Wired:In a recent interview with IGN, Sony trotted out that old line about PlayStation Vita: “It’s a marathon, not a sprint. disagree. In this week’s episode of Game|Life Video, I attempt to make the case for why game consoles need to explode out of the gate if they’re going to run a winning race.
Hideo Kojima is widely known as a video games auteur, but what are his best games outside the Metal Gear franchise?
Gary Green said: Today’s review actually comes as a request from a reader who took the time to message me. I’m always happy to listen to requests, and whilst I can’t always accommodate every single one, there are certainly times where I can, especially if it helps readers make an informed decision about where to start with a complex, long-running franchise, and, of course, makes for a fun playthrough for me.
Given the medium's wild diversity, this primer of the essential video games everyone should try is a good place to start.
I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.
Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG
LINK 2 the past
Street Fighter 2
Resident Evil 1
Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.
Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
All thats needed is a price drop, some day that will be understood.

I dont think so miss...
And no doubt this nonsense will be piped through the new IGN App on 360s in the UK. I can see I'm going to have to put a lot of my 360 owner friends in the picture this Christmas.
Sony will drop the price when they can produce it at cheaper costs.. Lookin like nx yr it will happen.. Im sure they dont want to have to pay off early adopters with free games too so they will do it when the time is right.. Vita is worth the money but ppl dont wana spend that much on a portable system & i dont blame em.. Thats a lot of cash but im happy i coughed it up cuz vita is a beautiful machine
"game consoles need to
explode out of the gate if they’re going to run a winning race"
That's a load of nonsense.
The PS3 and 3DS had terrible launches and look at them now.
There are some amazing games coming out soon on the Vita, why the hell do these journalists keep ignoring them?
Ok, so this author is commenting on a business strategy, and is actually claiming that short term gains are more important than long term value?
This, ladies and gents, is why games journalists should probably take a business degree before thinking they're qualified to comment on the games industry. Armchair experts everywhere.
