Video Games aren't all the same, there are good ones and there are bad ones. Personally I decide video games into tree main categories : BAD, MEDIOCRE and GOOD and each of them could be subdivided into several groups.
BAD Video Games:
We can define two groups of games in this category:
* Not A Game :
As it is named, its a shame to consider these games as games. I don't think I've played some recent video games in this group, but there are a lot of flash/indie games, old Sega/NES games and low budget that belongs here.
* Not Playable :
Wen I say that a game is not playable it means that there is something wrong in the game. It could be a huge bug, shitty gameplay, some bad ideas, .... . And if you try playing it you will suffer and you will stop playing after 1/1.5 hours. I think that NFS Pro Street, NBA LIVE 07, Driver 3, Driver Parallel Lines, ... belongs here.
MEDIOCRE Video Games:
* Not that Bad:
Usually very disappointing games end up in this group because those games are not bad but so close to be an awful game. The games here simply doesn't feel good no matter how great the idea was behind the game, its just there is something completely wrong. Most of gamers won't finish the game and if you have beaten it, you will realize that you have suffered a lot playing it. List of games in this category: Lost Planet 2, Dante's Inferno, Spiderman 3, True Crime New York City, Iron Man, Just Cause 2, NFS Undercover, Fuel , ..... .
* OK:
An OK game is a playable game that lots of gamers can finish without any problem maybe just a little suffering. Most of the time you feel bored playing it because its either very repetitive or very long and you will stop playing it for a while but after a break form the game you will continue it till you beat it. Games in this group doesn't contain big bugs or bad gameplay (maybe some annoying elements) , their just done in a rush putting more time on it could have made it a good game. I can say Darksiders, X-Men Wolverine, Dakvoid, NFS Carbon, RE5, Pure, ..... are in this group.
GOOD Video Games:
* GOOD:
Its far from being a perfect game but playing it was fun and sure you won't playing it another time cause it will be boring. Good games are to be played once in 90% of the times and you as a gamer might have some remarks concerning the gameplay, presentation, new ideas, .... . some good games: Splinter Cell Conviction, Tekken 6, DiRT2, Alan Wake, Bad Company 2, Bad Company, Borderlands, Assassin's Creed, Tomb Raider Underworld, POPSOT and POPTT .... .
* GREAT:
You have nothing to say about these games they are just awesome. Playing them was Maximum fun and you surely wish to beat it another time but there are some parts in it I hate to replay it. usually beating this game won't take a lot of time because you couldn't stop playing. Bioshock 2 , MW and MW2, GOW and GOW2 , Bayonetta, Crysis, Batman AA, ACII, L4D, Tomb Raider Legend, POPWW, Dead Space, NFSMW, GTA ... belongs here.
* LEGEND:
Now comes the best games. They are not frequent because not everyday game-maker build a perfect game that have perfect story graphics, gameplay. Playing over and over again is a normal thing. Its main character become an icon and the game is considered to be groundbreaking and have a big influence in other games. Legendary games are : SONIC (on sega), Super Mario, Tetris, HL and HL2, Counter-Strike, Bioshock, Doom and Doom 2, Medal of Honor Allied Assault, GTA
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
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.
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.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
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.
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
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Bad Video games, thats money you have wasted on a game you can't be assed with.
Mediocre Video games are average games may or may not have finnished that provided a bit of fun.
Good Video games is the one's you least play a few times or play the MP for a good while.
agree with some of yor choice and you missed alot. loi
