[QUOTE="BumFluff122"]

The reason for buying any console in any year are all the games on the system. Why people think "It's a new year so we have to start over" is beyond me. The reason for buying the 360 in 2009 is 2008,2007,2006 and 2005.

Pure, utter win.

Yup, because the first thing a future 360 owner is gonna do is ignore Gears 2 and buy a 3/4 year old game that has been surpassed and bettered. Sorry, no pure utter win there. Same with PS3. Resistance Fall of Man was a great launch title, but i would never recommend to somebody who just a PS3 to pick it up before a handful of new better games. Im talking about people buying 360s in the future, or now.

If you dont have a high end PC which prolly 75% of people dont, Mass Effect 2 and Alan Wake are 2 very good reasons to get 360 in 09

Mass Effect, if it remains an exclusive (which i HIGHLY doubt) will not release likely until mid to late 2010... thats a long wait. I actually found the first game really boring and gave up on it halfway as i was havin no fun.

apart from the obvious visual brilliance of KZ2... its the size and scope of the game that never ceases to impress me. I have never seen or played a game that replicated the feel of a war as good as KZ2. Playing a war in COD4 seems so much worse than it did before. Uncharted 2, God of War 3 will look awesome, but in terms of scale..... maybe not until MAG will i be overawed by a games epic ness again.

[QUOTE="frankberns"][QUOTE="nervmeister"]Halo ODST, Halo Wars, Star Ocean 4, and Ninja Blade seem like viable reasons to me.mitu123
All I see is an expansion, console (flop) RTS, JRPG that wont sell outside of japan and a ninja game that only gains any attention on game forums because of its exclusivity. If thats really youre selling point to get a 360 over a PS3, you should get back to the drawing board

That ninja game is made by an AA developer who created the 2 AA Otogi games, a shame that not a lot of people played them, such great games.

I dont see the point of hyping a game that will likely not even surpass Ninja Gaiden 2.

I got it for 30$.. a fair enough price. one of those games i really wanted to try, and for the price a good buy. Yet to beat though, R2 and now KZ2 keep stealing its attention

Yeah, you guys got Killzone 2, good for you. But having one exclusive over the 360 this year is no reason to disreguard the superior back catalogue of 360 games(Funny how you mentioned PDZ instead of Halo 3). And I really doubt there would be any hype for Infamous if it weren't exclusive. As a multiplat it would just be known as an inferior looking Prototype.

Any game made by the same devs who made the Sly Cooper series would get hype, exclusive or not.

The last PS3 exclusive that was hyped on developer name-power alone was Haze.

You can tell a bad game from a mile away. Haze always looked crappy, and i said that from day one. It was the most generic cookie cutter FPS you could imagine. Ive only heard great things about Infamous, and from what ive seen its a solid 8.5 on GS (likely a 9 on IGN, which i personally trust more).

Killzone 2 has good graphics, we get it. Stop making threads about it.

rogerjak

Why? When PC got Crysis people went on and on and on. Gears 2 AND 1? Likewise. PS3 gets something incredible and people can't brag? Sure it's a stupid behavior but if the others had the right so does the TC.

Exactly. I cant believe that RE5 gets compared to KZ2 though

All I can say is *COUGHjustwaitCOUGH* for MS to announce some new games. They announced and released Gears 2 in the same year in 2008 although that was pretty much it. Floppy_Jim
Gears 2 was announced by now. If 360 does get a solid exclusive or not this year... it will be released in the final quarter. Considering consoles are defined by their exclusives that doesnt speak too well. I hope 360 gets a killer exclusive... healthy competition equals win for the consumer
