10 Hottest PC Games Of the Summer
Jun 14, 2012 11:58 AM EDT by Summer’s here which means you can either spend time outside eating slimy hot dogs and getting sun burnt, or you can visit the great indoors and take advantage of your PC’s amazing gaming power. You just need the right software.
Fortunately, you don’t have to try every title on the shelf at Game Stop to find the top titles. From the role playing action of Diablo III to the gun play of Max Payne 3 and the MMO excitement of Tera, we’ve listed ten great games that’ll make you want to skip the beach and the barbecue.
Diablo III (Blizzard Enterntainment)
Despite a first day launch plagued with login and server issues, "Diablo III" has become the fastest selling PC game in history with 3.5 million copies sold in its first 24 hours. The most-anticipated game of the decade, this action RPG brings a satisfying mix of hacking and slashing, character progression and copious loot drops -- the perfect way to beat the summer heat. And with the launch of the in-game real money auction house, users can turn some of that loot into real world coin.

All of these games were released before summer. Isn’t the whole point of a list like this to point out the hottest games about to release through the summer?
And Tera was AWFUL and is already on the verge of going free to play, and even if it was f2p it would still be a completely pointless waste of time considering GW2 and MOP should be releasing this summer.

I see it more of a list of things you should be playing during the summer, not necessarily things that will only be released in summer. Considering some games are scheduled to be released at the very end of summer, wouldn’t it be odd to name them?
I didn’t think TERA was awful at all. Considering it was out in Korea for about a year before coming to the rest of the world, I am surprised at the amount of things in the game that were left unpolished. As far as combat goes, I thought it was definitely exciting and fun, albeit very unforgiving for a Priest to farm. After beating all of the content in the game, including the hard-modes, I was left finding little reason to continue playing the game. The PvP battles were at times fun, but there were way too many situations that pitted 15 or so players up against a mass guild of 50+ people.

Diablo 3 is an awful incomplete game tailored around Blizzard making money through micro-transactions on the AH.
It is truly, the worst title they have ever released, and the title isn’t even worthy of being called Diablo.
