While most websites are getting together their top [enter random number here] gaming lists of 2011, I decided what better why to usher in a new year then to go over the list of disappointments from the gaming industry for the 2011 year.

We all know it’s coming. EA even confirmed back in early November after Battlefield 3 released, that there will be a Battlefield 4. Now one gamer believes they may have caught a tiny easter egg regarding the next Battlefield while playing the mulitplayer. During a multiplayer round on the Battlefield 3 multiplayer map, Wake Island one gamer caught the numbers “2143″ inscribed on a wall. Could this point to a game following the futuristic ice age set Battlefield 2142 that never made it to consoles? Take a look for yourself. via Eurogamer Tweet This Post Post to Facebook View the full article

Developed by: Arrowhead Game Studios Published by: Paradox Interactive Platforms: PC Players: 1-4 Magicka has come a long way with all of the new updates and DLCs, but aside from the Magicka: Vietnam DLC, they’ve only been robes, items, and levels for the arena and versus modes. Now finally a true addition to the Adventure mode has been released. This isn’t a quick, challenging little map like Magicka: Vietnam either. There are three full chapters with checkpoints, bosses, and cutscenes. All the signature humor is there, with various areas, new and old, to explore. You start with none of your spellbook spells from the main adventure, but a few new ones await, such a…

Developed by: Ubisoft Montreal Published by: Ubisoft Platforms: Xbox 360, PS3, PC (reviewed) Players: 1 offline with 8 player multiplayer It’s that time again, where we sharpen our hidden blades and get ready to brutally assassinate hundreds of inept guards in our quest for the truth.

The formula still holds true, and most of the features from Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood have returned. Main story missions are in Sequences, or chapters, and most of them have bonus objectives to complete for full synchronization (a better score). Almo…

88 miles per hour, a DeLoreon, stolen plutonium, 1.21 gigawatts, and a Flux Capacitor. Those are the things it takes for time travel to be possible. Thanks to Doc Brown we know this and understand it. Sort of. I mean, what the hell is a gigawatt anyway. I guess for the purposes of this review that’s neither here nor there. Just know this going in, Doc is in trouble and it’s up to you to control Marty and figure out what’s going on and save Doc. The game starts in a very familiar way, but with some subtle differences. Einstein is loaded in to the DeLoreon and sent 1 minute in to the future. This is where things that you thought you knew, go off the rails. Once y…

How does 26 Verizon Fios channels on the Xbox 360 sound for starting at $89.99 a month? What if I add that they are throwing in a free one year Gold subscription of Xbox Live and a free copy of Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary? Didn’t think so.

Besides the 26 channels and the high prices, this offer is only available to customers who use Verizon Fios internet and TV services and the 26 channels will be based on the “customer’s TV package”. The unnamed channels will be Kinect enabled meanin…

Citing a development source from Microsoft, Eurogamer is reporting that the next Kinect will be so accurate that it will be able to read lips.
