Publishers are rushing to get the following finished before the annual summer games drought:

Street Fighter x Tekken
(First ever Tekken game on PC. Must buy for fighter fans).

Resident Evil ORC
(Left 4 Dead style SP & Co-Op squad FPS set in & around some of the iconic locations from Resident Evil2 + 3 but now obviously in a 3 D map).

Diablo 3
(probably the highest selling PC game in 2012 by far. Will it sell lots of extra PC hardware as well I wonder!)

Max Payne 3
(DX11 support confirmed using the RAGE engine that powered GTA-IV lets hope they optimised it a little this time).

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Solder
(looks interesting could be hit or miss though).

Dirt Showdown
(not a game I would personally buy or play as Codemasters are up to their usual recycle everything but the kitchen sink tactics here!).


After this little lot there is little of note coming out until September as the summer slump is as usual being used as a dumping ground for the lesser games although I hope to see Alan Wake American Nightmares on Steam in late summer but who knows what else is coming out & not yet announced as a digital only title.
 
Only one I will be considering is max payne, and even then I shall await reviews o see if they fixed the utterly dodgy engine, or if they are just relying on everyone have gfx cards three generations newer and thus extra inherent grunt.
 
Probably not an expensive month for me, only one I am slightly bothered about is Diablo.

Plus it will probably be nice weather as well, so I will be playing less anyway. I might be semi-interested in Resident Evil as well actually.
 
Is Street Fighter X Tekken more of a street fighter game or tekken?

If its street fighter then its Diablo only for me too.
 
Just D3 and MP for me ill see how TC is when its released! if its good ill buy it but ill wait for reviews!
 
Why has PC games gone downhill? I still enjoy pc games as it was 10 years ago.

I got a xbox/ps3 and I use it for media streaming.


Are you going to get these games? How much time do you actually have? I can't see myself playing all these games.

The only game I looking forward for is Diablo 3.
 
Street Fighter V Tekken- how is this genre still alive? Who cares about memorising tens of 20 string button combinations?:p

Ghost Recon SHOULD be a A* release, but from the videos looks like it was dumbed down like the last of Splinter Cells and R6 after going Vegas.
Same with Max Payne.

The rest I do not care about one bit:)
 
None of these games i will bother with. Only game i want is hitman! .. Can't see what people like about games like diablo tbh, hate them with a passion.
