360 is almost tied with PC for full AAA titles (10 vs 11). Hermits want to count expansion packs but expansion packs are not full games. Plus they require the original title to be able to be played. Some of which were before thecurrent gen even started. Expansions should be a second sub category... example 10 AAA games and 3 AAA expansions. Same goes with VC, LIVE arcade, or map packs.


Full Games PC
1.The Orange Box,
2.World in Conflict
3.The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
4.World Soccer Winning Eleven 9
5.Call of Duty 4
6.Gears of War 9
7.Command & Conquer 3
8.GTR 2 9
9.Company of Heroes
10.BioShock
11.Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords

New 12. Crysis

Expansions
1.World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade
2.Galactic Civilizations II: Dark Avatar

Full 360 Games
1.Gears of War
2.The Orange Box
3.Halo 3
4.Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter
5.Forza Motorsport 2
6.Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas
7.Call of Duty 4
8.Perfect Dark Zero
9.Bioshock
10.The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

New 11. Assasin's Creed

360 Arcade Game
1. Puzzle Quest

Games like Mass Effect could easily turn the tide. As could games like WIC coming to 360 also.

How far back are you going into PCs past? I mean, if you took it's entire exsistence into consideration NO console touches it's number of AAAs!

Are you seriously comparing Puzzle Quest, which is out on the PC also, to be the same as Galactic Cvilizations 2: Dark Avatar which is also a standalone/expansion game. Did you actually bother doing any research before coming up with this list?

[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"]Sorry dude, expansions count.The_Ish

I wouldn't count it...they aren't full games and they are rated that way.

On the contrary. they have more content than the originals, improved graphics, more gameplay mechanics, etc. It is most certainly a full game.

How many exclusives does the 360 have?

Also, I noticed that you excluded exclusive AA titles. I wonder why.;)

I disagree expansion reviews are based off what it adds to a game. Not how it would rate as a completely new game.

I don't care if you disagree. The Dark Civilizations expansion is a STAND ALONE game. Not to mention Burning crusade has twice as much content, extra gameplay mechanics, improved visuals, etc. They are full fledged games. They count.

I agree, but I realized that basing my argument on the fact that they usually require the original game isn't very viable...so I deleted my previous comment.

If they are full fledged games why aren't they marketed that way. Still reviewed as a expansion not a full game. Shouldn't count

Expansion packs don't always have more content than the originals. That is the case for only a couple cases. Same with the improved graphics.

Lets look at something like Burning Crusade. 7 new zones, over a thousand new quests, 2 new races, 10 new levels, almost 100 hours of brand new content (NOT counting doing things more then once). How the hell can that not count but something like Gears of War, a 8 hour game (a fantastic 8 hour game mind you) does? OFCOURSE expansions count.

Not necessarily always the case, nor is it most of the time. Like I said, most expansion add entirely new ingame assets, more so than the vast majority of console games can tout. They are full fledged games.

Indeed, using Halo 3 as an example, a 6-8 hours game with updated graphics over Halo 2, some new weapons/balancing and some new features and story continutation

Sequals are pretty much the same as expansions, the onyl difference in most cases is the engine.

Numbers back you up? The 360 has fewer exlusives not even counting expansions, and nearly 5 times fewer AA titles.

Thanks for your opinion. We still have FIVE TIMES as many exclusive AA games, and from what I've seen the PC has just as many promising titles.

Some of which were before thecurrent gen even started. Expansions should be a second sub category... example 10 AAA games and 3 AAA expansions. Same goes with VC, LIVE arcade, or map packs.

Expansions don't count. You can't play an expansion unless you have main game. I don't care if they ship with more content.

What promising titles? Mass Effect .... terrific ... what else?

Not to mention next year the 360 is creamed by the PC / PS3 and possible the Wii by then somehow :P

You can whine how the system is praised, lemmings do the same thing to the sheep/cows but oh ... when thye are losing "Im so sick of hermits blah blah blah" ...

Halo 3 is a full game based off a complete redo of engine, physics, lighting, material, game mechanics, features (Forge, Video saves, etc), and was reviewed as a COMPLETE new title, which also did not require the original game from 2002. If Halo 2 expansion came I would not count it as a full game and it would not be reviewed by gamespot as such either.

well, it's the truth. how do the numbers back you up?

In AAA's. The thread is about AAA's. Not AA's... AAA's. A 1 or 2 difference is not that great seeing how I can play a very large amount of the same games on a system that costs far less to own and operate. I'll keep my 360 and stick to Rome: TW thank you. PC is losing it's 'grip' in SW, and you know it.

P.S. Rome: Total War is the greatest RTS ever invented.... FACT!

In AAA's. The thread is about AAA's. Not AA's... AAA's. A 1 or 2 difference is not that great seeing how I can play a very large amount of the same games on a system that costs far less to own and operate. I'll keep my 360 and stick to Rome: TW thank you. PC is losing it's 'grip' in SW, and you know it. Uncle_Uzi
Losing its grip? Oh please, the PC has its ups and downs. Most AAA gamse we never even see coming like WIC. There PC has always had astronomic leads in games at the end of each platform, and theres nothing to suggest that trend will change anytime soon. Especially with a record announced exclusives far surpassing any individual console, and the consoles can't even BEGIN to rival the AA games of the PC.

[QUOTE="naval"]

so if something is good, and you add an expansion pack to continue the story it should not be counted ? the why are halo 3 or kotor 2 counted ?

rexoverbey

Halo 3 is a full game based off a complete redo of engine, physics, lighting, material, game mechanics, features (Forge, Video saves, etc), and was reviewed as a COMPLETE new title, which also did not require the original game from 2002. If Halo 2 expansion came I would not count it as a full game and it would not be reviewed by gamespot as such either.

lots of game use same engine, so ? many expansions have more features than you listed, so ? halo 3 is not reviewed as a complete new title otherwsie the story wouldn't make much sense would it now ? requiring the orignal game, how does it makes another game less of a game, and how about expansion packs that are standalone ?

Halo 3 received the same review criteria that any new full IP would receive. If it is marketed as a stand alone expansion it is still an expansino not full game. The reviewer takes it as an expansion if it is marketed in that manor. Part of the reason it could get AAA is because it could be a cheap expansion, though it would of been rated much lower as a full game.

Expansions don't count. You can't play an expansion unless you have main game. I don't care if they ship with more content.Pro_wrestler

ever heard of a STAND ALONE expansion? They don't require the main game. They still have just as much content as any full fledged game too..All the Galactic Civilization "expansions" are stand alone games. They count. Opposing Fronts and Forged alliance(both AA) also are stand-alone. Not counting Burning Crusade is perfectly proposterous because that has more content than all the games on the 360 COMBINED. Just wanted to point those things out.
