The Game System With The Best Launch Titles

Jeff: "Such a lineup invokes the question: which console had the best lineup of release titles–ones that stood as quintessential games throughout their system’s life span?

Before revealing the best, it is necessary to look at the titles for the current generation of game systems—the seventh generation. And, after assessing the launch titles for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360—games that included forgettable titles like Genji: Days of the Blade, Kameo: Elements of Power, and Tony Hawks American Wasteland—it is safe to say that the Seventh Generation of gaming got off to an underwhelming start."

Same, although I wish I hadn't sold like 25 of my games back in the day for a Dreamcast :-( lol...

Mario 64 STILL has yet to be surpassed or beaten.

Developers will copy all these trash game types, but nobody has the balls to try and make a new AMAZING 3D platformer with great music, good visuals, cool art style and tons of content.

Dreamcast hands down for me. Especially the american launch.

I never owned a Dreamcast but some of my friends did and they seemed to have a cultist view on the system. Not that is a bad thing, but you can tell people who enjoyed Dreamcast, REALLY enjoyed their dreamcast. Does yours still work?

Concertoine3892d ago

yes i still buy games for it too! if you ask me the dreamcast and gamecube are prime examples of how to make a console built to last, and make it cheap.
it really is a system that had multiple good games coming out a month at good prices, and the system wasnt around long enough to get bad. it was just 2 years of pure awesome, a great time to be a gamer.

Nostalgia compels me to say my NES. It was the first console to perfectly recreate the arcade experience with Super Mario Bros.
Honorable mention to N64 /Super Mario 64 for ushering in the era of 3D environments, without which gaming wouldnt be what it is today.

However, my favorite launch "title" of all time is Condemned: Criminal Origins, which launched along side the 360. It truly felt next-gen (by leaps and bounds.) Its an amazing experience that still holds up to this day.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
