This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.
I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing
1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.
It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!
I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.
Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.
Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.
Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:
- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2
I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.
Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.
I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.
I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.
But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5
Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.
I think it's kinda weird how VGchartz have been having certain systems ahead by a large amounts for the months lately, their sales have really been off by alot as well. Like March for example, VGChartz had the 360 ahead by 120k, but when the NPD report dropped, it was only ahead of the PS3 by 34k. They also had the PS Vita at 150k for the month of March in the US, but when the NPD report dropped, it actually sold 200-225k.

Edit: Disagrees even with a source. XD
VGChartz is NOT a reliable source.
LOL!!!
This chart is packed full of winning material.
Congratulations to Nintendo and the Nintendo 3DS entertainment system for selling enough units to be honored as the number 1 handheld in the USA. With the Nintendo Wii trugging along at the end of its lifespan still providing the Elite Nintendo gamers with AAA quality exclusives till the end. With Nintendo Wii entertainment system exclusive Xenoblade Chronicles selling a respectable amount. Landing just under starwars for the number 2 position in the top 10. Amazing results for a Japanese rpg in America.
Also with no doubt congratulations to Microsoft and the Xbox 360 for Dominating the charts once again, hardware and software. The 360 Kinect is beginning to flex its muscles and put up great results as expected. Also noted that 6 of the top 10 games on the chart belong to the xbox 360 console. Beautiful attach rates.
Both companies did an amazing job and let's hope the momentum continues into next week. The numbers above show the importance of AAA exclusive titles. Starwars. Xenoblade, and Kid Icarus have done well enough as exclusives to drive that point home. Filling the top 3 positions with purified exclusive greatness. Have a good day and happy gaming.
Rated E For Everyone
Well Kinect Star Wars is selling good and surprisingly it seems to be a bit of a system seller. Looks like people went and bought that new Star Wars themed console to go with the game.
I'll say it before and I'll say it again, Kinect Star Wars is fun, its like a summer action movie, it wont win awards but its still fun.
Most the people who dog it here have never touched a Kinect or the game. Funny how that works.
Anyway, I think people might be a bit jealous because the game is selling so good. Let people like what they want, I mean Raccoon City was panned by critics, but if you listen to the people who actually played it, they like and enjoy the game.
Let people enjoy what they want without being slammed for it.
