ok, why is soul calibur IV on the freakin list? if anything it'll sell better on the ps3 because of Darth Vador and the D-pad.

SlappingOysters5793d ago

In the context of the article it makes sense.

I am definitely up for the DualShock 3 on this one. Hate the X360 control pad for fighters!

InMyOpinion5793d ago

Because the game is on the 360. The article is about games on the 360, not the PS3.

Btw, it's Vader not Vador.

timmyrulz5793d ago

Its pointless puting on articles like this, havent you all heard, games are no longer worth playing now that MGS4 is out.

Dethspyder5793d ago

MGS4 is the best next gen game I've ever played but there are other games worth playing in the world, hopefully

timmyrulz is being sarcastic, Dethspyder.

EDIT: looks like I was right, scroll down to his next comment...

Dethspyder5793d ago

the only game I saw that even looks OK is GOW2 don't tell me the mighty Xbox has run out of good titles and the PS3 is just starting I predicted this a while ago still I hope it picks up

Superfragilistic5793d ago

Do you guys read these articles? It was the same thing when Pure was listed in the Top Ten for the PS3?

The article has a humorous tilt on what will "turn you on".

For example Fable 2 has lots of whores and plenty of variety for your needs, Soul Calibre has scantily clad women with huge bouncing chests, etc...

Soulcalibur IV: Nope
Fable 2: Yes
Gears of War 2: It might
Tom Clancy’s HAWX: Yeah, it mightX
Castle Crashers: What is this?
Unreal Tournament 3: No, i own it for my PS3 allready
Tom Clancy’s EndWar: Other than voice command, no
World in Conflict: Looks nice, but without M/K im not sure
Halo Wars: I might, but only because i love the Halo universe
Red Faction: Guerrilla: Terrible graphics dosnt turn me on. :) Nostalgi might though

n to the b5792d ago

Castle Crashers is a 4-player co-op 2.5D (as opposed to 2D or 3D - think TMNT Arcade) made by the guys behind Alien Hominid. It shares graphical style with Alien Hominid, too: bright colors & minimalist character designs. prob shares the humor as well. don't know if it'll share the crazy difficulty tho.

Castle Crashers was actually one of the cool-looking things I noticed about 360 XBLA near launch and helped me realize I was prob gonna stick with microsoft again this next-gen.

The 7 Best Xbox 360 Games - Console Exclusives Win the Day

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?

DrDoomer147d ago

I'm pretty used to these lists being bad, but this one is particularly s#ite.

raWfodog147d ago

I think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon should have been added to the list.

BrainSyphoned147d ago

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*

Husker42c147d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb147d ago

Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.

ChasterMies147d ago (Edited 147d ago )

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.

Abnor_Mal147d ago (Edited 147d ago )

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.

darthv72147d ago

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.

Hofstaderman147d ago

When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....

Profchaos146d ago (Edited 146d ago )

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.

BehindTheRows146d ago

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.

Soul Calibur IV - 15 Years of Soul

Soul Calibur IV launched worldwide 15 years ago, bringing with it the best performance of the series to date.

Terry_B272d ago

Hell no. It was the start of the downfall (SCV) of the series. Huge downstep from the giant SCIII

purple101272d ago

Switched to unreal engine. Ruined it.

Yi-Long271d ago (Edited 271d ago )

Used to love this series, probably my favorite 3D fighter, perhaps together with the now also dead Dead or Alive (2-3-4), but as with so many games in the fighting genre, their short-term greed (season passes) has made me lose all interest, sadly …

sagapo271d ago

Yeah, I remember playing Soul Caliber on my dreamcast at the time, that was insane!

sosro271d ago (Edited 271d ago )

the first three are much better games.

Walweeze271d ago

Loved Number 2 and 3( loved all the solo modes like chronicle of the sword ) so was super hyped when 4 came out but the lack of single player content was disappointing. Still love soul calibur to this day though

DarXyde271d ago

2 was definitely the golden era of Soul Calibur for me. I was a bit conflicted about it at times because there were 3 different versions (I liked the PS2 version for controls, I liked playing as Spawn the most, and I thought the addition of Link was really awesome). Even so, the single player content was outstanding. Easily the most fun I've had with a fighting game, followed closely by Tekken 5's single player modes

Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X. - A Series that Burned Up on Re-Entry

Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X. was a series that showed promise, but after 2010's Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X. 2, all we have is backwards compatibility.

Abnor_Mal304d ago (Edited 304d ago )

I remember buying Hawx2 back on PS3 after Microsoft bought exclusivity of Ace Combat6.

So to fill that dog fighting space I bought Hawx2, a very basic game that only had a gimmick of evasion that was overused if I remember correctly. I never even finished the game and still own it and my super slim ps3 so who knows I might pop it in one day and see if I can feel the need, I he need for speed.
