No big surprise. Uncharted 2 was "best of show" for a lot of media outlets at E3 '09, also. True gamers will make sure they have a PS3 to play this game (as well as Gran Turismo 5, Heavy Rain, God of War 3, Demons Soul...oh the list goes on)

NG sigma2, ratchet and clank:aCiT, WKC, FFvs13.........

deadreckoning6665370d ago

Im definetly getting Uncharted 2, but I'm actually more excited for AC2. Is there somethg wrong with me?

raztad5370d ago (Edited 5370d ago )

@Dead

I dont think so, but it's kinda weird :D.

@beavis

Yeah the list is long. Some multiplats as Batman:AA need a honorific mention. I'm getting Demons Souls, R&C:ACiT, UC(1) and UC2 (I feel a bit guilty only PS3 owners get to play this awesome game :D, GOTY most probably). Batman:AA will be a post November purchase. Next year is looking extremely epic with MAG, HR and GoW3 to boot.

Uncharted 2 also won MANY awards at E3 while the Alan Wait Impressed NO ONE. The 360 version clearly under delivered. It was supposed to be a great SANDBOX game which it no longer is because of the 360 limitations. So sad the 360 gimps yet another game.

deadreckoning6665370d ago (Edited 5370d ago )

Ur right Alan Wake, graphically, looked average to me. But its coming out NEXT YEAR, so we don't know what the finished product will look like. Whats even more insane to me is that GOW3 and Conviction will look even better come March. 2010 is a great time to be a gamer whether you have a PS3 OR a 360.

Ninver5370d ago

GOTY 2009 since...well...E3. Real gamers will pick Uncharted 2 up along with a brand new slim. Your christmas just got alot cosier.

nightelfmohawk5370d ago

Alan Wake looks like a slightly upgraded Silent Hill Homecoming to me.

CreativeAccount35369d ago

Alan wake looks pretty damn good -___-
To me anyways..

But i REALLY want uncharted 2 !!! it will be the first game i get with my new PS3 soon :D

SnuggleBandit5369d ago (Edited 5369d ago )

@deadreckoning

i don't get why you think conviction looks so good graphically...especially not in the animation department...certainly not worth comparing to uncharted 2 or GOW 3

Kamikaze1355370d ago

White Knight Chronicles was the best game there.

raztad5370d ago

It's good to be a PS3 owner :D.

I'm eagerly waiting for WKC.

Saaking5370d ago

Who cares? PS3 owners get both :)

kaz-hirai5370d ago

I liked how M$ commented on Sonys long confrence while M$ confrence was boring and dull and only showed Fable 3 ;-D

Dont worry chatboxes they will show Milo again soon ;-D

Or you could make REAL FREINDS! ;-D!!!!!!!!!

Saaking5370d ago

Don't tell the bots, but Milo's a fake :O !

ArcticWolfUK5370d ago

$15 horse for WoW made more money than StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty

Jason Hall, currently an indie developer and former Blizzard employee, has been sharing some really interesting stories from his long career in the industry for a while now. Some of them are truly insightful, while others may seem depressing.

I’m a little shocked that StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty sold only around 6 million copies. The original StarCraft did over 11 million. Maybe Blizzard was too leisurely in releasing StarCraft 2? Starcraft 2 came out 12 years after it’s predecessor.

Plague-Doctor27171d ago (Edited 171d ago )

Im surprised too. Starcraft was still a huge name in 2010. It was kinda the only new RTS around and other genres like MOBAs hadn't really kicked off yet. I do remember at the time sentiment around the game was
pretty angry the game was being split into 3 but I doubt that would have impacted sales to that degree

Sciurus_vulgaris171d ago

For a long time I believed StarCraft II sold on par or better than its predecessor. There was so much hype for the game. Plus it had a pretty strong E-Sports scene for a few years.

Myself and half a dozen friends all bought StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty and played it religiously for a full year. While I bought the expansions, most of my friends did not. RPGs seem to be a generally low selling genre.

Nerdmaster171d ago

I'm not shocked at all. This was an early example of Blizzard being greedy. Instead of releasing a complete experience, splitting Starcraft 2 in 3 parts so it could make us purchase it 3 times if we wanted to know the whole story and play story mode with the other races.

Sciurus_vulgaris171d ago

I originally had that stance. However, Wings of Liberty, was just as long, if not longer than StarCraft 1. The expansions were of decent length too and added a good amount of additional content.

il-JumperMT171d ago

and people wonder why we are having mtx in everything. i blame the people who actual buy them.

Nerdmaster171d ago

It's interesting he used Brazil as an example of the importance of regional pricing. Nowadays many companies on Steam are setting their prices in Brazil as high as, if not more than, their price in USA. I simply refused to buy a few games when I noticed that's the case.

Extermin8or3_171d ago

This right here is the fucking problem.

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks Might Be the Most Underrated Zelda Game Ever

Tears of the Kingdom may be about to become everyone's new favorite, but there's one DS game that deserves more shine.

For me...

Wind Waker
Twilight Princess
Skyward Sword
BotW

These are the best Link's in that order IMO based on their backstory and general percieved personality in my eyes. Since he is silent in the eyes of the player, gotta rely on hidden backstory, motivations, and interactions with other characters to define the personality part.

Inverno1118d ago

Definitely Wind Waker, up until Tetra turned into Zelda which magically stripped her of her spunkyness. But once she's back to being Tetra she's definitely the most badass of the incarnations. This wasn't Link and because of that we got a character that earned the triforce and rised up to be a hero.

AuraAbjure1118d ago (Edited 1118d ago )

A strong case.

1118d ago
AuraAbjure1118d ago (Edited 1118d ago )

OoT. Link's most masculine physique plus just look at how hard that version of Zelda pwns in Super Smash Bros Melee.
