From the PlanetXbox360.com feature top 10 list:
"Mankind has had a fascination with beings from beyond the stars ever since someone first realized that it was possible. They make feature appearances in our television shows, books, films, and even our music. Sometimes they're benevolent creatures that wish to learn from each other's culture and murderous experiences. Other times they're rampant predators with no goal more complex than using us as incubators for their young. Whether they're coincidentally humanoid or unbelievably hideous, they still captivate our imaginations. With the recent release of Aliens vs. Predator on the Xbox 360 we thought it would be a perfect time to list the top 10 virtual aliens, which show up in video games throughout this generation."
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.
Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.
Pity.
Wealth of Geeks explores some of the best gaming romances that have stolen our hearts over the years.
Not every Halo game has been a banger, but the franchise still has a raft of the greatest games of all time.
Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.
Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.
I wish Aliens vs. Predator had been a better game, cool list though!
My favorites are the ones from Halo and Mass Effect....
nice list, good job
This article should not be in the ps3 section.
I would have expected to see the Chimera on there, but still, a well done list. The only stupid thing is that the list is on 3 pages.
