i'd have switched the order around a bit (max payne not as high) and axed jak and daxter for fez.

mikebrown79054296d ago

Nice list. Tales from Space is definitely underrated!

BringingTheThunder4295d ago

its better than most vita games out now

admiralvic4295d ago

Tales from space is fun, but there are plenty of better titles for the Vita. Sure it might beat Resistance Burning Skies, but is that really saying much?

Relientk774295d ago

Good list. I would add Tales of Graces f to it

Criminal4295d ago

My pick would have to be Mass Effect 3 or Journey, well both.

NovusTerminus4295d ago

None of my top five are on there...

I would say, in no order.
The Darkness II
Dragon's Dogma
Gravity Rush
Diablo III
Ninja Gaiden III (Yeah, I know, here come the insults.)

TrendyGamers4295d ago

Will you be picking up Ninja Gaiden on the Wii U (assuming you buy one)?

NovusTerminus4295d ago

I am unsure right now, I will get a Wii U, when I can get the money, trying to get a good guitar right now.

I might pick it up for the Wii U, I do think NG3 was missing content, and Razor's Edge seems to be fixing the fans complaints.

BringingTheThunder4295d ago (Edited 4295d ago )

you might be the only person who liked ninja gaiden 3

I would have liked to have seen The Darkness II on the list as well. That was a damn fine game.

He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.

Best JRPG series of the last 5 years imo

repsahj208d ago

I agree 100%. My top JRPG so far, together with Baldurs Gate 3 and FF16.

autobotdan208d ago (Edited 208d ago )

There is no together at the top. There is only one top jrpg series. Xenoblade Chronicles series is alone at the top

raWfodog208d ago (Edited 208d ago )

I like the Xenoblades series but my ‘top’ series would be either the Trails series or Persona series. Just too many good games for me to just pick one series though, so I say play them all lol.

autobotdan207d ago

You are hereby excommunicated the church of Xenoblade Chronocology

CappyBlack207d ago

I'm not huge into JRPGs, but my favorite is easily the Persona series. It's all opinion though. Xenoblade is a great series.

repsahj208d ago

XC4 for Switch 2 for the win!! So excited!

phoenixwing207d ago

Also they might port over xenoblade x to the switch 2

Tetsuya Takahashi Wants The Next Xenoblade To Be Vastly Different From Previous Games

Tetsuya Takahashi has revealed his plan to make the next Xenoblade vastly different from previous games.

GotGame818238d ago (Edited 238d ago )

I liked the Xenoblade X formula. It takes awhile, but opening up Mechs was amazing. Especially once you can fly them, and use them in battle. You have to put some time into the game to do it, but it's worth it!

Also, the graphics were more realistic than the other games. Still looks good today, just a lot more pop-in than is acceptable today, hell even too much for back then. It wasn't game breaking though.

gleepot207d ago

Xenoblade 1-3 and X are so great. That said, I'm ready for them to do a big change up.
