IGN: Xbox 360 Game of the Month: June 2008

IGN Xbox Team writes:

"June was perhaps our most poorly reviewed month in IGN Xbox 360 history. Store shelves were packed with games -- almost all of which were bad. Few managed to stand out and only our winner for Game of the Month managed to truly earn our admiration.

Xbox 360 Game of the Month: Battlefield: Bad Company

Why We Picked It: "Battlefield: Bad Company is a great addition to the long-running series, despite the fact that it leaves the comfy confines of the PC world. The added storyline gives newfound depth to the formerly shallow single-player mode, despite the fact that the dramatization pales in comparison to what we've seen from Call of Duty 4. Where Bad Company truly shines is in its multiplayer and the technology that drives the game forward. Both raise the bar in their own right and give the competition something to strive for. In this summer relatively devoid of solid first-person shooters, Bad Company does enough to earn your hard-earned dough." – Nate Ahearn"

Why would they choose Ninja Gaiden 2 when it sucks so bad? There's nothing wrong with choosing a multi-platform game for game of the month but we all know MGS4 will be game of the month for PS3.

1.3 - @1.1
Do you hold those same regards to a game like Call of Duty 4? Which is one of the best looking games on consoles.

I know that was meant to be a cheap shot. You gonna hit us with your purse next?

@1.2: How far did you get on NG2? What is your gamertag? The game scored in the 80's at metacritic and has been getting many great reviews. Why does it suck so bad again?

2 - I hate the bloody Call Of Duty 4 comparisons
God it's annoying. The Single Player is amazing with the humor alone, destruction makes it so much more fun.

All the review was is *Call Of duty 4 this, lacked where Call Of Duty 4 was blah blah*

most people dont realize anything about the resolution until its mentioned. ninja gaiden 2 didnt nesccesarily suck but it just had a really bad story and unacceptable camera.

ok, i know a story makes a game(espicially for mgs fans like myself) but ninja gaiden 2 has some of the best gameplay a action adventure could have with the exception of technical difficulties.

nothing to do with it being exclusive or not, but then again, im more of an action adventure type of person more then a fps person so maybe im alittle biased. whatever though, it doesnt cause me to enjoy the games i play any less

4 - @giantenemycrab. you know why the ps3 fans are saying it sucked right?
because the 360 fanboys on here last year were all about a game only being worth anything if it has a metacritic score of 90 or higher so since metacritic has ninja gaiden 2 at a 80 then they just throw that back in your face.

that was one of the worst mistakes the 360 fanboys made was bringing metacritic because now the ps3 fans can easily trash any and every game on the 360 that isnt a 90...AND they can say a game is good when it gets an 80 since they were the ones who said it to begin with. its all fanboy politics that i know you know all about.

4.2 - name me one time i EVER said anything about the 360 not having more 90 rated exclusives than the ps3?
and secondly, so your telling me that you spoke to the ps3 "defenders/fanboys" on this site that i've spoken to over psn?

how can you tell me something when i spoke to quite of few of these people why they bash ninja gaiden 2?.....thats right you cant. and sure you could have spoken to them to but that doesnt change the fact of my talks with them.

your thing about prefering the 360's line up this year. who gives a sh!t. its all subjective. as for the 360 fans taking ninja gaiden 2's scores with "stride". thats a interesting thing to say because the people that I saw commenting on this site didnt exactly take it with "stride" but rather by resorting to how the reviewers were being "hard" on it.

as far as the ps3 fans go and what they said last year, ok thats part of my point. when games came out and they averaged in the 80's, surely the ps3 fans were the ones saying a 80 isnt bad and 360 fans were calling it a flop, REGARDLESS of the fact if ps3 fanboys were hyping wack games isnt the point, what happened...happened.

your point just leads up to mine really so i really dont even know what the hell your trying to dispute me for especially given the fact that you dont know who i talk to on this site which makes your whole comment bullsh!t if you were to talk to the SAME PEOPLE i spoke to.....

EDIT: i simply said WHY they did it. im not agreeing with anything about what they did as you make it sound like i did. its like if i said WHY the trade center was hit...its not like i did it, im just explaining what i was told which makes your whole comment towards me.......irrelavent

BF got GotM? I would have picked Ninja Gaiden 2 over this trashy generic FPS crap any day. Seriously, NG2 is one of the most kick ass action games I have ever played and by far the best 360 game. IGN just has no taste giving another boring unoriginal online SHOOTAN GAEM GotM.
