PC games knee deep in action right now

October 25th, 2011

I've said this before, but I really like seeing a liberal helping of action games on PC. Like right now. 

Battlefield 3, out now, is the real deal. In a word, intense — perhaps the first true "next-generation" game I've played recently, both in terms of new gameplay and level-up presentation. 

Hot on its heels: Batman: Arkham City, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Saint's Row The Third, and Modern Warfare 3 all within the next 30 days, all of which have previewed strongly. And not just the "we'll see and keep our fingers crossed" kind of previews, but legitimate and well-documented early praise.

Other action games are on the horizon as well. Those are just the big dogs. 

What do you think of the recent influx of PC action games? Excited? Or "needs more StarCraft"?

Definitely picking up Skyrim and Saint's Row The Third.
As far as the "influx of PC action games" is concerned, I'm ecstatic.
I don't have the patience for RTS any more.

Yeah Skyrim is getting me excited, I actually got my old Oblivion CD and loaded it up to warm up!

Hopefully Skyrim won't be a let down and I doubt it will because they seem to have been working on it for years now. Here's to hoping for a great game to add to the great library that TES is.

Can't wait for Skyrim. Now if Eidos Canada would get off their A$$es and actually push out a date for T4 I'd be able to sleep at night

My boyfriend gave me an ultimatum, gaming...or him. I wonder what he's up to these days...

Battlefield 3 is going to blow COD out of the water, as it always has, especially considering COD has released the same game now 4 times over. That being said, I'm definitely excited for the release of Arkham City, BF3, Elder Scrolls IV and Mass Effect 3. This looks to be a good gaming season.
