Which triple AAA's could you easily live without?
Greg Howson of Guardian Unlimited writes: " I was reading about Unreal Tournament 3 when it finally dawned on me - I really don't care. Do we really need yet another sci-fi shooter with pumped up goons and oversized artillery ? "
" It's not a hatred of FPS or anything like that - Rainbow Six Vegas is a semi-permanent fixture in my 360 - but rather the tediously derivative setting and the assumption that sci-fi is all that matters to gamers. Halo 3 has a similar look but at least the developers Bungie seem to be offering more innovation, especially online, rather than just new ways to kill your opponents. But if there was a choice between Halo 3 and say the hugely promising Alan Wake dropping into my lap this morning there would be no competition - bring on the Wake."
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.
So this guy hates the game but wants it....
HALO 3... it's overhyped and just looks like any other game
i'm not saying killzone 2 is gonna blow it out of the water, that looks like just another FPS too. LAIR will be fun though
lair will be cool, but I love halo because it has such a variety of weapons and vehicles and it all combines to form a great expierence. FINAL FANTASY I CAN DEAL WITHOUT. I HATE taking turns fighting that is the gheyest thing EVAR! Oh ok lets slice this guy and take 8pt health off him and now lets wait till he attacks now lets wait till we attack. F!CK THAT
The Halo series - Was fun for a while but was far too overrated and brought nothing new to the FPS scene.
Gears - Another overrated game IMO, maybe I just sucked at it lol. Didn't really feel this brought anything amazing to the table either, except the graphics. Those were amazing.
GTA - I don't exactly hate this game but it does gfet rather boring after a while, the storylines are so damn forgettable also.
Metroid (3D ones) - I just absolutely hated the transition.
Madden - I'm not American, I don't like this pansys rugby. (Just joking)
It's just never done it for me.
