Cracked: " Video games let us do things we've always fantasized about but could never actually pull off without ending up in a prison cell, a mental institution, or a closed-casket funeral. But as with every entertainment medium, there are a few brave souls in gaming who declare that they want to make their work realistic, damn it!
It's a nice thought -- in theory. In reality, it just makes everything ridiculous."
Without Jurassic Park: Trespasser, we may never have had Grabbed By the Ghoulies. Or Halo, Gears of War, and the rest.
A prelude to many things it was not the foundation or keystone for Xbox like at all. Also, Trespasser failed because the focus was his really, really bad physics engine stacked on top of a dog turd shaped like a dinosaur game. So if your saying this is honorary foundation material? no, it was just something in the portfolio.
Also hot at the time were Sin and Half Life. Trespasser was thrashed for a reason and it was not because those two were better, it was just a lazy cash grab with this doof’s horrible physics project being the selling point. Bury that dinosaur
For all the faults with trespasser there's a reason why people now make videos and opinion pieces on the game of how many decades in the future that game tried to be, not graphically but in terms of it's ideas.
Whilst I didn't agree with youre take, props for mentioning Sin. Those games along with Kingpin were a great era in gaming lol
Trespasser could have been a trailblazing game that set new standards, if everything hadn't gone horribly wrong.
But I think the game is kinda charming, despite everything or because of it? Completed it once and it can be very atmospheric and sometimes quite tense (the arm doesn't help ease the tension).
I kinda want an indie survival horror game designed around that horrible arm idea.
They are really trying their best to keep Xbox relevant in the gaming news. Xbox's decision to release more games multiplatform are really taking and effect and now it sounds like Xbox hopes it'll cause a January 6, it's almost like the same idea, incite a riot. Stir everyone up and not have to be the sad sucker that goes down alone. Misery loves company. This is getting nasty. Xbox fans are still in a fitted rage, like they learned to do when they were a kid to throw a fit in hopes to eventually get what they want or as an adult in jail that keeps kicking the door until someone shows up to tell them NO again, because that's the only way to try and get what they want.
Xbox fans don't want it to play it necessarily, they just want it to make them feel better about feeling bad, but PlayStation and Nintendos business strategy isn't the same as Xbox, people can't seem to understand that Xbox aren't the trailblazers. They're the the failures that are trying to think of how to survive when nobody can trust them anymore. So, you're getting random stuff like this to try and keep Xbox on the mind.
Really, it's not like Xbox fans have anything to worry about. It's not like Xbox gave competing platforms anything of value. It's their low tier games. It's not Halo, Gears, Forza, or I would say something from Bethesda, but yeah right, PlayStation has Skyrim, Doom, Quake, Elder Scrolls Online, etc. There's still a lot of Bethesda software on Sonys machine. Just let things go how they're going to go. YOURE NOT GETTING HELLDIVERS 2, ITS A SONY OWNED IP! THE ONLY REASON YOU GOT MLB THE SHOW is because MLB pressured Sony or they'd strip them of their license, not that anyone else was clamoring to fill the void, they wouldn't have had anyone, so it went and Xbox gave away Sonys game for free. Then you have Destiny, which could come to an end, as Bungie stated they wanted to remain platform neutral as part of the agreement so, it stayed that way, unless Sony now steps in and takes over, we'll see but, it's Sonys IP. Just because Xbox wants to go that route doesn't mean Sony and Nintendo should, let it go
The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?
I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*
Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.
Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.
Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.
The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.
360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.
When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....
It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.
It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.
They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.
In the wake of some of the Metal Gear games getting remastered in the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection, it seems like a good time to take a look back at the originals. This review will go over one of the classic titles, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.
Tresspasser was an epic game
No David Cage games made the cut?!
must be a slow news day
