Aaron Stone writes- "The Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 have been going for almost 8 years now, which is a long life cycle for a console. In this time there have been some truly memorable games that will go down in history as some of the greatest games ever created. We thought it would be a great idea to list our favourite games of the generation and also to hear yours. All you have to do is write in the comments below, what your favourite game of the generation is and why. Over the next few weeks each member of the Throwing Digital Sheep team will be submitting their favourite game of the generation and why, To start things off I thought I would give you mine – so enjoy"
"Dark Souls: Archthrones is like playing a brand new FromSoftware game, and that speaks volumes about just how much good modding can do," says Hanzala from eXputer.
Parrying has been creeping into more games, with almost every high-profile title of the last few years featuring it in some way. Why?
i understand the authors frustration i'm not the best at parrying in games. not that i can't complete a game that requires it but it is a definite harder thing for me than other kinds of techniques in games. which might be the main reason it's so heavily added in games nowadays. want to make your game challenging without having to do a lot of work? just add a parry boss. (what i mean by parry boss is a boss you have to beat by parrying such that their attacks will kill you otherwise)
I always think it's fine as long as such games also have the roll/dodge panic button. But I understand the will to parry, it seems so cinematic in a fight when you pull it off.
