What about the orange box? I think it was timed exclusives.

At the time of its release Forza Motorsports 2 was pretty good but then Forza 3 and 4 and Horizon came along and they where a lot better.  Having to chose on of three regions at the beinging of FM2 was a pretty dumb idea I'm glad that concept didn't make it into any other Forza games its almost as bad as the random used car dealships that are in GT2, GT4 and GT5.

You judge the games on the time they released.  

 

It's like saying San andreas was shit because by today's standards it would be.  

 

Or ratchet and clank is better than crash bandicoot.  Not for the time it wasn't and that's what counts.  

 

Otherwise you'd say,  sorry Microsoft your 2015 line up is shit because in 20 years the games won't be good anymore. 

I'm not saying that Forza Motorsport 2 was a bad game but since I didn't play it when it first was released and played FM3 and FM4 shortly after it I'm more aware of its flaws.  As for San Andreas that game will always be golden that is why they are keep on re releasing it.

Yes I've played every game in that line up.  2007 and 2015. Tomb raider is by far the best exclusive of this year.  By far. 


TR is great so far but it's not the best exclusive by far. Halo is better. I know it's opinions and i won't argue. Shidddddddddd I forgot Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey came out in 07. You can't beat that lineup. It's not even nostalgia. 

I looked and saw a Dec release for LO could've sworn it was released during spring.

 

http://m.ign.com/articles/2008/02/06/lost-odyssey-review it says Feb of 08. I remember now because my dumbass ex girlfriend got it for me as a gift i requested for my birthday.

Another true 360 exclusive from 2007 that is pretty good was Beautiful Katamari.

2007 was the best year ever in gaming, Wii 360 and PC all had massive games that year, I feel PS3 is the only one that didnt have a good year.
Oh and by the way Forza 2 launched in 2007 with a metacritic of 90 ;)

I can my opinion either.  2007 had a great PGR.  This year had forza for the nth time.  I wonder what would be preferred this year.  A new PGR or a new forza?  PGR wins all day long.  

 

2007 had an epic halo vs this year's mediocre by series standards.  Halo 3 wins.  

 

2007 had the game of the year Bioshock which was an epic.  This year xbox had what,  old games re-released?  Bioshock wins.  

 

2007 had mass effect.  An epic rpg vs this year's fable legends thats not going to even release this year.  Mass effect wins.  

 

I don't actually believe you guys think this year is better than 2007 for the xbox.  That year was just so good.  This year was a bit meh.

Yeah you can totally have your opinion and all that jazz but trying to pass off a meta site as a fact of quality is subjective in the end.

You think 2007 was Xbox's year for a last gen system and I didn't think sit was as good as 2011. This also makes me wonder, if the golden years for Xbox were 3 measly years and years that have long since passed, then what does that say for future years for the current system, really shit ones?. I mean will next year and the year after that and the one following also be meh?. Are you even invested in an X1 this gen at all?.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

Well I haven't played Rise of the Tomb Raider yet but since I liked the one from 2012 I'm pretty sure that I will like it better then Bioshock, Mass Effect and Halo 3.  But I doubt I will like it better then FM6 that game keeps on getting better most of the DLC cars have been golden so far plus I'm sure there will be at least a couple of DLC tracks.
