2009 - List Wars [HD Console Edition] - PS3 vs. X360 - [56k okay!...for now]

The thread will be separated as follows:
GameRankings Score Totals
GameSpot Score Totals
Retail Exclusives [PS3, X360]
Retail Multiplats [PS3, X360]
Downloadable Exclusives [PSN, XBLA]
Downloadable Multiplats [PSN, XBLA]
Shared Multiplats [PS3, X360, PSN, XBLA]

Scoring will be separated as follows:
AAAA=Platinum [100]
AAA=Gold [90-99]
AA=Silver [80-89]
A=Bronze [70-79]

If both GameRankings and GameSpot scores fall under 70, the game is removed from the list.
Games listed in the first multiplatform section indicate that the game is released solely on one of the competing platforms within the given year; concurrent multiplatform games released within the year will be listed in the second multiplatform section.
Games in the downloadable section(s) will work in a similar manner.
For the sake of consistency, we'll be adhering to NA release dates only.
If there's anything missing/incorrect about any of the lists, let me know so I can add/update it.
NOTE: Removed the Wii/PC for the time being. May add them back in a later edition of List Wars.

Thread is open to user debate/discussion. Please feel free to contribute.

I love tha 360 lineup! How can anyone claim that it has no games this year??:o

AAAA scores should be platinum.

Also, Bioshock 2 should be on the list somewhere, same with Modern Warfare 2

Well, which are those amazing exclusive RPG's that are coming to PS3 ?

I can name 15+ asmazing exclusive to PC/360RPG's that are coming to 360 though, plus 4-5 exclusives

Mass Effect 2 is really missing from the list

Also FF13vs could well be a 2011 game

damn x360 have many pc360 multiplats and ps3 have many exclusives I want to play....agff9

[QUOTE="agff9"]damn x360 have many pc360 multiplats and ps3 have many exclusives I want to play....jwsoul

Well, goes both ways. That is the reason for me not to ever upgrade my PC, since i can play everything i need on my 360, and not miss on its excluisives like the JRPGs, Fable etc

Plus has analog pad controls i prefer (in fact i can't ever go back to playing any game with a keyboard/mouse, unless i can't help it)

Heavy Rain, Katamari Forever, and MAG have already been confirmed for 2009.chapnzaba

Yes, but i just don't care much for them.

For example if games like Gears 2, KZ2, MGS4 etc never released, would have made zero difference to me

The ultimate achievement for me, is keeping me saves of my leveled up heroes at various stages of a memorableadventure, so the games that can't give me that are rather useless to me

Actually FF13vs has been confirmed to arrive farafter FF13, so to see it in 2009 in US is like zero chance or worst

2 Rare games sweet, I bet it's Perfect Dark 2 and Killer Instinct 3, and one of them is going to be AAA on Gamespot(most likely Perfect Dark 2).

I would make the list early 2010 one too, since there is no way to know if all those games will come in 2009, just to be safe

BTW i have a link that shows FF13vs will come in late 2010, if we are lucky

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/ffxiii-versus-on-hold-says-nomura

.

So, FF13vs on hold until FF13 is finished, which means maybe it takes multiple more years until its release

Nice thread, good lists. :)

That's a good start, but you are missing a lot.

Cross Edge got the lowest score possible even in Japan, 6/10 !!!!!!

But i guess on PS3 even 1/10 games are not 10/10, right ? I mean 400$ for a system should add some points to those crappy titles

Disgaea 3 is that game that looks like a PS1 game (well some PS1 games actually look 10000x better) ?

Also i like freedom and choice in my games, so i like WRPGs far mroe than any JRPG, meaning that even with Fable 2 alone, 360 would have a better lineup of RPG's than anything PS3 could ever come up with

Seriously, don't argue RPG's with Obamanian or even game libraries, you will leave thoroughly perplexed.

[QUOTE="-Snooze-"]Cross Edge and Disgaea are better then ANY 360 RPG this year. Fact.aaronmullan

If you liek them fine, i like 2D RPG's myself, when they have art in them, and Diagaea art is some of the worst i have seen in gaming, ever

Cross Edge seems like one of the most mediocre titles i have seen too, unless you can convince me otherwise, i am open to suggestions, but i would rather buy Demon Soul which looks 10000x better than those overly japaneze titles

That's a good start, but you are missing a lot.

GundamGuy0

I just popped in to see if Comet Crash was updated , and yes it is !

Things look promising for the ps3/psn combo in the next few months (especially psn). I wonder if PixelJunk Eden Encore will begetting any reviews ?
