Glad to see Zelda up there in the top 3..

-Mezzo-5048d ago

Can't argue Zelda deserves to be there. Got Infamous 2 right though i would swap Mortal Kombat with Killzone 3, it's criminal to rate that game that down on the list.

demonddel5048d ago

how you know was you there im sure they was

Krimmson5048d ago

GameInformer always (and I mean ALWAYS) go crazy for Mortal Kombat. Seeing it so high up isn't surprising not only because the game seems to be making a huge comeback, but also because GI just love Mortal Kombat.

They even gave Deception a 9.5! That game was barely even passable in my opinion and GI gave it a 9.5!

Forbidden_Darkness5048d ago (Edited 5048d ago )

Yeah, zelda is awesome, they just didnt have a good showing at E3 is all.

Homefront? Honestly? Wow...

Bulletstorm #6, what the f&$% are they smoking?

BuIIetproofish_5048d ago

Really? You're saying the E3 demo(all we've seen) wasn't that great but the game is? Sure is blind fanboy in here. I'm not saying the game will be bad, its just people like this that make me unable to stand Nintendo anymore.

Imperator5048d ago

Bulletstorm looked like a lot of fun. Definitely one of the highlights of E3.

Forbidden_Darkness5048d ago

@Bulletproofish: All zelda games have turned out and thats what i expect from Skyward Sword and nothing less. So far Nintendo hasn't let us down.

Are you calling me a Nintendo fanboy? Because if you look at past comments, im a PS3 fanboy and i don't even own a Wii anymore. I've loved ever Zelda game i've played, but it is one of a very few franchises that i play on Nintendo systems

NecrumSlavery5048d ago

The last truly great Zelda game was Wind Waker. Skyward Sword wasn't graphically nice by any means, no unique art style at all. The controls weren't working, and it just looked average. Zelda games always took risks and creative direction, but any more...I dunno.

Sequels in the top 10 is showing a lack of interst in new ips. Bulletstorm is only néw ip in top 10? Why is that? It's another shooter. Looks good but, come on people, let's open our minds. Epic Mickey should be up there, it's a fresh new amazing ip with greater thought than most of this list. Can't give free passes to apease the fanbase.

Oh and where is Sorcery?

3. everything else

Kingdom Come5048d ago

Theirs isn't biased due to Fanboyism, and they've played the games. Having played Killzone 2, I can see a lot of people blinded by the graphics that can't see just how generic and unoriginal the gameplay is. GT5 should be great though...

morganfell5048d ago (Edited 5048d ago )

It sounds more like you are talking about Bulletstorm. It's a generic fps title with a few game mechanics tossed in. I like Epic but they are beginning to look like a one trick pony.

And anyone that says KZ2 is generic hasn't played the game and certainly never even investigated the multiplayer.

The idea that if you select a PS3 title as best of show then you are a fanboy is absurd.

Tachyon_Nova5048d ago (Edited 5048d ago )

@ Morgan - I still have no idea what was so original about Killzone 2, can someone explain? It had generic guns, enemies, level design, multiplayer as far as I was concerned, but please explain what set it apart, and don't mention the unrealistically stiff controls, Operation Flashpoint did stiff controls years ago, only there's were realistically so.

OT - What is with rating Kirbys epic yarn 8 places above Fable 3, 21 places above Crysis 2 and 24 places above GT 5. Fail list is Fail.

skwidd5048d ago

"I can see a lot of people blinded by the graphics that can't see just how generic and unoriginal the gameplay is. GT5 should be great though..."

So killzone is generic and GT5 is not? I'm confused :s

iFLOWLIKEWATER5048d ago (Edited 5048d ago )

he test I use for asking if a game is average and generic goes like this. Take a game like Gears and imagine it being multiplat. There isn't a doubt in my mind that it would sell a shitload of copies. Now take a game like Killzone and put it in the same scenario. The game wouldn't sale... It wouldn't even sale the same number that Gears does being exclusive. There isn't anything about that game that speaks...unique or groundbreaking. If you want to throw 3D into the mix, I can point you to Crysis 2, which will also be able to do this.

Anyway, I have this GI issue sitting in front of me. It's a decent list I guess. I don't know why INfamous 2 is so high up there but I guess they saw something with the game to deserve it. I think they're using the same tech they used for their top 200 games issue that came out a while back.

Folezicle5048d ago

Thats beside the point, it's the idea that PSfan09 (who by title is a fan-boy) picks 2 exclusives, and then puts everything else like as if no one cared. Regardless i look forward to Child of Eden, Xcom, Deus Ex, Little Big Planet 2, Gran Tursimo 5, Goldeneye on the Wii, Forza 4 (I like the whole looking around and opening the cars with kinect. Although it would be nicer if you could use the controller to steer, instead of the controller. A nice mix would be the ability to change your view in the car by kinect picking up your head movement and then being able to control the car with the controller) and IloMilo (yes barely anyone knows about what looks like a great game.)

As for Fable III still not sure yet

Pandemic5048d ago

Gran Turismo 5 as #35 on the list?

Should have been in the top 10

demonddel5048d ago

how you know did you play it

Imperator5048d ago

Why exactly is KZ3 so low on that list? This list is really, really weird and messed up.

DelbertGrady5048d ago (Edited 5048d ago )

Perhaps because it's not that impressive to people who are not PS3 fanboys?

Bobbykotickrulesz5048d ago

What's not impressive about it?

What makes Halo:Reach better than Killzone 3? Good luck finding an answer to that question.

MORGiON5048d ago

Thats an easy answer for Soda. It has Halo in the name so its automatically the best.

Tachyon_Nova5048d ago

@ Morgion - So what's so good about Killzone 3? You see how easy it is go turn fanboy arguments back on yourself? Halo is popular because it has a comprehensive multiplayer that is accesible by still with competitive options. It is , for most people, although admittedly not me, a fun game.

Halo is popular for the same reasons as CoD, it has fast passed gameplay which anyone can just jump in and play. It is beyond me why so many people bash Call of Duty. I have spent ~ 150 hours on MW2, and still find it enjoyable, yet after less than 10 hours of KZ2 and UC2 I found myself bored. I can hear your thoughts already, thinking to yourself that I just got owned by the perfect killing machines that are PS3 fanboys, far from it. I went back to UC2 for a short stint the other week, and there is no competitive community what so ever. First game back after 6 months of FPS and racers and I was able to win with ease, same case wit all subsequent rounds.

Sarevok5048d ago (Edited 5048d ago )

@Tachyon_Nova

nice troll skills.

I happen to disagree with you.
Killzone 2's mp was all about team work.
if your team was stupid you're going to lose 1-6 most of the time.

Now whats MW2 like? there is no team work no battle plans nothing! even in team death match your team mates will not help ya at all. they all run off to get the #1 spot at the end of the match.

And that's why I happen to like killzone more then cod.You have to use your head and think not run and gun like rambo or camp for kills.

The Maxx5048d ago (Edited 5048d ago )

@ Imperator

" This list is really, really weird and messed up "
- Tell me about it. Infamous 2 @ 4th....that game should be somewhere between Homefront and Journey.

@ Sarevok

" Killzone 2's mp was all about team work. "

- LOL no it's not. I go in and NOBODY is using Mic's so everyone is just running and gunner the whole time. There is no teamwork and I have won most of my games on teams that had ZERO teamwork. I wouldn't say Halo is all about the team work but Halo has some game modes where teamwork is very important. KZ2 not so much.

Sarevok5048d ago (Edited 5048d ago )

@The Maxx

Your past comments show you to be nothing more then a xbot.

so forgive me if I don't give a crap what you say =D

p.s you don't needs mics you can tell your team mates where to go via tactician.+ if team work does not matter in kz2 could you take me in a 2-1 match?

SuperM5048d ago

Halo Reach multiplayer wasnt shown off at E3 so its multiplayer should have nothing to do with its E3 score. This list certainly has alot of wierd choices like these lists always does. If you were to set up this list after what review scores these games would get then it would look totally different.

Personally im really dissappointed with where they put motorstorm apocalypse on the list. For me that was one of the absolute best games of the show, but unfortunately it didnt get alot of attention. People will get their eyes up for it eventually though. But im gonna be annoyed when i hear people say, "oh when i first saw motorstorm apocalypse i didnt think much of it but now its one of the games im most excited about" That happens to so many games and it always make me facepalm, because the game always looked good. Some people just fail to realize.

Christopher5048d ago

Screw KZ3, why the f*** is The Witcher 2 so low on that list?

The Maxx5046d ago (Edited 5046d ago )

@ Sarevok

"so forgive me if I don't give a crap what you say =D "

Regardless if you give a crap or not of what I say, it doesn't mean that what I say is False. XP

Gt5 deserves alot better than 35

Christopher5048d ago

Nah, it's been at how many E3s so far and still isn't released? People are tired of waiting and are liking the new stuff they've seen more than waiting on the delivery of GT5. At least we now have a release date.

solar5047d ago

Portal 2, another Valve game at the top of another list. cant wait and very disappointed P2 was delayed til next year. :(

Zelda does deserve it. I simply cant wait for this game.

"5. Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood"
Lolwut? Weird list indeed

Tachyon_Nova5048d ago

What's wrong with that? Assassins 2 was an astonishingly good game, I see no reason why brotherhood won't be good. All previews I've seen have praised it. So why doesn't it deserve 5th place?

OutgoingSquall5048d ago

1. The fight lights out ( I really want this game I'm kinda a casual at heart)
2. Little big planet 2
3. Dbz fighting game for the psp

Lord_Doggington5048d ago (Edited 5048d ago )

Killzone 2 allllllll the way down at Twenty...

Johnny_Bravo5048d ago

Killzone 2 isn't on that list.....Killzone 3 is, but even then Fable 3 beat it out by one spot.

Sarevok5048d ago

Fable is trash... I beat the first one like a week ago.

A 5 year old could beat that game!
People were telling me how awesome it is.
Nothing in that game could kill me it was so boring.

If fable 2 and 3 are like 1 I will skip em.

Johnny_Bravo5048d ago

Fable was trash because you found it easy and boring? It must be doing something right to outsell Uncharted 2. I found Uncharted 2 to be very easy and boring, does that make it trash? No, that makes it not the game for me.

Helldivers 2 Dev Wants It To Be Available Worldwide, Restrictions Are From PlayStation & Not Steam

The lack of worldwide availability of Arrowhead Studios' Helldivers 2 on Steam is due to restrictions from PlayStation, not Valve.

To be clear though, Steam does not restrict use of their platform in any country. So, to say that Sony delisted games in Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, and other similar regions is disingenuous. The taliban doesn't allow video games in Afghanistan.

There are many restrictions in many countries. Painting this as a false dichotomy of Sony or Valve ignores all other layers of what is going on.

Just be honest in your journalism about what countries are left out. Those countries should a) have internet access b) allow the game.

There's literally almost 170 countries and mentioned 3, and Taliban banned PUBG only, do you seriously think that these countries that had games all this time, suddenly decided to ban games when Sony wanted to put PSN as a restriction

anast33m ago

Sony would be stupid to let valve run the show. They would be bad at business if they did that.

Why Xbox believes it must cut costs and close studios

Companies, particularly public companies like Microsoft, need to grow.

gold_drake4h ago

i mean its pretty simple, they spent close to 30 billion in acquiring activision, they thought they'd make it bk no problem, and that didnt happen.

its just shit that because of MS's miscalculation alot of people lost their jobs.

Jingsing30m ago

This is exactly what many people said would happen including the CMA and FTC. Lies lies and more lies and they allowed a $69 billion buy out to happen.

gold_drake22m ago

oh yeh it was 70 billion. that was my bad haha even worse.

thesoftware73020m ago(Edited 15m ago)

gold,

You can't be serious, right?

Do you think that MS thought they would make 80bill in a year & Half? They haven't even released titles under MS yet, lol.

But in fact, that A/B revenue is already paying off, look at the last earnings call. That $80 billion is long-term money, my guy, no sane person/company would think they would make that back in any short-term situation, it's a long-term investment.

Let's play silly then. If MS's reason for laying off staff and closing studios was due(which it really was not) to the A/B deal, tell me what Sony's reason was for past studio closures, the recent 900-person layoffs, closing Sony London, shutting down Dreams, and closing Japan Studio? Zipper? Psygnosis? cuts at all their internal studios.

Keep in mind, you are claiming MS's reason is because of the A/B deal; please explain Sony's reason.

Hofstaderman11m ago

You actually still defending them? Sheesh.....

gold_drake10m ago

this is not a sony vs MS debate. dont make it something it isnt.

and of course not, but im pretty sure they thought they'd make more money after the deal. they didnt, and closed off some studios.

its pretty insane to think there is any other reason for the closure of studios in this case.

romulus233m ago(Edited 2m ago)

(It really was) due to the Activision Blizzard deal and the loss of physical sales due to gamepass. You keep bringing up Sony in all your posts about this, stop deflecting and trying to change the topic, this is about MS and what they are doing.

anast31m ago

They are going to use AI for a large portion of the game development process. Upper management need bonuses and the shareholders need more money. So, people will lose their jobs.

Skuletor21m ago

Maybe they were already using AI to make business decisions, which would explain why they closed Hi-Fi Rush's studio, then said they need more games like Hi-Fi Rush not long after that announcement.
