New pc games released in 2011 list

Grayson and Ishi find themselves surrounded by hordes of mutants and flesh eating gangs in an abandoned paradise. They have two objectives: get off the planet alive and get their revenge. Players step into the role of Grayson Hunt complete with an arsenal of over-the-top combat moves and outrageously large guns. The game features a skillshot system that rewards players for inciting mayhem in the most creative way possible.

The more insane the skillshot, the more points players collect to upgrade their character and unlock weapons, which then allow to execute even more creative moves and exaggerated shots. Originally slated for release in , Crysis 2 is the second title in the planned trilogy and the first to make its way onto consoles after the PC exclusive original.

That said, Crytek has already stated that Crysis 2 will be graphically superior on the PC. The developer promises to raise the bar for first-person shooters with impressive visuals courtesy of its own CryEngine 3, support for stereoscopic 3D, and a compelling story penned by sci-fi writer Richard Morgan. Crysis 2 sees the aliens from the first game returning with a full invasion force and determined to wipe out all humanity. In addition, players will also face a mysterious and virulent plague, as well as a crumbling Manhattan that is rapidly being overtaken by fear.

Central to the story will be the nanosuit that appeared on the first game, only this time its powers have been streamlined into two: Power and Stealth. Embrace the revolution, or face losing it all. The choice is yours. By imprisoning all seriously, all of the local supercriminals and finally Bruce Wayne himself, Sharp creates what is arguably the perfect setting for Batman to traipse around doing Batman stuff.

You might start by spawning in the middle of an ocean. It might take a while to craft a steel pickaxe. Progression takes investment, patience, research, and a reliance on the knowledge and efforts on others. These are values that modern convenience and modern media have encouraged us to abandon, videogames included. With every quest-line, every arrow pointing the way, and every pre-established reward we grow just a little bit farther outside of ourselves and buy in just a little bit more to the cultural zeitgeist.

Shadows of the Damned Developer : Grasshopper Manufacture Publisher : EA Platforms : Xbox , PlayStation 3 Third-person shooter Shadows of the Damned is so straightforward in its tongue-in-cheek immaturity, it comes off as entirely natural, making it damn near impossible to not immediately be taken, mesmerized, down the dark and eccentric narrative path it throws in front of you. This is director Suda 51 truly embracing his identity as an auteur; just as Tarantino has seemingly flipped a stylistic switch with his films weighing heavy tracts of his signature dialogue against fleetingly punctuated moments of incredible violence from Death Proof onward , so too is Suda giving us something expected-but-different in Shadows of the Damned.

Those are just symptoms of what makes the game great: its insistent coyness. Dark Souls gives the player almost no direction, forcing us to explore and figure out things on our own, with only cryptic and potentially untrustworthy messages from other real-life players to guide us. Instead of ponderous text or cut-scenes Dark Souls tells its story of degradation by showing instead of telling. Some say Dark Souls treats players with indifference or outright contempt, but in truth it respects us, our abilities and our intelligence more than most other games.

The word no longer has the punch it once had. Solar 2 is an open-world, sandbox game set in an infinite abstract universe. Play constructively: grow your system, nurture life on your planets and attack enemy life in huge space battles.

Play destructively: crash into other objects and cause chaos, use your orbiting objects like wrecking balls, steal planets from other systems. Key features: - Dynamic abstract sandbox universe. Changes and evolves as you do. Drift forever in ambient space bliss. Croteam's Serious Sam 3: BFE is a glorious throwback to the golden age of first-person shooters where men were men, cover was for amateurs and pulling the trigger made things go boom.

You are the Tetrobot: a tiny robot that can drill blocks of matter one by one, collect them, and recycle them into new pieces of 4 blocks. Sand, wood, stone, obsidian, iron, diamond: each matter has its specific behaviour you'll have to use wisely and take advantage of them.

So get ready to use your brain and combine your platforming and puzzle-solving skills in this incredible mashup! Gray Matter is the first adventure game by renowned author Jane Jensen since the release of Gabriel Knight 3: the story mixes eerie goings-on with supernatural events in best Jensen-style. Neurobiologist Dr. David Styles is one of the game's central characters: since losing his wife in a horrible accident some several years ago, he has become a recluse, seldom leaving Dread Hill House, his English country estate.
