The Top Games of the Seventh Generation

SuperPhillip Central writes, "In one week the second console of the eighth generation will launch. Now that most of the noteworthy games of this past generation have already released, SuperPhillip Central would like to take the time to make mention of the top games released on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii home gaming consoles. The type of game that makes our list must have one or both of these requirements: 1) It was influential, ground-breaking, or revolutionary, and 2) It was one of the best games released this generation. If for some reason you disagree with a game on this list or wish to add some of your own suggestions for games to add, please leave us a comment below."

"The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword"

Really? I know it came to both gens but I would rather see Twilight Princess in their instead. SS felt like a step back for the franchise and got boring/repetitive after a while. It didn't have that charm other Zelda games did

"Rayman Origins"

Sorry but despite being a good game I wouldn't say it was a top game of this gen. Read Dead Redemption, Oblivion, Ni No Kuni, Mass Effect, Metal Gear Solid 4, Borderlands, Assassins Creed 2

I could go on

kB03974d ago

Rayman Origins was a fantastic Platformer probably one of the best I've ever played (pixel precise)...Also Ni No kuni was charming and fun but NO WHERE NEAR top of the generation...

The only one I don't agree with on the list is wii sports...I saw nothing with it that deserved to put it on the list other than it came withe very console...

Last, Dark souls? really? Why not Demon souls? I felt like Dark souls was a step down in terms of detail, even though the combat felt more refined.

_QQ_3974d ago

Opinions opinions opinions, i could say TLOU,Uncharted,darksouls,or LBP don't belong on the ist either for very valid reasons too. The games he listed are high enough quality and criticaly aclaimed enough for the list to be fair and not have much to complain about for an opinion list.

Its not like he is trying to Claim Beyond two Souls or viva piñata are the best games last gen lol!

gillri3974d ago (Edited 3974d ago )

I much prefered SS to TP

I thought it was TP that felt barren, cold and lifeless whereas SS had that classic Nintendo magic

but yet Mass Effect 2 and Assassins Creed 22 I would agree are top games of the generation

The_KELRaTH3974d ago

I'd go with Wii Sports and Red Dead Redemption as both stand out as very unique and go into the category of UT99, BF1942, Alternate Reality, Cytron Masters, Seven Cities of Gold etc etc etc.
Most other games are just variants of titles past.

iceman13463974d ago (Edited 3974d ago )

THE LAST OF US 15 minutes in, this game had me teary eyed already, that's when I knew "this is going to be something special".

Tontus3974d ago

When picking best games of the generation I think it's best to choose 1 genre defining game from each genre for variety.

e.g.

Open World - Red Dead Redemption
hack n' slash - God of War III
Action-RPG - Mass Effect 2
RPG - Skyrim
FPS - Bioshock
TPS - The Last of Us
Racing sim - Forza Motorsport 4
Racing arcade - PGR4
Side-scrolling platformer - LittleBigPlanet
3D platformer - Super Mario Galaxy

etc.

What a great game this was. Man we could use some more of these...

darthv728h ago

Does this game support cross progression? I still have not beaten the first (I got sidetracked with lots of other games) and Id like to pick up where I left off through this version.

Zeke687h ago

Yes, if you mean PS4 to PS5 to PS5 Pro. Same save can be imported.

Zeke687h ago

To clarify, I played it on PS3 OG version. Imported that save to my PS4 remaster, imported that one to the PS5 remake. Hope that makes it more clear. ;)

Zeke686h ago

@darth72 Oops sorry, my wife you told me the remake DID NOT support old saves. She said I restarted the game and usually she have a great memory. So sorry, it seems I was wrong about the remake! :(

CobraKai4h ago

Sick that your wife actually paid attention to your hobby.

CobraKai4h ago

Sad that this deep into PS5 and not one new ND game has been released.

GTA V player numbers on Steam Deck plummet after online support axed

GTA V's online mode is no longer available on Steam Deck (or Linux in general) and it's causing player numbers to drop rapidly on the charts.

TheNamelessOne1d 9h ago

Rockstar makes pretty questionable decisions anymore.

cammers19951d 2h ago

Valve should ban rockstar from steam.

lucasnooker18h ago

I could never understand why this online mode got so popular, I honestly preferred GTA IVs multiplayer…

The Last of Us Part 1 (Extra/Premium) - September 26
Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain (Premium) - TBA
Dino Crisis (Premium) - TBA

VersusDMC1d 7h ago

Hopefully i get Dino Crisis for free as i bought the original PS1 classic on the PS3(like Sony did with Legend of dragoon) and they don't lock it to the Premium subscription like RE1 Directors cut.

But if i have to buy it again and it's 4.99 or 9.99 i won't lose any sleep rebuying.

jznrpg1d 23h ago (Edited 1d 23h ago )

When they put old games on PS plus they usually have trophies these days. I’m hoping Blood Omen and Dino Crisis also get trophies that would be great

Puty1d 9h ago

Not necessarily. Only first party and handful of 3rd party titles from ps one era have trophies ... So many trophyless games in that bunch.

Scissorman1d 7h ago

We really need a full-blown Dino Crisis remake.

slayernz17h ago

This could them testing the waters! If it gets enough downloads/sales then maybe they will greenlight a remake?

Miraak82 1d 2h ago

I think I bought blood omen on ps3 , hopefully I'll get it for free . Even if I don't I'll still buy it again .. Huge fan of the whole series , hope the remasters do well and reignites the possibility of a new game in the series . I know they just released some graphic novels so hopefully there's more going on with the series . Blood Omen 2 is kind of the weak link in the series but Defiance is definitely a must for a remaster to close out SR 1+2 story. A new Blood Omen as a topdown action rpg in modern graphics and gameplay is my dream and man that opening soul reaver music still slaps till this day
