There aren't a whole lot of computer games I feel like playing right now. Sure, I can pick up some of my favorites like Fable 2 or Gears of War 2, but I'm ready for something new. Where is it?
Looking at release calendars, I found that none of the games I'm eagerly waiting for is that far off. This helps me feel better about gaming this year; I had been expecting 2009 to be a little dull.
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.
K2- Graphics
Heavy Rain- Story
I ran out of thights ;(
Killzone 2 is a must buy for all ps3 owners that has already been established.
RE5 is for fans of the series (which I am one of them), I don't really see people that have never played RE picking this one up though, hopefully I'm wrong about that.
Punch Out!!!!! damn it I just shipped off my Wii...sold it on Ebay for $400 not bad at all. That is still not a reason for me to repurchase a Wii. I liked my Wii but it just wasn't worth it. The games were too casual (even the games that were considered hardcore), and I fail to see how any games that are coming out are gonna change that factor about the Wii.
I actually think Conduit or Mario Tennis (if it comes out) will be more game defining experiences this year for the Wii than Punch Out, but who knows?? If it includes motion plus then congrats for Wii owners...but I think imma just stick to my PS3...after all killzone 2, street fighter 4, RE5, Uncharted 2, Heavy Rain, COD Modern Warfare 2, and many many more should keep me busy throughout the year =).
