What a waste of a feature. First off, shame on OP for cutting out the Wii section. Second off, shame on IGN AU for changing the metric at the very end of the article to "rob" the Wii of the award.

They gave Gears 2 the same ratings as Buzz TV and Hot Shot Golf...

Not sure how this can be taken seriously..

Yah the Gears 2 score is kinda BS but overall very good article and i agree with the conclusion.



Long Live SHIO!

*rolleyes* the left out PC/360 exclusive....
Left 4 Dead got a 9.0

If it's coming to more than one platform it's not exclusive...

Also where's the Wii part? It's shameless to remove the Wii section of the article.

lol this article is about games you can't play on the other console.

You can't play Left 4 Dead on the PS3 so it should be mentioned here, because it's a must buy game.

 

Nice try though.

FUCK IGN! How can they say what are must buys? And 360 has only 2 must buys? FUCK OFF IGN!



PREDICTIONS:
360 will outsell PS3 YTD for 2008. (CHECK!)
360 will have the best showing at E3 & TGS in 2009
2009 will be another year for the 360 over PS3
End OF 2009 SALES :: 360 - 40M;  PS3 - 30M; Wii - 70M

Especially when 3 of the "MUST BUY PS3" games are in such a wide genre gap is completely beyond me.

The article is about full exclusive games - not "console exclusives". There also wouldn't be any point in comparing PC with the consoles because PC would easily win.

lol@IGN.

Another totally useless crappy article.
Is their chief editor sick or something?

The 360 suffered from prematurely shooting its load. It dropped a myriad of blockbuster exclusives in 2007: Forza 2, Mass Effect, Halo 3, and Bioshock. It may have been wise to save one of them for 2008. Also, why did they not mention Left 4 Dead or Braid? I concur that the PS3's list of exclusives was more impressive, but they did not give the 360 its due credit.
