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
Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.
Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.
Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
they sold alot, they should have looking at their outstanding marketing and super duper low price point. no 1 is surprised.
I was already ready to commend M$ for a job well done but after seeing this response reminded me what douches they really were.
All I see is "nyah nyah we beat PS3 nyah nyah!" What kind of self-respecting company is that?

"Record-setting software attach rate leads the industry, now at 8.1"
That is a really impressive attach rate. I'm still scratching my head over reports from EA that the PS3 is selling the most software for them. It must be Europe because it's not the USA or Japan.
Note to MS: All the biggest selling games you are talking about are all considered "hard core" focused(Fable 2 being the most casual). All your pure casual titles like Lips and In the Movies have bombed both sales wise and critic wise. Don't forget about your hard core base, they are your bread and butter.
Now can you get to work on some NEW games for 2009? If it weren't for valve, activision and epic your list of games would be rather small. While you may be bringing in a lot of console sales, you arn't matching the quality games on other consoles that will keep the current owners happy.
edit - I know that MS tends to keeps game announces to a 6-8 month period, my post is about the fact that none of their best selling games in november were by microsoft:
Gears - epic
L4D - valve
COD W@W - activision/tryarch
you have fable 2 being the only in house dev team that really had something to show.
I can't wait to see the next bach of games for the 360, I just want to see something more then gears 3, halo 3-odst, and other sequels for game's we've already have. I want something NEW to keep me interested.
"Outsold PS3 and PS2 combined."
Really shows how strong the PS2 is still going. Amazing. I would say they have every right to be happy with the sales, but I can't get over their "I did better than you" attitude.
