Geekbomb: Top 10 Games of The (Console) Generation

The past generation of consoles have now dissipated into the wilderness, only to be found by Escape Dead Island and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel later in the year, so to commemorate our fallen brethren (PS3/Xbox 360), I’ve decided to compile my games of the generation. Needless to say that these ten games took an unbelievable amount of time for me to pick, but these are the games that defined me as a gamer, and spoiler alert - all of them are single-player based games. If you know me at all, you’d know that I’m quite the fan of a single-player adventure and I don’t often fall into the cracks of multiplayer, so while I will give an honorable mention to Halo 3, the single-player experience that these games gave me is what I’ll hold with me for years (and hopefully many years) to come.

What do you mean by "(console)" generation. There are generations only on consoles, PC has no generations. How would you define last PC gen and current PC generation???

Visiblemarc3555d ago

What do you mean by 'PC'?

Technically any personal computing device can be considered a PC.

...now you see how annoying it can be to have your point needlessly derailed by semantics?

Strangelover3555d ago

Don't pretend being stupid, you know exactly what I mean

Strangelover3555d ago

We are on a gaming site and the conversation is about gaming machines, don't pretend that you didn't understand the point

masterfox3555d ago

the only I can say TLOU is an experience so superior it can't be found in any other place including PC.

Dynasty20213555d ago (Edited 3555d ago )

So you have 1, maybe 2 exclusives on consoles that will never come to PC, that PC players are ACTUALLY jealous of. Metal Gear Solid 5 is the only other one I can think of, and is arguably the sole reason I have my PS4.

While we PC crowd have the biggest games in the world (such as League of Legends, Star Craft, Counter Strike etc), played by the most people, watched online by the most people, played for to win money, and have more users than the consoles combined.

Sorry but if you're going to be elitist over one game, be prepared to be smashed into the ground by PC users.

masterfox3555d ago

lol! dude so Lol, starcraft and CS are unique/superior experiences ?, sorry dude but you lost me there.

and I'm not a e-sport gamer, is not for me to be hours and hours on a daily basis playing a game.

And tourneys that pays thousands and thousands of dollars with thousands of viewers are on consoles too.

PS3 SSFIV, BlazBlue,
xbone KI
Nintendo SSMB

and also I'm a PC user/gamer too ;)

Well deserved choices at #2 1# !

CaspuR3555d ago

mgs4, skyrim, god of war 3, Heavy rain, bioshock, etc. All missing from the list. I know mgs4 came out pretty early in the console generation so its pretty easy to forget, but seriously as weird as this is to say i think mgs4 is the most underrated game of last gen. Its always getting snubbed in these kind of list.

DarkOcelet3555d ago

While these games all are amazing but where is red dead redemption , gears of war , god of war 3 , heavy rain , bisohock , mass effect , dragon age , honestly last gen had too many beautiful games , 10 games just arent enough :)

Kind of a goody story...

On a serious note, that is why I try activating gift cards asap. It's happened to me where the store didnt scan it right where the card was unusuable. Happened at Wally World.

gigoran819d ago

wait, that place is real? national lampoon wasn't kidding?

Tacoboto18d ago

I just bought two of the MonsterVerse Godzilla movies on 4K - both had digital copies expiring in 2023. Both were actually expired.

I'd be surprised but it's WB, of course they'd actually expire them

Knightofelemia19d ago

Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.

Chocoburger19d ago

Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.

Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.

Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄

Rynxie18d ago

Most likely she wanted to resell a few or most of them. However, it was a too good to be true situation.

Profchaos18d ago

So in short she paid $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.

I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.

Rynxie18d ago

No, most likely to resell. However, she ended up getting screwed.

Asplundh18d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.

The Last Of Us Series Has Remarkable Potential For Spin-Offs

Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."

anast92d ago

They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.

AlterRecs89d ago

I think this is in response to them releasing a remaster for the sequel, a game that didn't need a remaster.

Basically a "why did you put out a remaster no one asked for when you have all there options available"

anast89d ago

They remaster is to put out something quick while they are deving new stuff. I don't get how people can be so static.

AlterRecs88d ago

There's no news about a third game being in production, you're just assuming that they're working on something that they aren't

anast88d ago

When they release the news to start the hype-train, you can give me my props then.

DrDoomer92d ago

I want an alternate timeline spin-off, where part 2 never happened.

CrimsonWing6992d ago

They’ve already done Remasters of 1 and 2… what else is there to Remaster?

AlterRecs89d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6989d ago

That was a Remake. I guess they could do that to 2, but man…. They should wait a couple generations so it can look like a major upgrade.
