The Arcade Random Thoughts Thread

IGN put out the list of the top 25 PS3 games. I need to buy 13 games apparently:

Portal 2
Infamous 2
Little Big Planet 2
God of War 3
Bioshock
Catherine
Vanquish
Dead Space 2
Fallout New Vegas
Valkyria Chronicles
Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time
Demon's Souls
Burnout Paradise

Catherine? Really? I also find it hard to believe Vanquish is in there. Valkyria Chronicles by no FF13? New Vegas is better than Fallout 3? I also think it's so dumb when they have these lists and several of the games are multiplatform. 7 of your 13 are. I guess because on 360 they'd be lucky to come up with 10? Where is the full list and where are the lists for 360 and Wii? I did a Google search and only came up with their lists from 2007.

I have all of those games except Catherine, Fallout and VC.

I picked up Gears 2 today to give it a play through. Just getting ready for some Gears 3 action.

EA's servers suck ass. Can't connect to BF:BC2.

I was having troubles last night. Wouldn't let me connect at all.

I still need a bunch of Horde related cheevos so if you want to play let me know.

I'll play through the campaign probably tomorrow. Then I'd probably be down for that later this weekend.

I don't know about this weekend. It is Labor Day. Monday would be cool though.

Yeah that's fine. Since I have Monday off I was kind of including that in "weekend" anyways.

Final Fantasy 13 wasn't great IMO. It's too linear compared to the others, and the battle system is too restrictive. I'm not surprised it didn't make the list.

Also, Fallout: New Vegas > Fallout 3 IMO. I've enjoyed my time playing through NV's main story more than I ever did with 3.

I still can't get on MP in BC2. Quite annoying.

Twigg, here's the article with the complete list (which I believe Fallout 3 is higher than New Vegas but I own it and loved beating it so it wasn't on my list)

I know Pasta Padre said that all of EA's servers on Xbox went down yesterday but I know at least Madden's vame up about five hours later. Maybe they are still working on the others?

Oh, ok. Any word on lists for the other consoles?

Pretty crappy list if you ask me. 13 games are multiplatform? Get teh fuck out. Where's Heavenly Sword? Killzone 2 or 3?

But what should I expect from IGN?

Riiiiiight. Until you decide you'd rather play Age of Empires or whatever it's called.
