the industry since the dawn of gaming. While the original fist-fighting game came out in 1976, the genre arguably peaked in the 1980s. Dozens of franchises came smashing down arcades, from Mortal Kombat to Tekken.

But gamers do not need to visit the local gaming center anymore to get in on the action, as platform fighters and hand-to-hand combat have long gone mobile. So, are you up for a brawl? Whether you’re into brutal MMA fights or formidable superhero battles, let’s round up some of the best fighting games to play on Android.

Marvel Contest of Champions

While movies and comic books are still at the core of its extended universe, Marvel has also expanded to the gaming medium. Much to mobile gamers’ dismay, though, exhilarating brawler games like Marvel’s Avengers and massive crossovers like Marvel vs. Capcom never made it to smartphones. But Marvel Contest of Champions is more than epic enough to make up for it.

Developed by Kabam, this versus-fighting action game features a pretty strong line-up comprising virtually every Marvel character in the book. Beloved heroes like Wolverine, Spider-Man, and Hulk are all set for battle throughout iconic Marvel locations, such as Asgard, Stark Tower, and Wakanda. Yet players may as well pick supervillains to pit against the good guys. So, assemble the strongest super-heroic team and combine each champion’s unique set of devastating attacks and special abilities. Better yet, this mobile Marvel game allows for competitive multiplayer fighting.

Skullgirls: Fighting RPG

Skullgirls is a solid contender for best mobile fighting game out there. This fighting RPG by Autumn Games has got some incredibly responsive battle animations going for it, and just enough grind to keep players engaged for hours on end. Fun special moves and combos take fast-paced combat to the next level, serviced by colorful background visuals and a jazzy soundtrack that may feel out of place but gives the game that much more flavor.

And all kicking and pummeling aside, Skullgirls has much in the way of the story, too. In an original twist on the genre, this 2D RPG features an all-female cast of quirky yet fierce hand-animated characters. Players may even customize their fighter while searching for the elusive Skullgirl and stopping her from destroying the city of New Meridian.

Mortal Kombat

Alongside Capcom’s Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat is probably the best-known fighting franchise in the world. The series stemmed from the idea of making a video game starring action movie superstar Jean-Claude Van Damme. Funnily enough, JCVD would eventually play center stage in the live-action adaptation of Street Fighter. Still, Mortal Kombat spawned countless installations, TV series, and feature films.

And gamers can now experience the visceral fighting and trademark Fatalities that made the franchise so infamous straight on mobile. Mortal Kombat shows off a whopping roster of over 130 warriors, who level up through challenges of increasing difficulty. Teaming up fighters with matching synergies, mobile players can tackle ferocious enemies in online competitive mode or all on their own. This mobile version of the legendary game also includes a card collection feature.

EA Sports UFC

The intensity of the Octagon translates superbly to the gaming medium. Released by Electronic Arts on multiple platforms, EA Sports UFC quickly became the go-to title for gamers with a knack for mixed martial arts. And the mobile version doesn’t disappoint, pitting up to 97 UFC fighters against one another in heated fashion – and even martial arts legend Bruce Lee as an unlockable bonus. EA Sports UFC may thus be the perfect mobile game to dive into while waiting for the next big superstar comeback.

Meanwhile, prominent fighters like Valentina Shevchenko and Nikita Krylov will keep fans on the edge of their seats in upcoming UFC events. And MMA enthusiasts can even spruce up the experience with a gamble. Reviewers like SBO have laid down the most profitable online bookies for punters to explore. The best sportsbooks offer a range of betting options on MMA, ranging from method of victory to total rounds. Lofty bonuses and welcome packages also await newcomers. And online punters can make bank out of even more sports, from the ultra-popular to the niche.

Fighting games are as old as time. But with improved gameplay and ever-so-striking aesthetics, they’ve remained fresh throughout the decades. And players can now get their fists to do the talking on mobile, from retro titles to inventive entries.

What to Expect from Gaming and Online Casinos in the Next 10 Years

Published

on

Cards,Mouse,Coins and dice.

The 21st century has been a great time for gaming and online casinos. We’ve seen explosive growth in both sectors, with new technologies and platforms emerging constantly. The following 10 years promise to be even more exciting, as we’ll see even more innovation and growth in the gaming industry, as well as the online gambling industry.

In this blog post, we’ll look at some of the trends that we think will shape the next decade of gaming and online casino development. So whether you’re a casual player or a hardcore gambler, read on to find out what the next 10 years have in store for you!

The increasing popularity of online casinos and gaming

With many people stuck at home, they turned to digital platforms for entertainment, including gaming and slots sites. As a result, these sectors have seen explosive growth over the past few years. With the increasing popularity of technology, games have moved from physical pieces to digital pixelated ones, allowing for even more immersive and engaging gaming experiences.

With the online world ever-growing, it was only a matter of time before gambling followed suit. Nowadays, casinos are looking for ways to pull in more business through rewarding online slots promotions, as opposed to the regular operations in brick-and-mortar casinos. In addition, advancements in technology have allowed for the development of online slots, poker rooms, and other casino games that are not only secure and safe to play but also offer a level of quality that is comparable to land-based casinos.

Although we have made a lot of progress, especially with online casinos and online slots games, there is still more to come. Here are some of the changes we predict for this billion-dollar online casino industry in the next ten years:

The increasing legalization of online casinos globally

As online gaming becomes more and more popular, we are seeing an increased push for the legalization of online gambling in countries all around the world. With more people playing on digital platforms and experiencing the benefits of online casinos, governments are recognizing this trend and moving towards changing laws to allow for wider access to these online gambling sites.

For example, in the United States, more states are beginning to implement legal gambling solutions due to the US federal government softening its regulations. And this trend will likely continue in the coming years, as more countries begin to recognize the benefits of legalizing online casinos which include increased tax revenues and a better way to regulate gambling in the digital age.

Virtual reality gaming

With the rise of virtual reality technology, we can expect to see casinos offer more immersive gaming experiences. Players will be able to experience realistic casino environments and games through VR headsets, allowing for an even more realistic gaming experience. Game developers are constantly releasing new concept games to online casinos, and we can expect these same sorts of fun, attractive experiences to be available in the next few years.

Blockchain Technology for Transparent and Fair Gambling Systems

Another major trend that we will see in online casinos and gaming over the next decade is the use of blockchain technology. With this technology, players can rest assured that they are getting a fair chance to win while enjoying secure transactions and transparent gambling systems. Blockchain technology allows for all casino transactions to be recorded on an open ledger, making it difficult for casinos to manipulate the outcomes of games. As a result, players can enjoy more trust, transparency, and fairness in their online gaming activities.

Casino

Game development

When visiting an online casino, it is essential to find an operator that provides a good variety of games. For instance, slots games are very popular in the digital environment, finding a provider with a good variety of slots games will chance your experience. You could find different slots themes and choose the slot game you like the most. In the next ten years, we could be expecting new games integration with better graphics, creative and fun. Game developers will have a higher demand and they will be providing cool slots themes and other casino games.

Top of the line Live Dealer Games

Finally, we will also see more sophisticated live dealer games in online casinos and gaming over the next decade. With the rise of 4K and 5K resolution cameras, online casino providers have been able to offer gamers a much more realistic viewing experience.

These live dealer games can be streamed from various locations, allowing more people to join and play different types of online games. With a more advanced streaming quality, players can now interact with real dealers in real time and enjoy a variety of table games such as roulette, slots, blackjack, and baccarat. With so many exciting changes coming our way, we can look forward to even more engaging gaming experiences in the years ahead!

In Summary

Overall, it’s clear that the gaming and online casino industries are undergoing major changes as we look toward the future. Whether you’re an avid gamer or just a casual player, there are exciting developments on the horizon that will shape how we interact with these platforms – and how they affect our daily lives. So if you’re looking for the best possible experiences from the gambling and casino industry, in particular, be sure to keep an eye out for these exciting online casino trends as well as online slots promotions that suit your playing style.
