Ah, Phantom, the future of digital distribution... :)

Elven65545d ago

I think they call it a PC now. :)

Jokes aside, the N Gage probably could have done better if they the made it more appealing or a full on handheld unit without the phone capablilites, kind of like what Apple is trying to do.

Gizmodo had potential, unfortunetly no product can survive admist corporate corruption.

s8anicslayer5545d ago

Virtual Boy, that thing was rediculous! Nintendo what were you thinking?

Cryos5544d ago

a reasonable, well thought out, non-fanboi list......

I'm impressed

mint royale5545d ago

TOTALLY AWESOME REPLY MAN THE 360 SHOULD BE NUMBER 1 AND STUFF

Snatcher5545d ago

The 10 best videogames consoles in history mate.

mint royale5545d ago

maybe. Personally for me it is

1.Nintendo 64
2.Playstation 2
3.DS
4.Gamecube
5.Dreamcast
6.Xbox
7.Wii
8.PS3
9.SNES
10.360

All of those consoles are masterpieces.

ApocalypseShadow5545d ago

you're saying 360 is on the 10 best consoles in history?

that's cool.as long as it's not on the list of

"10 best **working** consoles in history."

i would be upset then.carry on.

apocalypse................

GiantEnemyCrab5545d ago

Shadow my 360 works just fine and never had a problem. The worst console hardware in history for me has been the PS2..

Your loss if you miss out on the 360 but it is easily in the top 10 of the best consoles ever.

Snatcher5545d ago (Edited 5545d ago )

I played Call of Duty 4, then suddenly the sound was gone, I quit the game, then the screen turned black. I restarted my PS3, but...the machine could not read the disc. I tried another game, still did not work.

The second time. I was playing Littlebigplanet, then suddenly the screen freezed. I restarted the PS3, but the tv screen was black. Tried everything, but could not get it to work.

I hope it does not break again. I play my PS3 many hours everyday. The 360 did not broke on me, but I hardly play it now, because I got PS3 November 2008. I played 360 hell of a lot when I did not have PS3.

"The PS3 did not broke on me"

???

Edit it so your story at least seems believable.

no-spin5545d ago

You truly are a troll
PS2 had problems within industry standards, 360 is a electronics fiasco
everyone i know has experienced this failure including me
MS ex-employees called out the knowledge of the crappy hardware, or do you think the 3 year warranty was an act of good faith?
if the 3 year warranty was not done, MS would have had to recall that piece of crap you call one of the best consoles.
Games are great and live is expensive, but good
The hardware is crap
and your post is a giant mountain of crap

TheAntiFanboy5545d ago (Edited 5545d ago )

The fact that the 360 still makes sales despite the RRoD fiasco, and the fact that a majority of people who suffer RRoD still remain loyal to the incredibly unreliable thing, is a testament to the console's viability and the strength of its warranty.

I've gone through what feels like a million 360's, and yet I still play it as proudly as my other consoles. You know why? Because the amount of fun that I have with it is worth the frustration caused by the RRoD.

Firstkn1ghT5544d ago (Edited 5544d ago )

My 360 has failed me once and my ps2 has failed me 4 times. Yeah! Sony ain't getting my money anymore.

nothere4135544d ago

I don't believe you even have a PS3.

They don't break like that. You're just trying to bash the PS3 because you have nothing better to do.

Mine had a Blu-Ray drive problem one time and I sent it in and got it back about 2 weeks later.

That's all.

atari 2600...im sorry i had to say it.

Substance5545d ago

For it's time, it was an awesome system. I probably didn't know any better, but I remember staying up till 5 A.M. playing Maze Craze, Yar's Revenge and Dodge 'Em with my brothers.

It may suck now, but back then it was terrific.

free3sixty5545d ago

wow and none of the worst consoles were so bugged like the PS3.

weekly updates/ patches..90% game installs.. thats so last gen :/

agent0245545d ago

eat a d!ck bot.

dvd 9, rrod...fck the threesixty.

Queers of War5545d ago

and neither of them had a 33% failure rate like the 360, nor do they damage the media storage devices (like to 360 does to DVDs). not to mention the risk of overheating. the 360 should be on this list, #1 i might add.

ThatCanadianGuy5545d ago

"weekly updates/ patches..90% game installs.. thats so last gen :/"

Uhh..none of those things were on last gen consoles..

However,360 still uses a disc tray..
Even the Wii is more advanced then that..

heyheyhey5545d ago

yeah cause i was always downloading patches for my PS2 games...

umm.. NO! dumbass, those weren't around last gen

think before you type retard

JasonPC360PS3Wii5544d ago

PS3 should get a "good effort" award

nothere4135544d ago

Don't feed the troll, please.

No one is dumb enough to think that there were patches last gen.

GiantEnemyCrab5545d ago

Ugh, look at you... how original.

I disgree. The 360 is among the greatest consoles ever made, hardware aside. Game selection, feautres and online.

Snatcher5545d ago

GiantEnemyCrab + bubbles mate. 360 is a great console with great online and tons of great games that kept me entertained for over 2 years.

Sez 5545d ago

my 360 is going on 4 years now. never had a problem with it. other than the loud noise it makes.(which isn't a problem for me) for me the ps2 was the worst. after getting DRE three times and having to pay to get it fixed twice. i have never had system die on me since.

Two Decades Later, the Original Splinter Cell is Still a Masterpiece

They don't make games like this anymore.

Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.

Jingsing5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

Agreed with those sentiments. The quality of the CPU controlled characters make or break a stealth game and they are pretty poor in all the Splinter Cell games by today's standard. This is what led me to playing Spies vs Mercs all the time in later games just to get a better stealth experience from a real person. Arguably Sony are making better stealth games albeit not Tom Clancy stuff.

TheProfessional5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

You should stick with fortnite or one of the countless bloodborne style games then. What a joke.

rlow15d ago

I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.

vgvill5d ago

They are making a remake, I think. I loved the original game when it was released, but I tried to play it again in recent years and just couldn't get on with it. The same with the older Hitman games.

PrecursorOrb5d ago

Yeah chaos theory still holds up though I gotta say. If you’re a fan of the series I highly suggest you go back to that one. Ubi has said they are remaking sc for “modern audiences”. I don’t have a lot of faith for the future of that company

Chocoburger4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.

Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!

A Matter Of Trust: What The Game Industry Should Do To Win Gamers Back

Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.

anast11d ago

Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.

Garethvk10d ago

How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.

anast10d ago

Wait until release. Watch Gameplay. Exercise patience.

Garethvk10d ago

But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.

1nsomniac10d ago

Get rid of the suits in the industry and job done!!

Garethvk10d ago

They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.
