Most of the time, owning a PS3 over an Xbox 360 (or the other way round), doesn’t really matter. Most games are available on both machines – it’s a far cry from playground scraps between Nintendo-owning fans of the fat, moustachioed plumber and Sega-favouring supporters of the speedy blue hedgehog. But every now and then, a new game comes along that makes you throw disdainful looks at the console you’ve chosen and seriously consider opening your wallet again. These are 10 of the best…
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.
Crackdown and Halo 3 are definitely amazing console exclusives
This has got to be the absolute worst list I have seen all year! Wii sports resort? Trials HD? Crackdown? WTF?
Um.. MGS4?? Yea it came out 2 years ago but it still is the best game ever.
Well, whoever wrote this list shouldn't be quitting their day job any time soon.
Agree on Super Mario Galaxy 2, God of War III and Uncharted 2 (though their positions on the list are suspect).
Gears of War 1 isn't exclusive to consoles. Mario Kart Wii shouldn't be there. And Trials HD and Wii Sports Resort? Just no.
And rather than Halo 3, I'd choose the original Halo: CE, but that's not console exclusive. Crackdown? It's good but sorry. I'm surprised games like XenoGears, Vagrant Story, Ocarina of Time, Blast Corps, Eternal Darkness, Kingdom Hearts 2, Metal Gear Solid (all of 'em) didn't make the list...but it's a matter of personal preference.
I do find it odd that not a single Metal Gear was mentioned.
That's the problem with top ten lists like these. Somewhere, you're going to be wrong and leave something worth mentioning...unmentioned.
Gears of war and Trials are available on PC. They aren't exclusive.
