Monkey Island WAS pretty funny, so were a lot of those point-and-click adventures back in the day. They lost some of their charm when they went 3D though, hoping Move will be used to bring back some more classics or create some new ones.

MrMccormo4961d ago (Edited 4961d ago )

Yep. Lots of those old adventure games were full of great humor.

What about Portal? That's a modern funny game.

Video games are funny in different ways, though. I can think of many times when physics wigged out in Half Life 2 - for example - and I laughed my head off.

Chaostar4961d ago

Yes Portal is funny and with Steve Merchant in the sequel it looks to continue that trend :)

One of my funniest moments in gaming was shooting a guy in the crotch and watching him drop, clutching them in agony in Goldeneye (N64).

Glitches are neary always hilarious.

first Leisure Suit Larry was a funny game.

coolfool4961d ago

This was always funny. The dry wit of George Stobart always made me laugh.

Acquiescence4961d ago

one of the funniest creations in video gaming. He doesn't even have to try to be funny, he just is. His interactions with the locals in the Ireland level: :'D

KiRBY30004961d ago

his accent is awesome too.

tplarkin74961d ago

That was the funniest game I ever played, if you choose the evil route.

MultiConsoleGamer4961d ago

Custer's Revenge is freaking hillarious.

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_Bomb146d 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.

darthv72146d 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.

Fable II - A Fantasy Series at Peak Performance

Fable II launched back in 2008 and remains the best the series has offered. Ahead of the series comeback, it's time to look at the classic.

Crows90310d ago

They gotta bring back those gargoyles!

Dudeson310d ago

I'd love to play it again, this time on pc though. Forever waiting on that pc port.

GaboonViper310d ago

Loved this game, oh and i always saved my dog at the end, hope the new Fable has a animal companion.

got_dam310d ago

Fable 2 was the best inthe series. Peter waaaaaaay over promised with fable 1 and it was good but disappointing. He didn't go crazy eith hype for the second game and it was surprisingly awesome. Then he ran his mouth promoting 3 and it was the worst of the 3.

cthulhucultist310d ago

Funny story: Fable 3 had a funny way of keeping the promises you made in the first half of the game and having enough money to defeat the darkness.

You only had to collect enough money to buy 2 stores in a busy market district. You then raise the prices to maximum and you turn xbox 360 internal clock 99 or more years ahead.

The next time you load the game, all the rents from the 99 years are collected immediately.

But yes I agree that 3 was the weakest of the three.

Demetrius310d ago

I only got to play it once 😩 I'm so tempted to buy a Xbox 360 slim but planning on getting the series x soon since I got a PS5 in February Im ready to get saints row 1&2 back, GTA 4, fable 2, but I also want to play infamous 1&2 again Sony screwed us over with the stream only for saints row 2 and other gems smh
