50 New Videogame Classics: The Top 25

Completing our countdown of the high-scorers in interactive fun from 1983 to the present; see where ''Grand Theft Auto IV,'' ''Tony Hawk,'' ''Mario,'' ''Doom,'' and other legends rank

Except (IMO of course) for maybe Secret Of Mana, but that did not even make this pile of sh1t list.

Asurastrike5794d ago

GTA SA is a classic. GTAIV is a dumbed down version of SA with better graphics.

Angelitos5794d ago

I remember the first tony hawk. I was like 9 years old and I thought it was the best videogame in the world.

omodis4205794d ago

This list sucked. How could Doom be so high on the list? It doesn't hold up to the modern shooters. If they were going to go that route then lets just say Resistance, Halo, and Call of Duty 4 are the best games of all time. This list is just pure crap.

roybatty5794d ago

You may be too young to realize, but when Doom came out (ther was Wolfenstein 3d b4 it) it absolutely BLEW everyone away who saw it.
It's the reason I wanted to get a PC. I was floored by Doom.

ViRaL-5794d ago

I've played most of those and i must say MGS4 has to be in the top 5 at least. #1 for me... its the best game i ever played so far

The review embargo for Hellblade 2 appears to lift on the same date as the launch of the game, just an hour before it's available.

Reviews dont usually spoil its usually the players that get it early spoils it

Like all other games being reviewed before launch day ?

This game will disappoint many players. Ninja Theory’s last game

Barlos52m ago(Edited 51m ago)

A well written review normally won't spoil anything though.

Come on, we all know it's usually not a good sign when the review embargo lifts on launch day. Doesn't mean to say the game is going to be bad or anything, but it does often point to a lack of confidence.

Tacoboto1h ago

That's not a good sign.

Review codes have been sent out as of 8 hours ago (according to Tom Henderson on X) so at least they aren't withholding those... But you'd think with confidence they'd want positive reviews to get buzz going online the weekend before release.

... But if they're expecting mid reviews, yeah sure lift that embargo when most people are asleep.

Kornholic55m ago(Edited 55m ago)

MS might be withholding review codes from more critical reviewers to inflate the launch window Metascore. Just like they did with Starfield.

TheColbertinator1h ago

Nice. I could speedrun it by midnight and go to sleep after.

Zero marketing and embargo lifts when the game launches?

No confidence from team Xbox.

Starfield's new Xbox performance modes are thoughtful and comprehensive

Digital Foundry : Bethesda's Starfield was generally a well-regarded RPG, but the game's 30fps target on consoles was the subject of some controversy. The game's massive scope arguably justified that 30fps refresh rate, with only high-end PCs capable of hitting 60fps and higher, but now Bethesda has changed course and opened the floodgates on Xbox Series X consoles following significant optimisation work. Players can now independently select performance and visuals modes at arbitrary frame-rates. How exactly do these new combinations fare, and is 60fps really a possibility after it was explicitly ruled out before?

900p in performance mode for SX.... I'd assume a 5pro would at least hit 1080p if not more.

It’s a point, click and load game. Stop with all the massive scale bullshit. Only thing massive is the number of junk items they decided to throw in the game.
