2011 was an interesting year for exclusives. All three lists are dominated by PSN, XBLA and WiiWare titles, but each system had at least a couple of true triple A retail exclusives.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."
3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best
Activision and Raven Software's 2006 action role-playing game, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, has found its way to the Xbox Store.
Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem
I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.
Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.
Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
Here we go again...
The downloadable games have really saved MS for the past 2 years. It's been the only real bright spot on an otherwise terrible 2 years for the 360.
If I were to pinpoint where things went wrong, it would have to be fan reaction for E3 2010. The overwhelming support for MS's terrible E3 was absurd. Flash forward to E3 2011, and you still have people defending a console that has all but given up trying to please the diehard defenders. The sooner gamers stop defending mediocrity, the sooner MS will pick up the ball it dropped in 2009 and get back to pumping out solid exclusives. A few million XBL cancellations should do it, but gamers are weak. That will never happen.
This year was a lot better overall for 360 gamers thanks to the insane amount of multi-platform titles, but good luck with that next year. You can't depend on multiplats every year and MS has nothing in the tank aside from Halo 6.
As for the Wii, They were in a great position to have the Wii live on past the launch of the WiiU, but with a year like this...probably not. You can't hit a homerun in 2010 with a bunch of Epic Mickeys and DKCRs, then fall flat with only 2 major releases in an entire year. Shame on you Nintendo.
I think Sony more than met everyones expectations. Another phenominal year for Sony with a year like 2011, it's hard to imagine them doing any better for 2012...then they announce a brand new IP from ND, a Jak collections which surely means there's a new Jak in the works, Starhawk, TLG....2012 will probably end up like 2011. 2011 was an awesome year for PS3, even with the external interference and non-stop media hate. Sony may not have franchises with 25 year anniverseries or a huge advertising deal with Disney and Pepsi, but they do have a s***load of inhouse devs that know that a console is only as good as the games it plays.
I don't understand, and I face palm so hard, when the press just refuses to ACCEPT that 360 has had a horrible year in exclusives. The closing comment said: "All three had some great exclusives this year" Really? 360 had 2 exclusives! If they take into consideration the Kinect games there are more, but why does 360 is praised for going casual, but when the PS3 has a casual game is crap?
I hate this double standard that has been going on this generation. I would ignore it completely, but is also affecting developers and what type of games they make. The press has been the worst thing that happened to gaming this generation. They lack consistency and morality.
2006 or 2007 was clearly a 360 year. It had great exclusives and it was clearly a winner. The press praised that and bashed the PS3 to death because of it, but now that the PS3 is clearly the winner (and I would arguer that last year too) they just can'y give credit to it without trying to find a way to make the 360 look good for once (when it clearly wasn't good)?
