Most of the time, owning a PS3 over an Xbox 360 (or the other way round), doesn’t really matter. Most games are available on both machines – it’s a far cry from playground scraps between Nintendo-owning fans of the fat, moustachioed plumber and Sega-favouring supporters of the speedy blue hedgehog. But every now and then, a new game comes along that makes you throw disdainful looks at the console you’ve chosen and seriously consider opening your wallet again. These are 10 of the best…
In a world where Gambit thrived, Destiny 2’s seasons, storylines, and even its endgame might’ve revolved around PvEvP as a core foundation.
Destiny already has the pretty hyper 'raid' fixation and then they added legendary raid dungeons. Hyperfixating in PvEvP wouldn't work as well because you need a lot more than 2% of the userbase to keep that going unlike raids that are propped up by streamers who make running them their whole job. Most players don't play all the raids let alone run them over and over. And most who play PvP don't want structured PvE elements.
IGN : How does the new The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, released in 2025 for Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, Steam, and PS5, compare to the original 2006 Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion released on Xbox 360, played via Xbox Series X/S Backwards Compatibility?
Original Destiny artist Darren Bacon recalls how Bungie reacted to the art style change of Halo 4 by 343 Industries.
Bungie at that time became the most wonderful bunch of hypocrites in the gaming industry. Knowing this now, gosh the entitlement they felt was out of this world.
Nothing like buying yourself from Microsoft because you don't want to be the Halo Studio anymore, and the FIRST THING you do is sign your next IP over to Activision, for a DECADE, while they are in the middle of ousting the heads of Infinity Ward so they can exert even more control over COD while screwing out the devs at IW...
Should've come as no surprise then that Activision gutted the content of Destiny 1 before launch and was a horrible partner through Destiny 2, until history repeated itself and Bungie had to split from Activision only to wind up in the arms of another major conglomerate that also doesn't know how to handle these unmanageable devs.
Tti their credit they praised the technical abilities of 343 and I remember at the time thinking halo 4 was a huge graphical leap above reach everything else was rubbish when I actually got to play it but there was no doubt it looked good for the 360 and is probably the best looking game on the system.
But ultimately I think bungie has always had a leadership problem and going independent ultimately proved this it's only getting worse with studio heads being outed by Sony for abuse allegations seems like all bungies past success has been in spite of management not because of it.
But really I think the bungie we have today is not the same one we had in that Xbox era of Bungie
I liked the artstyle change. For the most part. Something looked worse but most of everything else looked better. Weapons and vehicles for sure. The wraith come to my mind instantly.
And how can they get mad when the bungie changed it with Halo Reach?
I know a lot of people dislike Halo 4’s arts style, but there’s thing about it I like and dislike. Personally, the Halo 4 design of Master Chief’s armour is my favourite depiction of the character’s armour.
Crackdown and Halo 3 are definitely amazing console exclusives
This has got to be the absolute worst list I have seen all year! Wii sports resort? Trials HD? Crackdown? WTF?
Um.. MGS4?? Yea it came out 2 years ago but it still is the best game ever.
Well, whoever wrote this list shouldn't be quitting their day job any time soon.
Agree on Super Mario Galaxy 2, God of War III and Uncharted 2 (though their positions on the list are suspect).
Gears of War 1 isn't exclusive to consoles. Mario Kart Wii shouldn't be there. And Trials HD and Wii Sports Resort? Just no.
And rather than Halo 3, I'd choose the original Halo: CE, but that's not console exclusive. Crackdown? It's good but sorry. I'm surprised games like XenoGears, Vagrant Story, Ocarina of Time, Blast Corps, Eternal Darkness, Kingdom Hearts 2, Metal Gear Solid (all of 'em) didn't make the list...but it's a matter of personal preference.
I do find it odd that not a single Metal Gear was mentioned.
That's the problem with top ten lists like these. Somewhere, you're going to be wrong and leave something worth mentioning...unmentioned.
Gears of war and Trials are available on PC. They aren't exclusive.
