Competition is great for the gaming industry and the consumers of gaming products. In 2008, the battle for best console will be won in many domains including most consoles units sold, best game titles, best multiplayer and brightest future.
For the last few years we've seen the Xbox 360 dominate in many domains of competition. Microsoft has continued to receive key titles on their platform because their development support is extremely friendly and consumers, in the United States specifically, have taken to purchasing the console as the PC-alternative for current generation gaming. Microsoft's LIVE! integration for gaming is tightly built to the 360 experience and allows consumers to quickly purchase add-on content for game levels, rock band and guitar hero songs and silly content such as picture packs and themes.
This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
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."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
Gaming will be great this year in general acoross all platforms. But it all comes down to what you are really interested in.
Also, With the PS3 lineup this year, if anything I would say is the console to beat this year. It's bring most of the fan favorites to the table and new titles as well.
King Kaz wouldn't blame you, your 2008 line-up is SICKENING! Surely you don't want to be stuck with that MEDIOCRITY? That SEWAGE? That FILTH?
MWAH-HA-HA-HA!!!
Xbox360 and PS3
Gaming will be awesome across all platforms but I will most likely pick up titles I know the 'sequels' to be good rather than some new untested IP though.
yeah the PS3 will own 2008, we all know it (minus the denial boys who under-estimate key factors about which i wont go into detail here)
but these articles are really getting boring now
flame wars are funny and entertaining, but do we really need 30 articles about the exact same thing?
