I wouldn't say any of them are must-have to be honest....

Nambassa5286d ago

Well, apart from Fallout 3, and maybe NFS. (Multiplatforms)

Bumpmapping5286d ago

Haha.Best games on that list are the multiplatforms.

Troll_Police5286d ago (Edited 5286d ago )

They're right, Modern Warfare 2 and Assassin's Creed 2 are must haves. I have them on my PS3. No Xbox exclusives are must haves this year.

RockmanII75286d ago (Edited 5286d ago )

That's funny, I don't think their are any PS3 exclusives that are 'Must Have' this holiday season.

Saaking5286d ago

Same list as most. A nearly full list of multiplats.

Nicaragua5286d ago

Dont be a chump - Killzone 2, Uncharted 2 and Demon's Souls are all must haves.

RockmanII75286d ago

Killzone 2 - Reason I said 'Holiday Season' and not year. You should already own Killzone 2.

Uncharted 2 - Not a big 3rd person shooter fan. Same reason why I don't like GTA/Gears.

Demons Souls - I already know that it will be to hard for me an I would hate it. Surprisingly enough, I enjoy winning.

Saaking5286d ago

It's your opinion man, but if you don't like TPS you're gonna miss out on a LOT of great games.

There are enough multiplats to keep Xbox 360 thriving through the holidays. It's the first half of next year that is exclusive heaven.

Maddens Raiders5286d ago (Edited 5286d ago )

GTA:EFLC
Forza 3
ODST
&
L4D2

...not sure I would call that list "must have" necessarily, but you've got to say/do something during the holiday selling season and this is what MS is doing. I'm not sure why they mentioned the other titles, as it is a bit embarrassing.

Halo3 MLG Pro5286d ago

Damn it's the Attack of the Sony trolls!!!!

-Alpha5286d ago

Learn the definition of expansions. EFLC are exclusive STANDALONE games, not expansions. Hell they feature more content than most games, and the same goes for ODST.

The fanboys attacking the 360 are hilarious this year. It was only a couple years ago that Sony was in this position but of course PS3 fans had all kinds of excuses, yet they fail to realize that the PS3 was still great back then and it's no different for the 360.

The 360 has four games you can't get on a PS3, one of them being a PC game, yet all some of you can do is knock down the games for logically incoherent excuses like "Lulz, expansion".

The PS3 is the victor in exclusives this year but to say that the 360 has no must haves this year is laughable.

Maddens Raiders5286d ago (Edited 5285d ago )

not sure this is an "attack" per se, more than just people pointing out the obvious difference between what's considered "must have" for a particular console, as opposed to games that are unique to a console and can't be played *anywhere else.

someone got a little happy with the delete button. lol

why did you guys delete my or alpha males's comments? there weren't even cross words (fanboyish) between us at all...? that's weird..

RockmanII75285d ago

@Saaking

I realize that their are a lot of great 3rd person shooters, I just don't have much fun playing them. I guess I am a very picky gamer because their are a lot of genres that I dislike.

PS - Thank you for letting me have a opinion.

iron_sheik5285d ago

It has 96% at meta and is better than all x360 exclusives

KZ2 is also an AAA - 91 at meta and so are MLB , Demon souls

you are right .nothing on x360 is worth getting in 2009 maybe but if you want the best game of 2009 then you have to get ps3 and Uncharted 2 --96% at meta and sure goty 2009

-Alpha5285d ago

I can understand HolyOrangeCows and my comments to him (even though I thought it was a fair argument we were having) but the one between you and I was much more civil. Hell I even gave you a thumbs up despite not entirely agreeing with you because you were level-headed.

Guess it was too heated lol.

Guido5285d ago

Talk about weaksauce for the 360. Hopefully they do a better job of securing some better exclusives for 2010.

How about you actually SHOW wtf you're talking about

Nacho_Z1d 22h ago

Always annoying when articles do that.

I agree with them that the tv show was a bit on the clean side. They got loads right regarding set design etc but there's room for improvement.

gold_drake1d 22h ago

i dont. it hurts my eyes. but im fairly ssensitive when it comes to that sort of stuff.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies26d ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken25d ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing6926d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker26d ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing6926d ago (Edited 26d ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt25d ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken25d ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.
