[ALL] Your Top 10 (because 5 isn't enough) XBLA & PSN games

[Twigg4075]

I thought Seth's thread was pretty lame pointing out XBLA only with a half assed "Feel free to mention PSN games as well" at the last second. I think both of these services have tons of creative and original downloadable games that are exclusive to their respective consoles. XBLA had a one year head start and mostly just had old arcade ports ofr that first year or so. There were a few gems like Wik, Geometry Wars and Cloning Clyde but it was mostly Gauntlet, Smash TV and others of that ilk. But that was the point in it's infancy, hence the title Xbox Live ARCADE. It eventually grew to the behemoth that it is no featuring some of the coolest games you'll play on any system, $60 retail disc or otherwise. I don't think that anyone can argue that if it weren't for XBLA (which technically started on the original Xbox) we wouldn't have PSN, Wii or 3DS downloadable games today.
Sony took what Xbox was doing and came right out of the gate in 2006 with new and innovative games of it's own, like the PixelJunk series and Everyday Shooter.

I'll also provide a link to the wiki page that lists EVERY gasme ever released on each service to help refresh your memories.

Like I said, THEY AREN"T IN ORDER yet. SC will probably be my number one game on XBLA. I just started listing ten games and then kept listing them. Eventually I will edit my list and put them in the proper order, hopefully with brief description as to why I like them so much.

why not just take off the numbers and honorable mention

the not in order makes it sound like the 1-10 are the ones your going to relist in order

Because that's the format I'll be using. That list is basically just the order in which those games were released because I just went down the wiki page.

I started doing some editing but nowhere near done.

 

[Senser81]

Do these games need to be releases from this year, or just games we played this year?

LOL.

I remember when I showed everyone here about Dungeon Hunter Alliance after I watched the trailer on a shitty ps3 indie site.

i noticed twiggs XBL list is significantly longer than his PSN list...would one have to assume that means XBL has a larger selection of better games?

It's like a handful more but yeah, I've definitely played more on Xbox.

 

[Buzzman]

No Deathspank Twiggy?

I remember that too and I remember laughing at you and thinking it was a turn based RPG with nothing but magic spells. Little did I know it would turn me on to one of my favorite genres; dungeon crawlers.

No Deathspank Twiggy?

Deathspank is awesome but is multiplatform.

 

[Buzzman]

The thing with Dungeon Hunter is that site I found it on blows. I havent gone back to it n awhile because nothing was worth reading.

 

[Twigg4075]

I wish DH would drop to at least $15 on Vita because I would gladly buy that shit again. It is much more fun co-op though.

 

[SethMode]

You are exhausting and a borderline weirdo sometimes. I apologize to you for not giving PSN a fair enough shake. It's just not part of my sinister agenda to try and convince people to buy one product over another.

 

[Bomberooski]

when are we co-oping DH: Alliance Twigg?

 

[Twigg4075]

when are we co-oping DH: Alliance Twigg?

When it drops to $15 and we can play on the Vita.

 

[Twigg4075]

Somehow I forgot Journey on PS3. WTF?

I'm still updating my lists so don't pay any attention to the rankings.
