again? Well it does look good, though.

Bloodmask6132d ago (Edited 6132d ago )

looks good, but that video quality wasn't very high. Hopefully they will release some HD vids.

DJ6132d ago

But nothing on the Xbox really impressed me this E3. I watched the entire video, and the fact that he had to do a 3 minute disclaimer didn't sit well with me. He's trying to do some interesting things with the concept of combat, but it's obviously not coming together well. I think he should just ditch this title and focus on The Room. Now the Room is one of the best things I've ever seen. If you haven't seen the Developer's Conference video of that title, do it now!

BIadestarX6132d ago

I agree that microsoft didnt impressed many people with their show since they focused on titles that we aready know about...
but are you sure you, "hate to say it"? I'm sure you enjoyed it... we all know you DJ..

DARK WITNESS6132d ago

yes DJ, we are all in shock that you were not impressed with the xbox this E3.

None of us would have ever guessed it.....

we were all expecting you to convert to the green side

Hayabusa 1176132d ago

Oh DJ, how could you, of all people, knowing your reputation, as everybody on this site does, not be impressed by Microsoft's conference? It's almost as if you usually are...

JasonPC360PS3Wii6132d ago

Damn DJ everytime you make a comment you end up getting pwned.

That dude talk alot of s!@#. anyway, FF13 will kick FABLE a@@.

Mr VideoGames6132d ago

i will Definetly buy FABLE 2 at full Price when it comes out

psycho3606132d ago

I would prefer version 2 over version 13 of the same rehased weird kids running around, same turn based combat POS game.

unbiased6132d ago

Is this game going to PC? I sure hope it is, then I wont have to get a 360. I wonder if all these PC ports are a good idea because the only reason I not getting a 360 is because Bioshock, lost planet and this game are going PC.

Jdoki6132d ago

You make a good point there unbiased (I dunno who would hit disagree!) I wonder how many PC owners are closet 360 lovers!!

Personally I pick and choose games based on the spec of my PC vs my console(s) and the type of game (i.e. FPS, for control reasons etc), lead development platform and so on.

However I don't normally have a cutting edge PC, so I don't feel I need to feed it with games I can get on 360 just to justify it's cost.

Recently I played GRAW on 360 and PC. I actually prefered the Xbox version, which a couple of years ago I would have gouged my own eye's out for saying I prefer a game of this type on a console!

Then there's something like Overlord. It's obviously a game that fits a console better because of the control method, but I was tempted to get it on PC as it was almost half the price (damn the console tax!!!) and probably would have looked just as good.

Hayabusa 1176132d ago

Remember as well, that Microsft are promoting games for windows, so if you want to stick with PC, it's still good for them.

On the topic of PC conversions, I'm really chuffed that PC Gears is getting all that extra crap, and all we get are a couple of rubbish maps. I'm definately going mail that disc back to Epic in two distinct pieces when Halo 3 comes out.

The 7 Best Xbox 360 Games - Console Exclusives Win the Day

The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?

DrDoomer145d ago

I'm pretty used to these lists being bad, but this one is particularly s#ite.

raWfodog144d ago

I think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon should have been added to the list.

BrainSyphoned145d ago

I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*

Husker42c145d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb144d ago

Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.

ChasterMies145d ago (Edited 145d ago )

Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.

Abnor_Mal145d ago (Edited 145d ago )

Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.

The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.

darthv72144d ago

360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.

Hofstaderman144d ago

When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....

Profchaos144d ago (Edited 144d ago )

It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.

It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.

BehindTheRows144d ago

They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.

Fable II - A Fantasy Series at Peak Performance

Fable II launched back in 2008 and remains the best the series has offered. Ahead of the series comeback, it's time to look at the classic.

Crows90308d ago

They gotta bring back those gargoyles!

Dudeson308d ago

I'd love to play it again, this time on pc though. Forever waiting on that pc port.

GaboonViper308d ago

Loved this game, oh and i always saved my dog at the end, hope the new Fable has a animal companion.

got_dam308d ago

Fable 2 was the best inthe series. Peter waaaaaaay over promised with fable 1 and it was good but disappointing. He didn't go crazy eith hype for the second game and it was surprisingly awesome. Then he ran his mouth promoting 3 and it was the worst of the 3.

cthulhucultist308d ago

Funny story: Fable 3 had a funny way of keeping the promises you made in the first half of the game and having enough money to defeat the darkness.

You only had to collect enough money to buy 2 stores in a busy market district. You then raise the prices to maximum and you turn xbox 360 internal clock 99 or more years ahead.

The next time you load the game, all the rents from the 99 years are collected immediately.

But yes I agree that 3 was the weakest of the three.

Demetrius307d ago

I only got to play it once 😩 I'm so tempted to buy a Xbox 360 slim but planning on getting the series x soon since I got a PS5 in February Im ready to get saints row 1&2 back, GTA 4, fable 2, but I also want to play infamous 1&2 again Sony screwed us over with the stream only for saints row 2 and other gems smh

Dragon Quest 11 isn't even the best Dragon Quest game, it's a good game, but not the best. Dragon Quest 8 is superior to it in almost every way.

thorstein883d ago

...and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4....

I am biased.

Hofstaderman884d ago (Edited 884d ago )

OK let's end this, in order
Xenogears
Final Fantasy 8
Final Fantasy 7
Final Fantasy 9
Final Fantasy 6
Chrono Trigger
Legend of Dragoon
Breath of Fire 4
Breath of Fire 3
Dragon Quest 8
Dragon Quest 11
Vagrant Story
Saga Frontier 2
Chrono Cross
Suikoden 2
Suikoden
Threads of Fate
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy XII
Lunar 2

Jiub884d ago

Sometimes I forget how much of a powerhouse the PS1 was

MadLad884d ago

I don't play too many jrpgs, and I'm trying to diversify a bit.

Outside of FF and Dragon Quest, what two games from that list do you most recommend someone trying? Doesn't matter if it's a sequel to another game or not.

Jiub884d ago

IMO: Chrono Trigger and Suikoden II

thorstein883d ago

Octopath Traveler is really good.

BlaqMagiq1883d ago

You have Threads of Fate on there which means you get my ultimate respect. Underrated and overlooked.

Exvalos883d ago

Man your dang near spot on absolute spot on choices

Epicor883d ago

I like your top 6 a lot. I don't have the same orders but all those games would make my top 10 RPG list most likely. Number 1 for me is FFIX. It holds a special place in my heart and imo it's the perfect Final Fantasy game.

In addition I would give special mention to some western RPG's as well: Skyrim and Mass Effect 2 were iconic games. Out of JRPG's I'd like to add Disgaea 2 on that list.

MadLad884d ago (Edited 884d ago )

Some of my personal favorites are Planescape: Torment, New Vegas, Morrowind, Kotor 2, Wasteland 3, Witcher 2, Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, Deus Ex, Disco Elysium and Vampyr.

As far as jrpg, while I'm not as big a fan as I am for Western RPGs, I love Persona 3 - 5, Dragon Quest 8 and 11, Rogue Galaxy, Final Fantast 6,7, and 12; and Lost Odyssey.

LoveSpuds883d ago (Edited 883d ago )

Some quality taste in games there squire.

I'd add some Baldurs Gate 2 and Neverwinter Nights from back in the day too.

MadLad883d ago

Should have added BG2. Played through it many times over the years.

Never could get into Neverwinter Nights though. Not sure why.

Omegasyde883d ago

Loved rouge galaxy. Fav game from Level 5.

ManMarmalade884d ago

Legend of Dragoon #1 game of all time for me
