Hi Friends!
Was on hibernation from Gaming for almost 1-and a half year ! So vacations are approaching and I would like to get back to the gaming world.
Many of the old members here would be knowing that I used to play a lot of CoD4 !I guess amrawtanshx,NIGHTMARE,ico,rollercoaster,stalker,quadroplex780,harvik and many others..

So which games have been released over the past year?
Is ICC Cricket '11 worth playing?
Is CoD Black Ops worth playing?

Battlefield Bad Company,
Assassin's Creed 2,
NFS HP,
Dirt 2,
Fallout New Vegas,
Bioshock 2,
Fifa 11,

And a few this year like

Thank you all for your posts.
Well, BlackOps isn't available on Flipkart :(
Any views on online gameplay of NFS HP? Does it have free roaming?
I guess Test Drive Unlimited developers also released its second version. However the first version was very unrealistic - esp. the crashes were annoying! No damage modelling. Hitting a car at 320km/hr only to find they bounce back like tennis balls? :D

Well, ahem, GTA 4 is unsuitable for me. At least for another few years.
Regarding ICC 2011,
It seems like reprogrammed gameplay of EA Cricket 99.

No free roaming. It's like old hot pursuit on adrenaline.
Then I'd better skip this one. I played NFS World and it was quite good :)

Is that from Mindstorm studios?

ICC 2011 is from Mindstorm Studios. I brought this game and it is quite good and far better than EA and Codies. It has too many shots to play as a batsmen, which even includes reverse sweep.

Do not expect the players look alike, as nothing such is there except the players names is licensed. Also there is no commentary in the game. For INR 299.00 and considering the game play (if you like cricket games you would definitely like this) i would say yes to this Cricket game.

Bro, i already wrote a review on << Cricket Revolution >> by same developers and just came to know that it's just revamped version of CR. That is why i asked and i am glad that it is good.

BTW How's the controls? any changes?

Thanks for the link furious_gamer. I have not played the Cricket Revolution, so i cannot comment on the controls.

I am asking about the controls in ICC WC 2011? How's that? Is that controls any good and easier to use?

The controls are not complicated. They are quite easy. You will use the left and right keys to move the batsmen, use up and down arrows to select the direction where you want to hit the ball. Space is used to play the shot.

@Piyush : Well, as compared to FPS Games and other Genres, Racing games are very very less.

For RTS try CNC tiberium wars and kane's wraith. They rocks and are the best from this genre IMO.
