NZ Gamer - While other platforms may have bucked the trend to a certain extent, the Xbox 360 year was packed full of big-budget game releases. As you can see from this list, many of them scored well, too - none more so than our number one, which was the only title to earn a perfect 10 this year and the first since 2010's Red Dead Redemption - our only other 10/10 review.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
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).
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now
I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.
the first one is abit the odd one out but after u finished it, believe it it gets tremendously better and better
I own the PC version of The Witcher 2 and I can say it's awesome. Shame it didn't sell though. It deserves more than a few hundred thousand copies sold across two platforms. I hope we get The Witcher 3 but I doubt it with those poor sales.
"our only other 10/10 review."
Kinda loses credibility considering the amount of 9's and 9.5's though.
My list:
1. Halo 4
2. The Witcher 2
3. Alan Wake's American Nightmare
4. The Walking Dead (managed to play ep1 at a friends place. Banned here)
The first 3 are exclusive (kinda), as while I played quite a few 360 games, none of them were as amazing IMO as these. Darksider 2 and The Darkness 2 were also quite good.
Another slow year for the 360, but the quality of some of the titles made up for it.
A lot of the great games I played last year (2012) were actually titles I had missed previously. So I did not include them.
Fez and Trials: Evolution.
