† The Joker Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 As voted for by the UK public, Playstation's official UK magazine has released a list of the top 40 PS3 games in 2010:40: 2010 FIFA World Cup39: Medal of Honor38: Ruse37: Sports Champions36: Scott Pilgrim VS the World35: Toy Story 334: Army of Two - The 40th Day33: Just Cause 232: Star Wars - The Force Unleased II31: GTA: Episodes from Liberty City30: The Sims 329: Blur28: Tom clancy's Hawx 227: Singularity26: Deathspank25: Lego Harry Potter years 1-424: WWE Smackdown VS Raw 201123: Modnation Racers22: Vanquish21: Rock Band 320: Dead Rising 219: Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit18: Super Street Fighter IV17: Bayonetta16: Enslaved - Odyssey to the West15: Mafia II14: Demon's Souls - Black Phantom Edition13: Final Fantasy Xiii12: Bioshock 211: F1 201010: Assassin's Creed Brotherhood09: Castlevania - Lords of Shadow08: Fallout New Vegas07: Battlefield - Gran Turismo 506: Gran Turismo 505: FIFA 1104: God of War III03: Call of Duty - Black Ops02: Heavy Rain01: Red Dead RedemptionSo, there we have it. The games the UK fans feel are the greatest releases of 2010. I expected Bioshock 2 to be higher, but overall I do agree with the list. But thats just me, what about everyone else? Agree or disagree?

Nero D. Ace Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 LOL!! FF13 at number 13.jokes aside, there are some REALLY crappy games on this list even though it's the Top 40. just goes to show you that game developers can't even release 40 good games in a year.

† The Joker Posted January 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 true enough, I had to take a double take on occassions when typing this up from my Ps3 mag. Hopefully 2011 will be a better year for Title Releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Yeah I don't agree with any top games charts that list Final Fantasy XIII as a 'top game' considering from what I have 'played' it's been nothing more than a CG movie with the false sense of playing by occasionally getting to move the character from point a to point b and being able to upgrade the character but only up till it blocks you from advancing till you reach a certain point in the game therefore preventing you from ever actually upgrading more than called for in whatever area the characters happen to be in.I stick with my original quote that Final Fantasy XIII should have been Square Enix's next CG movie release instead of a game. It practically already is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real shocker for me was seeing Heavy Rain at number 2. For a game that people either loved or hated, it did far better than expected.

AaronScythe Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Leave FF13 alone, it was an innovative genre idea, the Rail shooter cross rpg. - Rail RPG.jokes (or is that seriousness) aside...That 2010 fifa world cup that came in at 40th... sorta made me think they mustve only made about 40 games for the year. I've seen that in the bargain pile in almost every shop ive been to in the past month or so.I also still dont get the fascination with red dead redemption. To me it feels like a stripped down GTA. Your horses are a restricted version of cars, The terrain is more boring (Whoever started this grit in gaming trend can burn in eternal hellfire), you have less guns, there are no boats (besides the stagecoach glitch, practically a raft then...) And of course you have no aircraft.How does a fully stripped down game by all aspects, place at number one like that?Especially when you consider things like black ops being one of the most downloaded games via torrents (them tracking that was illegal btw). It makes you start to think people buy these lists out all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shade_13 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 About a game stripped down, why not consider GtaIV a restricted San Andreas then? Less cars, space, options - nothing can compare to the vast gameplay SA had to offer years ago. But is GtaIV worse than SA? Nope. Are modern graphics the only reason for that? Absolutely not. Its just the fact that developpers sacrificed something to improve the rest. This was concerning "quantity vs quality" question, now about Red Dead. Firstly what did you expect from a western? Vehicles and aircraft? The priority was to create a game which held the antourage of wild west within it, with horses, bullets flying everywhere and a wild desert. It was supposed to please gamers who like all this, and it seems, the game was a success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronScythe Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 I do consider GTA4 as inferior as well.The main problem they have is trying to make things too realistic, it seriously effects the fun level of a game.Oh, and I would be willing to believe people liked it more, if I saw more REPLAY VALUE in it, and a little less blatant first DLC copy (Red dead Undead vs Ned's Zombie island)Meh, in the end it all comes down to quantity vs quality as you said. Too bad they count quantity of pixels as more important over quality of gameplay nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shade_13 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 I gotta ask what you like in gta series most? For me personally story is the main criteria, then the gameplay, then all the rest (and replayability doesnt really matter, maybe cause im a pc gamer im not used replaying the game after beating it once.) Hence Gta4 was a delightful game for me, at first i was concerned about grapics being the basic ambition as well, but it turned out new looks didnt spoil the game at all. Still old good Gta with awesome cut scenes between missions, lots of characters and interesting dialogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronScythe Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 What I liked in the GTA series most was the sandboxing. If you really didnt want to do a mission straight away, you could screw around if you so wanted, with not a care in the world.GTA4 giving you a phonecall from a random person to go do a menial task every 5 minutes, sort of ruined that.While in san andreas you could go around knifing people, go sniping, fly around, float around or drive a host of cars, gta4 just had to try to change things, and make you feel like you still HAD to do something while you wanted to do nothing (quote my mate "piss off roman, I want to play on the swing")Biggest complaint though, how the cars worked. I expected to be driving a Brick, not a slab of jelly. The cars were all way too floaty in controls.One of the things I enjoy most about a racing game for example, is when you feel the weight of the car as the back end snaps back in after your drift.No such luxury in gta4.IMO, the cars performed even less realistic in gta4. They were slow, they would slam the whole shell sideways on the lightest of turns, and they handled in general like someone left air bubbles in the power steering.As for story, its fine and all, but most of us only did the story to get to more stuff to screw around with. Once you had the airport in the desert in SA, you were set. Completing the rest after that was just because you felt close enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
