Burnout 3 was amazing. 10 for me, at the time. Dead Space 2. No way. Ever. |

"You're a bit bored of gaming. That is your fault, not the gaming industry."
They should print that at the bottom of every review from now on. Save people reaching for the rose tinted specs every time they burn themselves out on gaming and start dribbling about how it was better before this gen. -
I've had DS2 sat under my TV - still sealed - since its release. I loved the first one but just cannot bring myself to start the second. -

@mowgli GTA IV was massively boring. Online multiplayer was a great addition though. -
See I, and several (the majority of?) publications thought it was incredible. The way a large section of this forum (not saying you) seem to believe this fact to be a giant conspiracy can get slightly grating. -

I know this is your go to response, but it doesn't really work on me. I love games, old and new, and don't dispute for a second that this gen has pumped out some wonders.

I don't simply discard older games though. There are dozens, maybe even hundreds of games from the last generation that are still utterly brilliant, and I find it impossible to believe that only them are worthy of top marks. -

It's also pretty grating when your opinion is discounted because of some imagined bias towards older games.

Shit I'm actually agreeing with mowgli, this is greatly disturbing. -

Registered 17 years agoIn terms of outright gaming fun I've loved every generation but I find it hard to argue against this generation being the best there has ever been.
360 and Pc, Wii, DS, PSP... So so much fun -

You're almost certainly right, but to my mind there's also a bit of developers giving the likes of Edge what they've always asked for. Open world sandboxes, non-linear storytelling, emergent gameplay. Wheras what we got in a lot of cases is poorer storytelling, broken difficulty curves and emergent backwards-flying dragons.

@mowgli I think it was all hype to be honest. But everyone loves San Andreas too and I didn't get into that one much either. -

Registered 14 years agoTerrible list. Now for my personal (probably equally terrible in every other persons opinion) list:
The Last Express
Baldur's Gate 2
Fallout 2
Planescape Torment
Deus Ex
KotOR
Mass Effect 2
SSX 3
Braid
Journey
Half Life 2
The World Ends With You
I'm sure i'm forgetting a couple of things. -

Registered 14 years agoDead Space 2 is probably one of the only ones there that I would give a ten strangely. It just completely clicked with me, I never replay games but i did that like 3 times in a month and it got better each time. -

Meh, when I was some random age lower than 10 I imagined these mind-blowing games which could possibly exist in the magical future. Fuck me if Skyrim, Borderlands (2) et al have actually beaten what the kid version of me could imagine was possible. In some ways I think we've just become pickier and quicker to put down things for not instantly sating our desires.

deus ex
Half life
half life 2
Halo
Halo 3
Bioshock
Bayonetta
Kotor
Mario 64
Rome Total War
Think that is it. Could say a hundred or more 9s but a rarely find a game worth a 10. -

Registered 17 years agoFor me galaxy outdoes mario 64. It's an excellent game but the two galaxy games are just joyous. -
Sadly I have not played either Galaxy games. I need to. I will one day get a wii filthy cheap just to play both. -

Registered 16 years agoYeah forgot Mazza galaxy - I can see why people would have that as a 10, but I got bored half way through -
@disusedgenius for me the technical achievement of 64 and it's place as the first 3D mario makes it feel like a better game overall than it was. Sure it was great, but on sheer entertainment and fun value galaxy 2 has no equal for me.
