For those that are bitching. Remember some of these things please before you continue. Sales are not the same thing as quality. We all know this for a fact. Great games go on to have mediocre sales, while some lower quality games sell shit loads. Reputation matters and hopefully it will always matter. It serves to encourage developers to make better games. They deserve the boost. Just as much as the developer deserves their sequel to a shitty game to get little or no attention. Portable games deserve to be excluded, because they are not the pinnacle of the genre. In the same way a made for TV movie is not in the same league as a Hollywood blockbuster. To get it on a portable certain things must be lost.
This thread is just full of poorly constructed belly aching. Red Steel 2 are you shitting me I have not heard anyone talking about this game, and I know a lot of people that own the console. This one is not even on the radar. The same with the new Mario game. In fact I would dare say that this generation has probably already seen its premier title in this specific genre. That would be LittleBigPlanet. I really enjoyed Assassins Creed, but even I freely confess the replay is quite lacking. In other words the first game had some real problems. Specifically the poor controls.
All in all this was a good list. Games that are expected to be of a high caliber. They are both very popular and have a reputation for pushing the envelope. So what is all the bitching about.
