This gen had Red Dead Redemption, Arkham City, Bioshock, Mass Effect, Skyrim... Last gen was great but not a patch on this gen. The best developers really upped their game big time.
I'd hang onto the XBox 360. GTA V will be better than any next gen title that's been announced and there's still dlc for Bioshock Infinite to come out. The forthcoming XCOM and Killer IS Dead games also look promising. If you're a Street Fighter fan there's Ultra to look forward to. I'd save for the next gen console and wait a bit longer for it.
This is quite tough but here's a few: Mirrors Edge Batman Arkham Asylum Batman Arkham City Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition Mortal Kombat - Game Of The Year Edition Skyrim Skate 3 Portal 2 Driver San Francisco The first three titles on my list technically feature guns but as Batman the player never uses them and in Mirrors Edge they almost barely feature in the game.
I don't think it looks that bad really, relative to most current gen titles. Visually it's certainly no Red Dead Redemption though. It's average looking but no worse than that.
I'm enjoying Clash In The Clouds so far. It's easily worth the asking price. The combat is fun and it's satisfying to collect everything. The voxophones do give a bit more insight into the main game's story.
Some games are obviously just low rent garbage that are made on a shoestring budget by the dregs of the industry. Some games have a decent budget and are made by people who have proven that they can make great games. With this in mind I'm nominating Assassins Creed 3 as the worst game of this generation. It's total garbage and not one ounce of love or care went into it's development. It's nothing more than a cash in and there's absolutely no excuse for Ubisoft to produce such crap. Assassins Creed is a more cynical venture than even Call Of Duty. It's the equivalent of a Warhol painting. Just a soulless painting of a can of soup and Warhol laughs his way to the bank as art lovers clamber over themselves to pay fortunes for them. They don't see that he's insulting them.
I encountered two scenes with nudity. The first I believe is the strip club. That is totally avoidable. The second is part of a cut scene. If you want to know where it is so you can look away or something then you should be able to see it coming in time and it's very short. I don't want to spoil anything but like I said you'll see it coming.
