Ken Smith:"We're excited to get our hands on a new game whenever there's the slightest amount of buzz around it. Likewise, we're always chomping at the bit to play the latest sequel to a favorite franchise. But if that game fails to live up to expectations, excitement quickly becomes disappointment."
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
I can't express the pain I felt after sliding that pac-man cartridge into my 2600. This was not the pac-man I knew and loved. This game didn't make me want to sell my soul for more quarters. A sad sad day for video gaming everywhere.
Also COD3 made me realize just how badass Infinity Ward was.
They should add Mortal Kombat vs DC. A Fatalitiless and T rated MK. Also, where is Devil May Cry 2? That was insanely disappointing, considering the greatness of the original.
haze was a let down if you thought it was going to be the best fps ever made, other than that i thought it was a awesome game.
and tomorrow never dies! was off the chain! go skiing and shoot people at the same time! i loved that game!
EA really did screw up with Tomorrow.
Red steel had so much potential and promise...it was a let down to find that it didn't live up to the hype.It's main flaw was the fact that dumb ole' ubisoft rushed the title to make the wii launch.Ubi has made nothin' but drivel since..and they continue to make poorly devoloped games.Sad really I used to look at ubisoft as one of the best third parties but after all that's happened ..what with this ..and insulting wii owners and all...I absolutely despise them.
