Looking back at the 360/PS3 generation, there are a great many things that stand out as definitive. There were PR drives and overhyped campaigns; there were all-time great games and titles that should never have been released. But when it comes down to it, really, there’s one issue that really, truly defined the whole console generation:
The Red Ring of Death.
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

and countless other games is how I will remember this gen. Not Nintendo, Sony or Ms and the mistakes they made.
The journalist who wrote this is the problem with gaming today. I don't like MS but this article is garbage. I just played a generation of games and this is what I'll remember. Games. Like the site I guess they played zero games.
Pointless article.
I'll remember it as Warhawk,
Warhawk, Warhawk and more Warhawk.
The games of 2007 will be how I'll remember last gen. So many amazing great franchises started that year it's crazy.
