Top Games of Gamescom 2010

Crysis 2: Multiplayer modes and special edition packages unveiled at Gamescom – game itself looking pretty good too Photograph: PR Dragon Age 2: Prettier than the first game and more intense too – but will the characters be enjoyable to banter with, as in the original? Photograph: PR Enslaved: Written by and starring Andy “Gollum” Serkis, this action/adventure title could well be a sleeper hit this autumn Photograph: PR Kinectimals: One for the kids, yes, but this Kinect-only animal-raising game could attract older players if done right … and it's very pretty, too Photograph: PR Gran Turismo 5: The classic hardcore driving simulator – this time with damage. And 3D too, if you can afford it Photograph: PR Killzone 3: Shooter now comes with Move-enabled control and 3D visuals – will the core game match up, though? Photograph: PR Star Wars: The Old Republic: Looking very promising indeed and easily the biggest Massively Multiplayer game of 2011. Has World of Warcraft met its match? Photograph: PR Might & Magic Heroes VI: It wouldn’t be a German games event without a fantasy PC game or two – this looks like it could be worth the wait Photograph: PR Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One: Four player Ratchet & Clank sounds fun, but will it match the inventiveness of the classic single-player versions of yesteryear? Photograph: PR Red Faction Battlegrounds: Download-only offering from a franchise that has never quite managed to fulfill the potential of its (mainly) Martian setting Photograph: PR Tron Evolution: Retro futuristic looks – but can the gameplay match up? We’re quietly confident Photograph: PR Dead Space 2: Probably not as scary as the orginal, but expect all the gore from before – this time with added space walking Photograph: PR uDraw GameTablet: And now for a change of pace – this is a drawing peripheral for the Wii. Possibly more exciting for the kids, but may get the mums and dads “drawing” on their Wii too Photograph: PR
