What! Gears back at #2 and COD4 to 3rd and no meantion of Mass Effect :( well least Oblivion is on there

Tommie5946d ago

This accounts for the entire year of 2007, so Gears of War was a full year on the market, compared to 3 months for Halo 3 and 2 months for Call of Duty 4. So really, Halo 3 and COD4 did amazing, compared to all the other games.

Did I miss the multiplayer aspect of Mass Effect?

Darkiewonder5946d ago

Now I can pick from those games people play so I can buy. But does anyone know the release date for Ikaruga HD before I spend my MS points?

A game from 2006 (gears of short) make it to the list of most played games for 2007.

LMAO x360 what a complete disaster all around it was in 2007 and cant even think of 2008.

poor xbots.

caffman5946d ago

what on earth was it for the PS3? And gears is still longer than HS

wageslave5944d ago

Gears won Game of the Year after Game of the Year award in its release.

Gears of War has a Metacritic score of 94 / 100 -- better than *ANY* exclusive PS3 game *EVER RELEASED* (and, only matched by the 9.4 by CoD4; which btw is at #5 of overall Xbox 360 titles, exceeded by exclusive BioShock (96/100))

http://www.metacritic.com/g...

AND, it has serious replay ability with Online CoOp and PvP online multiplayer variations -- which, is proved by its popularity in this 2007 LIVE data.

Gears of War is better, has more value, more fans and greater replay ability than any PS3 in existence. It is evidenced by the metrics I provide above.

In SHORT, get lost.

sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart575692d ago

Every article, console fanboy trite, all these years later. Let me explain it AGAIN, in simple terms for the fanboys. Sentient human gamers do have their preferred platform, however they will buy and own multiple platforms so they can enjoy the games they want to enjoy. I own and have owned multiple platforms, Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft and now Valve, simply to enjoy a wide range of games across a broad spectrum of platforms. It's great. You don't have to pick a 'team' and cheer them on through thick and thin, dissing the other 'team'. And for you 'VenomUK' to state 'Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this', proves that you're a bit behind. Learn, enjoy, live, develop, trust and coexist if you can, life is better that way.

@Stuart5756
Well said.
This is why i never understand fanboying over hardware. This is not like a sports team, its just hardware. Why some people have this mentality to pick a side and stick with it and refuse to look at other platforms, therefore depriving themselves of games that are only available on those platforms. They are suppose to be gamers after all?

FinalFantasyFanatic91d ago

It's practically guaranteed to come to PC as well, if that's the case, I might pick it up after it gets a discount or two.

TheEroica91d ago (Edited 91d ago )

Thank goodness for pro gamer companies like Microsoft.... It's about time we unified platforms where now only corporate suits benefit! Pro gamers all the way. Thanks Microsoft!

Yup ... bring Gears 2, 3 Judgement as well as Fable II and Halo 5 to PC

phoenixwing92d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic91d ago

I'm really shocked that Halo 5 still isn't on PC yet, almost everything is ported over and that's the only Halo game that hasn't been ported.

Profchaos92d ago

Take it with a grain of salt this leaker has been wrong many Times

The connection has been rumoured in the past so there's some credibility but it's more if it's actually in testing or not

Father__Merrin92d ago

tell u what gears 3 on series x same 360 game but in 4k and 60fps is a dream it looks crystal clear

Sciurus_vulgaris92d ago

The Series X enhanced versions of Gears 3 and Judgement can at times look like Xbox One titles.

Concertoine91d ago

Yeah i got into Gears 3 multiplayer last year. People still play it a lot. Tons of maps and looks great with the 60 FPS.

Brazz92d ago

It would be funny to see Gears of War collection on Nintendo Switch.
