Games like Ninja Gaiden, Contra, and Battletoads know what it means to be difficult. These games brought frustration and anger along with the packaging, so many controllers may have been sacrificed. But going against the computer is very different from going against other players. Compared to offline gaming, competing online against a superior player would bring back those negative emotions. Who knows why we have these antagonistic feelings but at times we feel cheated. On Xbox 360, LIVE connects gamers to either compete or cooperate in these troublesome games. Here are some of the hardest games we've played on Xbox Live:
SEGA has announced Fearless: Year of Shadow, a campaign that celebrates Sonic the Hedgehog and his brooding acquaintance, Shadow.
GamesIndustry.biz writes: "Relic is best known for the Company of Heroes and Dawn of War games, and recently developed the new Age of Empires for Microsoft. Relic will transition to an independent studio and will no-longer be part of the Sega group of studios.
The majority of the 240 job cuts are across Creative Assembly and Sega Europe, while there will be a ‘small number’ cut from Sega HARDLight. There was no mention of other Sega UK studios, including Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive."
Shame about Creative Assembly, they should have just been allowed to do an Alien Isolation sequel.
It was that garbage coh 3 that did them in only a special team can make a sequel worse in every way even though it was a 10 year gap and the same era.
Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive probably run on a shoe string budget so that fits into SEGA better lol
Sega had such a turbulent existence from the mid-90s to when they dropped out of console manufacturing entirely in 2001, it’s understandable if you’ve never heard of the Genesis Nomad.
Aeigis wing!! if they throwing that arcade game into the list, they have never played ikaruga. that game is the most difficult ones ever!!!!!! i agree with gears though its a hard game to play, but i dont think it deserve #1
Gears 2 is hard to play online due to the poor balancing of the competitive modes...
And while Modern Warfare 2 is difficult, it's not that bad if you've played through the campaigns on Veteran. I started the online recently, and did waaay better than I thought I would.
I'm 100% with you on Modern Warfare- but like SKGamer, I say the multiplayer is way harder than the single player. Too many changes from CoD4. Too much emphasis on killstreaks (and as a result, camping).
Ninja Gaiden is missing though. Such a gnarly franchise for difficulty.
