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
That's not the only thing to worry about the 360.
Even the journalists are saying it. These are the same journalists who just couldn't seem to notice the gameplay issues in Gears 2 and Fable II when they hit last year, so when THESE sort of journalists are noticing the lack of games, you know that there's a a lack of games.
Fanboys keep saying this but I don't believe it.
I thought so but at E3 last year after the big announcment I am more worried about what will happen this year. Saying that the rest of the show was bland.
there is always a leak of gameplay footage or screenshots. we're a quarter through 09 and Im still wondering what games will DEFINITELY be released this year. Am i the only person who feels that e3's big FF announcement was just papering over the cracks for a lack of quality exclusives. Not implying that the games out weren't enjoyable to those who played them just that compared to 07, o8 was baron and 09 as it stands look the same. Yes things can change but its hard to envisage many 3rd party exclusives for the 360 as its becoming less and less viable financially. The 1st party games does not need explaining as its obvious are not using that model for now.
edit GEC,
c'mon man. We all knew gears was coming. The gta dlc was also originally billed for last year and the games that were announced were games like lips, your in the frikkin movies etc. Are you not a teeny weeny bit anxious??
Well.. They've been shouting everywhere that they haven't announced their upcoming line up because they don't like to over promise and that they show things when they are closer to the year of release unlike sony and saying they have upcoming exclusives that look better than killzone 2 but ....
i'm waiting Microsoft ..stop talking so much crap and show them already
