Nice list, but I have few issues with it:

1- How can Castlevania Judgement be on both "Biggest Disappointment" and "Game That We Knew Would Suck" categories, how can you be disappointed with it if you knew it would suck?

2- Fallout 3 hasn't made a new genre, it's basically is Oblivion with deferent settings.

heroicjanitor6352d ago (Edited 6352d ago )

Why is left 4 dead down as a 360 exclusive and it isn't mentioned on the pc?

"Game That Was Supposed To Be Good But Is Not" list is different from the "Biggest Disappointment" list. The categories seem pretty similar.

Naruto wasn't bad, Path of the Furon wasn't exclusive(here in Europe anyway) and the comment about anything based on existing ips(refer to earlier naruto feelings)

Other than those great list!

SinnedNogara6351d ago (Edited 6351d ago )

The difference between Biggest Disappointment and Games we Knew That Would Suck is different. Biggest Disappointment are games that we though "Just Maybe, this could be good" but they weren't. Games that We Knew Would Suck are games that made us think "OMG!! This will suck". I hate licensed games, and Path of the Furon was a exclusive in the United States, and I live here. I wish I remembered to add more stuff like Best Character, and Worst Character. I should add this huh?

SinnedNogara6351d ago (Edited 6351d ago )

Here is some new stuff:
Best New Character: Daedelus (Resistance 2)
Best Weapon of 2008: Splicer (Resistance 2)
Worst Opening Sequence: Haze
Worst Uwe Boll Movie: All of them

SinnedNogara6351d ago

Castlevania Judgement was on both categories because we were skeptical. On one hand, we thought that it would suck because it was a Castlevania 3D fighting game. On the other hand, it looked really good and could have been done right especially after the fact that Konami just released MGS4 months earlier and they could have had a role their. And that Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia was awesome. So it was a maybe, but it sucked otherwise.

I'd agree with nearly everything pal.

Is Dissidia out for the PSP yet? Did you mean Crisis Core?

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

dveio15d 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.

Jingsing15d 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.

Tanktopmaster9215d ago

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

S2Killinit15d ago

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

Jingsing15d 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.

Tanktopmaster9215d 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
