Published on October 31, 2011 by in News
Ok Halloween has passed and November is here, we are basically at the last stretch in terms of major game titles coming out. Here’s a rundown of the top game titles that are scheduled to be released on November 1st, 2011. Or as we all like the call, 7 days until Call of Duty, and Skyrim, basically no other title matters after that.

Developed by Eurocom in the UK. GoldenEye 007: Reloaded is the Xbox 360/Playstation 3 port of the Nintendo Wii shooter, which was itself based on the classic N64 game based on the movie GoldenEye starring Pierce Brosnan as Secret Agent James Bond.

As you can expect, the game boasts improved graphics, framerate and controls (don’t worry Xbox owners, no Kinect support!) Eurocom didn’t try to reinvent anything using controls similar to those of Call of Duty. The PS3 version also comes with Move support.

Metacritic score.

 

Lord of the Rings: Ward in the North (PS3, Xbox360, PC)

This is a a hack-and-slash action-RPG featuring cooperative multiplayer being developed by Snowblind Studios under the Lord of the Rings license. The game draws on both literary and movie influences to tell the story of three warriors fighting in the North of Middle Earth concurrently with the events of the books/movies.

Metacritic score.

NCIS (Xbox 360, PS3 Move, Wii, PC)

NCIS is a 40$ budget title from UbiSoft.  Experience four original NCIS episodes created with the writers of the show, and travel across the USA and around the world to solve complex murder, espionage and terrorist cases as your favorite characters from the hit TV drama.Take on the role of the best NCIS team using the special skill set and field of expertise of each team member. Discover exciting connections between four original cases as you crack each one, and work towards solving the overall investigation. Strange that there’s Move support but no Kinect.

Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception doesn’t break the mold that Naughty Dog built with Uncharted 2. The game is a cross between a cover-based third-person shooter and a platformer with puzzle solving. This time Nathan Drake is on an expedition to find the mythical “Atlantis of the Sands” in the heart of the Arabian Desert.

Just like in the last game, 0nline and co-op gameplay return. Some visual improvements include high resolution 1080pi 3D support for all 23 of you out there with 3D TV’s and glasses.

Metacritic score.
