I'm not bashing Fable 2 because I wish I had an xbox360 because of that game but:

This is part of Microsoft's advertising campaign.

Remember: Gears of War on Mtv?
Xbox360 launch on MTV?
Mass Effect on Scifi?
Halo 3 on History Channel?

socomnick6092d ago

And whats your point? A company actually spends money to sell their product ?

I never understood why people get angry at MS's advertising campaigns, I give them credit for selling their game and earning their devs money.

GiantEnemyCrab6092d ago

Yes, MS know how to advertise and the PS3 would probably be doing better and selling more games if they would take a lesson.

I am giving you a bubble because I'm sure that was hard for you to say something nice about the Xbox 360 and all. =)

Bnet3436092d ago

socomnick is right, there is nothing wrong with advertising. How is that bad? It's getting the games coverage and will more likely boost sales.

kewlkat0076091d ago

Do you have a marketing Degree?
Have you ever ran a Company?
Would you know how to sell Lemonade if someone gave you Lemons?

No point of hating. Marketing(anywhere and Everywhere if you have the Cash) is what fuels competition/sales/maximize profits.

Hey look at Google they make money off clicks...that's as simple as it gets. I don't care where MS put ads as I live in a capitalistic society and is expected.(You learn how to filter things you don't like)

If you don't like to see MS game/ads on TV or Dew cans then turn the channel or drink your Mountain Dew in a Brown paper bag or something.

Without Marketing your business isn't going anywhere these days..

What's wrong with advertising? Gotta sell your product to the public.

And at least it's not all over your Mt. Dew or Slurpees....

+bubbles for all.

Edit:

Interesting... was supposed to be in reply to #1...

tatotiburon6092d ago

is wrong because sony don't do it right?

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?

DrDoomer567d ago

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

raWfodog567d ago

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

BrainSyphoned567d 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*

Husker42c567d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb567d ago

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

ChasterMies567d ago (Edited 567d 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_Mal567d ago (Edited 567d 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.

darthv72567d 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.

Hofstaderman567d ago

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

Profchaos566d ago (Edited 566d 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.

BehindTheRows566d 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.

Crows90731d ago

They gotta bring back those gargoyles!

Dudeson731d ago

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

GaboonViper731d ago

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

got_dam731d 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.

cthulhucultist730d 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.

Demetrius730d 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.

thorstein1306d ago

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

I am biased.

Hofstaderman1306d ago (Edited 1306d 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

Jiub1306d ago

Sometimes I forget how much of a powerhouse the PS1 was

MadLad1306d 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.

Jiub1306d ago

IMO: Chrono Trigger and Suikoden II

thorstein1306d ago

Octopath Traveler is really good.

BlaqMagiq11306d ago

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

Exvalos1306d ago

Man your dang near spot on absolute spot on choices

Epicor1305d 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.

MadLad1306d ago (Edited 1306d 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.

LoveSpuds1306d ago (Edited 1306d ago )

Some quality taste in games there squire.

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

MadLad1306d ago

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

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

Omegasyde1306d ago

Loved rouge galaxy. Fav game from Level 5.

ManMarmalade1306d ago

Legend of Dragoon #1 game of all time for me
