[QUOTE="dsmccracken"][QUOTE="stray720"] Were there ANY AAA games on 360 in 2007 that weren't FPS? Ok, Gears was a TPS, but that was last year. Bioshock, Halo 3, COD4 (multiplat, but regardless) and Mass Effect (A or AA really), which... is an RPG shooter. Assasins Creed is debatably AAA but that's multiplatform anyway. That leaves... um...somebody help me out here.Blue Dragon, the great 360 JRPG hope, scored... what... 6.0 on GS? GameRankings lists it at 77%.
I'm not trying to knock FPS, Icangetinto*maybe*1or2ayear. But I'd rather have AA variety on PS3 than more of the same on 360.

Now this is where you lose me. You bring up the 360 AAAs, lump them all in as shooter (including Mass Effect which is just wrong), then you compare it to the "variety" you get with the PS3 AAs. But, if AAs are in the conversation, wouldn't you have to bring up the AAs for the 360 too, which are not all shooters and cancel out the "variety" factor? I guess that would've been inconvenient to your argument, right?
Like... GRAW 2? or the Darkness? Both shooters *and* multiplats for that matter.How about F.E.A.R.? Or Splinter Cell? Ok, there's Forza and PGR4. But aside from the multiplatform sports games and Guitar Hero/RockBand, 360's A and AA lineup is just more and more me-too shooters. If I'm missing something, please, enlighten me. For that matter, I'd love to know how Mass Effect isn't a shooter, aside from the RPG elements.
You are indeed missing something. Missing Eternal Sonata, Viva Pinata, Dead Rising, Kameo, DOA4, and others. Mass Effect combat LOOKS like a shooter, but it is not, no quick twitching involved. Try it.
