Top Ten MUST Buy Games of the Fall

Article Excerpt:

"This fall is going to see a glut of fantastic games. What is most impressive is the diversity of genres that are going to produce hits and how rounded out everything is. All consoles are going to be getting system sellers as well, despite some much anticipated games getting pushed back. Here is to hoping you have $600 saved to purchase Hamsterfist's Top Ten Must Buy Games of The Fall."

I disagree with the #1 pick. Other than that, that's a pretty good list. Mines different but close.

ReservoirDog3165333d ago

10. No
9. Don't think so though I'm sure it'll be good
8. I suck at racing games
7. I SUCK at racing games
6. Yes, definitely
5. Don't have XBL so it's kinda worthless, sadly
4. Um, no
3. Yes, 100%
2. Boycott!
1. Um, no

Oh and bubbles for liking Valkyria Chronicles.

umair_s515333d ago

Happy to see Boderlands is getting some attention. Mark my words, this game has a lot of potential.

FamilyGuy5333d ago

The lst failed at the start
"10. The Beatles: Rock Band"

Most gamers aren't 50, there's plenty of other titles that could take that spot.
"Hamsterfist’s Top Ten Must Buy", i disagree with your opinion.

I also disagree with this sites ability to add. Tax excluded they say "$600" but list a psp game that will be $40 and a Wii game that will be $50

Tax excluded, that's $570

Other than that i guess it's an okay list.

Montrealien5333d ago (Edited 5333d ago )

So only people that are 50 like or appreciate the Beatles? I don't think so.

tell that to these guys

http://www.metacritic.com/g...

As for the list, I dont agree with it to much, mine would be in a different order, but he has a right to his opinion.

deadreckoning6665333d ago (Edited 5333d ago )

1. Modern Warfare 2
2. Uncharted 2
3. L4D2

In that order. As far as Beatles: Rock Band, screw it. Lots a people like em but I could care less. I don't see it finding a huge audience. The same people who spend countless hours on XBL or PSN aren't the same people who care about The Beatles.

Montrealien5333d ago

you are right deadreckoning666, however there are many more of them.

SuperM5333d ago

New Super Mario Wii? Since when did this become a sales list. I thought you said must buy list? that is totally ridiculous. And Modern Warfare 2 will outsell new super mario anyway.

Tony P5333d ago

The only game on the list I'm kind of interested in is Borderlands. I could care less about the rest.

Muddyalcapones5333d ago

It's "COULDN'T care less" not "could". If you could care less then you do care to some extent.

edgeofblade5333d ago

I really don't care what the PS3 fanboys want to say. I'd replace Beatles or any of the driving games with ODST.

You masochistic driving sim fans can kiss my buttes.

And where is Heavy Rain? Too non-traditional for you?

aldesko5333d ago

"And where is Heavy Rain? Too non-traditional for you?"

Heavy Rain isn't coming out this Fall as far as I know.

Tony P5333d ago

@muddy:

Said exactly what I meant about the list. So thanks, but no thanks. :)

GameGambits5333d ago

The person who did this article is retarded. He thinks that Super Mario game will outsell all the games on that list. Hate to break it to you but Mario is only on Wii, but MW2 is on 360,ps3,andPC so you are outta luck there. Didn't Modern Warfare 1 sell like 14 million copies up to now or was it even more?

Also, you must not realize that games do NOT sell on the Wii. Furthermore you are saying that game is THE must buy simply because of sales... do you even play games to completion anymore? I doubt it. You look at the sales #'s and deem it good or bad. Get a different hobby or a career, because games aren't a top priority for you.

Oh and to go further you think the majority of users on here have the cash to drop on 10 different games ? You are out of your mind. Even if we did your list is still a joke. It's not even a matter of opinion, but a matter of facts. You'd have to own each console like myself and that's a VERY rare commodity to have. Even people who can afford other consoles sometimes don't simply due to lack of interest or information.

Here's a new list.

Top Ten Games You SHOULD Consider to Buy in 2009:
1) Uncharted 2(Got a ps3? Get it. Want a PS3? Buy it with it.)

2) Borderlands(Tons of praise for this one. Keep an eye on it.)

3) ModernWarfare 2(I won't be buying it day 1. Renting to see if no beta was a good choice by Activision and Infinity Ward)

4) KingdomHearts 358/2 Days(Give your DS some love. The KH series has a big fan following, and if you are part of that following it's a no brainer)

5) Scribblenauts(More love towards you DS if you aren't a KH fan. This game gets tons of praise. Buy it as a gift for a sibling, but secretly play the crap out of it)

6) Gran Turismo PSP(If you like racing then I'd suggest this over Forza 3 to be honest. The developer delivers in spades with this series and doesn't shoot its mouth off to be the best. It just is the best.)

7) Whatever you missed out on(This is an odd year for gaming. Everything we were excited for jumped ship to 2010. Things like Bioshock 2, Bayonetta, and even Splinter Cell ran off. After listing all the new titles above that really show promise from now to the end of December it's here wheen you are this point you want to step back. From late 2008 to now there have been some great games lots of people missed out, and it seems 2009 can be used as a solid catch up year, since 2010 will be flooded from the looks of it. Games I suggest trying out: Dead Space, Fallout 3, Killzone 2, inFAMOUS, Resistance 2, Little Big Planet, and even further back for Metal Gear Solid 4. I know my list is pretty PS3 heavy, but my 360 did play Dead Space and Fallout 3 last year, as well as Fable 2 and Gears of War 2. I don't recommend Fable or Gears to anyone...ever. It's also a good point to try some downloadable games like Fat Princess or Shadow Complex.)

8)Mass Effect 2(I know it comes out in January of 2010, but heck why not just pay it off with some Christmas money. It's worth waiting an extra week or two after Christmas to enjoy this game. Bioware delivers, but do you order?

9)MAG(Just like Mass Effect 2 above it comes out in early January. With a beta later this month a lot of people will get into you'll be able to know if this is as big as most FPS fans want it to be. Youtube videos from the beta now already show a great game coming soon)

10)Assassin's Creed 2(I put this as #10, because we all know the replay value will be small. If you don't want to shell out 60 for it then make sure to at least rent it or get it from a friend ASAP. It's worthy of your time)

Honorable Mentions: Ratchet and Clank Future, Left4Dead2, Brutal Legend, and Halo 3 ODST. These are games I feel a lot of players aren't gaga over, but the fans will be chomping at the bit to get at.

I don't know about you guys, but my list makes a lot more sense than his...

Umm no, he listed what he thinks are the 10 must buys this fall. That is why I stopped reading your longer then needed comment. This internet generation that always needs to be right while stepping on other peoples opinions is really getting bad.

Kamikaze1355333d ago (Edited 5333d ago )

Beatles Rock Band? Wtf...I love the Beatles, but that game is hardly a must have. There are only 40 something tracks in it and it's just a Rock Band expansion. Also, Demon's Souls Halo ODST, WET, and Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 should be somewhere on that list.

Edit:
Oh please, it's not a port. The game was remade using a different engine (the engine used for Sigma), new enemies, new weapons, new bosses, it has online co-op, 3 new characters, expanded story, update graphics, fixed camera issues (supposedly), along with many other tiny improvements. So yeah, it doesn't classify as a port. It's a remake. And yes, I've played the WET demo and it was amazing.

hamsterfist5333d ago

Ninja Gaiden 2 already came out, last year. Sigma is basically just a PS3 port. Why would that make the list? Have you played the WET demo? That is a must rental, no purchase. I will give you Halo ODST though. I forgot that one, but it would of just made the honorable mentions.

callahan095333d ago (Edited 5333d ago )

Sigma 2 is a pretty significant port, though. It runs at a higher resolution at a better and smoother framerate, with an improved camera, and tons of additional content. Not saying it should have replaced any titles on this list, but I do think that saying "it came out last year" is wrong, it's definitely improved enough that if a critic wasn't willing to recommend Ninja Gaiden 2 to people last year, they might just find Sigma 2 improved enough that it's worth recommending this year.

umair_s515333d ago

Its 3 more playable characters, playable. For the love of god, shheesh.

FamilyGuy5333d ago

Yeah, it's far beyond a "port"

SuperM5333d ago

Well id say Left 4 Dead 2 shouldnt be on the list since it looks pretty much the same as the original.

edgeofblade5333d ago

Sigma 2. Really? A half-assed port of a 360 game? A Team Ninja game with the blood nerfed out? Can you really consider that a contender?

Redempteur5333d ago

If you managed to get some info you'll see that there is blood in sigma 2 ...

JUST NOT A HUGE AMOUNT OVER THE TOP OMG TOO MUCH blood .

There is plenty of blood on the floor when you kill ennemies except when killed by ninpos . They actually put the game on par with all the other ninja gaiden since the first one ..So no it's not a nerf but a restoration

callahan095333d ago (Edited 5333d ago )

Really, edgeofblade, half-assed port? Is that what you're going with?

How does increasing and steadying the frame-rate, fixing the wonky camera issues, bumping up the native resolution, adding new playable characters/missions/bosses, and creating a brand-new online co-op mode = half-assed port?

To bad you wont ever see Samus in HD the way they are going

Peter North5333d ago

Most of these games are only HD on the Ps3 with no 54.6% failure rate.

15 Xbox Games That Should Make the Multiplatform Jump

While there’s likely already a list behind closed doors, one can still speculate and offer logical suggestions for titles new and old that should find their way into the PlayStation and Switch libraries.

GamerRN30d ago

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit30d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead30d ago

That’s up to Microsoft they want return on there investment. From buying up those publishers. That’s what there in business for. And they made a mistake putting day one exclusive on game pass. So now Microsoft wants to profit any way they can.its called buisness . Just like Sony putting games on pc a year are two after ps5 launch.
So if they can make money off PlayStation and Nintendo. They will do that. And I bet soon real soon they will release some aaa exclusives .and I bet one day it will be same day release

TheEroica30d ago

Sony gamers begging for Xbox games.... Who would've thunk it?

BISHOP-BRASIL30d ago

Yeah, because random site off the internet represents all Sony gamers, they have the letter of attorney and all...

S2Killinit30d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

We don’t care about shovelwares. Get that junk out of PS5

StormSnooper29d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica28d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer30d ago

Some of these seem to be exclusive for lack of enthusiasm of the publisher rather than because of deals. A lot of cool indies skip ps for some reason like katana zero, el paso, elsewhere and gunbrela

S2Killinit30d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer30d ago

Quality over quantity, Microsoft got some really interesting and curated niche games on their machines, maybe in part because of gamepass

S2Killinit30d ago

Quality and MS are not things you bring up in same sentence.

shinoff218330d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Alot of indies skip xbox to. It goes round and round. Personally I think your off base on that but no need to have the argument.

Friendlygamer30d ago

Between katana zero, valheim, Battletech, el passo... I don't feel off base. maybe ps got a million of light novel games that will never release on Xbox but like I've said, I'm talking about niche games highlights, the 10%.

  Heck, it's probably thanks to Microsoft that the s.t.a.l.k.e.r games came to console ps included, meanwhile Sony backwards compatibility continues to be extremely anemic.

And I'm sure most ps5 users are happy to ignore these games and just play wathever new 3rd person action game is trending but it's cool that Microsoft gives some love to smaller audiences and software preservation

shinoff218330d ago

Again your off base just to be snide. All it's showing though is your ignorance.

One light novels wtf is that even. Ps has plenty of pretty damn good indies.

Speaking of indies and ms being responsible. You know F.I.S.T. of course you do alot of you guys just support gamepass. Well here's a history of Sony being responsible for helping indies. Look up the China project from Sony.

Lastly lol your ignorance showing again. Sony has plenty of games. Personally third person is better then first anyway but that's besides the point. Sony gets so many games that xbox doesn't get because yall don't support the games. Jrpgs being a great example. I personally am not into every Sony first party game. Alot of us aren't. On the other side you don't get to eat often so you gobble up everything. Me personally God of War not my cup, etc. For me I'm into jrpgs and ms just can't touch Sony on those. Again because the Xbox base doesn't support it. Devs dont wanna waste their time or money. Hit me up when falcom develops a game over there.

Speaking of third person narrative games. Aren't yall drooling over hellblade 2. The first one was Sony exclusive at one point. Another not my cup game. Showing we don't have to fall in line and agree we love everything Sony puts out. The facts are they sell though unlike elsewhere(not nintendo)

StormSnooper29d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal30d ago

They really think PlayStation fans would want to play Redfall? Pfft.

Personally nothing on that list would be any game I’d want to play.

TwoPicklesGood30d ago

I’d absolutely love Hellblade 2, Palworld, and Quantum Break on ps5 as I’m sure tons of others would too. There’s nothing wrong with wanting games from another console and its sad that people try to act like they aren’t interested in them.

shinoff218330d ago

While indont agree with the games. I agree with the point. Your not wrong.

DarXyde30d ago

Sunset Overdrive makes very good sense. Palworld might.

Don't know about the others. Hellblade II does make sense given the original launched on PS4 first. Quantum Break was a massive letdown for me. I absolutely hated the whole TV show thing and I don't think anyone should have to relive that on modern hardware.
