"I know this may seem a little bit overzealous, and maybe the title is a little misleading, but am I the only one who is tired of watching Nintendo's Wii and DS whore out games that are crap at best? Am I the only one tired of having some of the best franchises being dummy downed to the masses? Maybe it's not their fault, as it is, they are just providing the tools for developers to create content.
When you create a gaming console that is fun, easy to play and directed at everyone and not just the gaming crowd, they have to share some of the blame don't they?
Remember when being a gamer meant something?..."
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

Space opera fans deserve a chance to experience the vastness of Infinite Space, and Sega needs to make up for its mistake.
I still go back to Infinite Space from time to time. Probably the most underrated game I ever played.
O boy,
I hope they are hahahah.
Perhaps then we can go back to a time where "hardcore" meant something else. And you know what "hardcore" definition i'm talking about.
Ever since the PS1, "gaming" became more MAINSTREAM.
Those people, perhaps some of you, were freaking " CASUAL "to the bone. You guys kept playing those games, and now play KZ2 or Gears of War and call yourself " HARDCORE ".
L M A O.
If anything, you people seem more "casual" than hardcore if you consider the extra's you people demand as "gamers".
nope not at all i honestly don't know why people keep saying that?
i mean its not like nintendo is forcing you to only buy some of the more family oriented games on their systems
hardcore games are still coming out ON ALL SYSTEMS
no one is killing anything the so called core will always be there its not going anywhere
Another one? The good scores of Punch Out and The Conduit must be getting the haters in a frenzy lol
Just ignore this site and report it as lame
Just a question, honestly, just trying to catch your drift. I've played the Wii several times, I played DBZ on it, which wasn't that great, I played Wiifit, which was fun at first but then jus plain boring, and then Mario Kart, which was actually a great game.
I don't think "Killing" is the right word,more like "ignoring" core gaming this gen.
