Everything that was at E3 is on the internet.
Everything that was at E3 is on the internet.
And how many of those games did you get to play on the internet?
This is just purely opinion though. We can make another after we play them all.
Typo or gross negligence? Next Generation’s top 20 games of E3 list doesn’t mention Metroid Prime 3. Nor does the site list the title in the honorable mentions.
Now I’m as guilty a Nintendo fanman as the next guy, but this is ludicrous. Even the hardcore gaming blogs, like Destructoid, gushed like a schoolgirl over the look and feel of Metroid Prime. I have yet to read any negatives about the title other than Chris Kohler’s observation that some of the in-game buttons are a bit confusing. I thought I saw the respective “fanboy” blogs over at Joystiq praising the title too, but I could have been hallucinating after my late night binge on Ralston’s 15-year-old Nintendo cereal that I keep in my cupboard.
Several great titles do make the list however, including Mario Galaxy (I would have been comfortable subbing this out for Metroid), Rock Band, Mass Effect and LittleBigPlanet (the fact that this uber-interactive game isn’t on a console like the Wii is a sin against man).
Why a game that might redefine the control scheme for one of the more popular genres out there today is not on the list is a mystery to me. I’d love to hear the editors over there explain why.

the only people ive seen complain about certain nintendo games not being on the list are nintendo fanboys and fanboy bloggers like infendo. tacking on waggle controls doesnt all of a sudden make the MP3 10x better. the list from next-gen is definitely the better one than others out there. these guys take gaming seriously. have you listened to their podcasts? they have interviews with some pretty serious people in the gaming industry which, after reading the responses here, most of you would find boring. look through their articles. you wont find silly headlines like "mario strikers prepared to strike on X day" like you would on ign, 1up, gamespot, etc.
if you dont like the list then create your own top 20 list. seriously, i wanna see what games make it into your list.
