Great list, man.. Great list.

@Why o why - What's wrong with Viva..? =(

jack who6378d ago

Viva Pinata is fun so bite ne

Why o why6378d ago

i play with a sackboy so dont get it twisted. Im just saying calling it great is reaching in my opinion. Its more like an 'in between game' like what psn has like hv bowling or tekken dr than a full price game. The problem there is its way too big for xbl and MS dont have a 'in between game' platform

Smacktard6378d ago

@ jack who:

And with only console exclusives you have... Gears of War 2, Fable 2, and Viva Pinata.

@ PostedUp: I sincerely hope that was a shot at sarcasm. I don't know for sure, because I think this is really what PS3 fans believe.

I think the PS3 has a fairly strong offering. MGS4, Little Big Planet, Valkyria Chronicles, Resistance 2.

The Wii isn't half-bad either, with Brawl, No More Heroes, Boom Blox, Wario Land Shake It, and Mario Kart. 2009 should treat it better though.

PoSTedUP6378d ago

no i am serious and i think vampire rain should be in their also.

Smacktard6378d ago

Okay, phew, now I know you're joking.

UNCyrus6378d ago

Did you even read the article... the majority of the mentioned games were PS3 exclusives. Stop trolling and learn to read

cuz I was once like you. But I was reborn and the realization that the ps3 is superior, is quite clear now that I own one. JOIN ME PP, INTO PS3 REALM! You'll thank me in the end.

No Way6378d ago (Edited 6378d ago )

Hello. =)

callahan096378d ago

Why does everyone ignore the existence of Valkyria Chronicles (and Disgaea 3) when they make these little lists of the best blahblahblah?

UNCyrus6378d ago

I don't ignore Valkyria Chronicles.. I'd had been eyeing that game since it's Japanese release in February. Had it preordered here in the states for a couple of months. That is the sleeper hit of the year for sure.

I'm just shocked that gamespot gave PS3 the time of day in the article, it seems so out of character of them

MIA6378d ago

This is pretty kool, we should send this out to all our loved ones who have no fking clue about gaming and we want this Holiday season!

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio12d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing12d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9212d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit12d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing12d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9212d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
