The best console of the last generation?


The best system of the last generation was the Xbox 360 in my opinion. The Wii and PS3 had sold entries throughout its lifespan, but nothing compared to the Xbox 360.  The last generation the Ps2 absolutely destroyed the original Xbox in sales. The Ps2 also broke several records for the best-selling system. The Xbox did beat the GameCube but it just wasn’t enough to beat the ps2. The Xbox 360 decided to go all in with its console and games. The hour glass design was something new and special. It was way different from the cube or box look from the last generation of consoles.  The Xbox 360 choose to go with a new color scheme of white and gray, instead of the black and green look of the original Xbox. The game to kick off its new campaign was gears of war. It was a phenomenally new game and gave a new direction in the genre of third-person shooters.  It also produced Halo 3 one of the greatest games of all time. They also had another great game in Forza which helped catapult it into the lead with better over all games during this generation. Not only were they have some of the best exclusive games to date at the time, they also had exclusive deals. They had the deal with call of duty were all DLC was available a day or days before ps3 or the Wii.  This gave it a competitive advantage against the competition because the hottest thing during this generation was call of duty. They also had smaller entries that were fun game and widen the horizon for the Xbox 360. For example, castle crashers, crackdown, left 4 dead, dead rising, and fable. There are tons of others games of could have added but those included were the best-selling games on the consoles. These games out most ps3 titles. They sold close to 2 to 3 times more copies of there exclusive game then ps3. The Wii actually at the time was also doing better then the Ps3. The Wiis introduction of the motion senor remote took a blaze in the market. The other downfall of the ps3 was the price it was a way higher price than the Xbox. The launch of the Ps3 also had lackluster games which held it back also. The only incentive to buy the ps3 was for the backwards compatibility with ps2 games. The Xbox overall won that generation battle hands down, but what do you think the better console was comment your opinion?

My thoughts on Madden

EA sports madden really is a horrible game. I’m not just saying this to bash the game and nitpick on it, I’m truly concerned on the direction this franchise is taking. I say the turn in bad gameplay happened in Madden 17. The new engine in madden really improved the game and it took slow and repetitive animations and replaced them when smooth more realistic gameplay. The fast players felt fast the slow players felt slow and everything was more balanced. Then they add the catch controls which were Run After Catch (RAC) which lets you run after you catch the ball, possession which makes the receiver get the ball and find the ground or toe tap for sideline catches, aggressive which makes the receiver go the ball in a certain direction. These three new catching abilities changed madden and was the biggest change it has had in a while. Then what ruined everything was Ultimate team.   Ultimate team is where you can acquire the best football players from any time and bring them together o...

Why was Halo so great?

Why was halo so great? The halo series has produced timeless videogames year in and year out. (except halo 4 and beyond.) The first entry in the series was Halo combat evolved or Halo CE. It released November, 15 2001 along with the new Xbox. Halo revolutionized gaming at its core. During this time in history most of major first-person shooters were played on PC. (Personal Computer) At that point in time consoles did not really produce a good first-person shooter yet. When Halo it started a wildfire for first person shooter after it, and changed the gaming industry at its core.   Halo CE brought us this badass character that you took control of to fight tons of convent enemy’s and other key side characters to make it a well-balanced story. Not only did it bring a well-balanced story, it also brought us the halo ring, which pushed the Xbox power to its limits with a vivid world and landscape. Then 3 years later Halo 2 was released and it was better, if not as good, as the first ...

What happen to Halo?

What happened to halo? The halo series has produced timeless videogames year in and year out. It made the Xbox and Xbox360 consoles what they are and what they were. Each Halo game 1 through 3 and Halo Reach was one of the best selling on the Xbox or Xbox 360 consoles.   Halo changed the console gaming scene and revolutionized gaming forever, but all this success was created by Bungie. When Bungie announced it was moving away from Halo and would continue to work on different projects the problems started. Halo 4 was going to be shipped out with the new Xbox One. The new developer of Halo was 343 Industries. It was a group of new developers with some old staff from bungie. It was going to be there first game every and honestly it was okay. They went with a more edger, sharper, and more retro design which rubbed some die-hard fans the wrong way. They also added all new character designs for everyone on the Halo roster. It improved on the forge, but struggled in multiplayer. ...
