Now Introducing: The Escapist's Top Games!

[Abedeus]

Fuck. Steam users need more diversity. That's embarrassing.

Too bad that you can't add some non-Steam games to Steam. Aion's GameGuard detects Steam as a rootkit if you try running it through the launcher instead of the NCSoft Launcher.

Fuck. Steam users need more diversity. That's embarrassing.

The Steam list is more diverse than the 360 one.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Wow, with all the Halo bashers on the Escapist, I'm surprised that Halo 3 was the top game. 360 top 10 list is like Generic Mainstream Game Land.

I hope this thread doesn't turn into a horrible fanboy ranting center.

 

[Kajt]

I'm surprised that World at War is on the PS3 list, while Modern Warfare isn't.

I'm surprised that World at War is on the PS3 list, while Modern Warfare isn't.

Unfortunately, Sony's site only lists games that the user has unlocked trophies for, so those are the only ones that we can total up in the list. Now that all new games are required to have trophy support, that should stop being an issue.

 

[DogofRaw]

Bah, it only confirms that PC users loves Valve's games

To be more accurate, it only confirms that Steam users love valve's games. And as steam is non-optional to play most of the games on the list, that is not suprising.
A more accurate result could be achieved by using X-fire and other in-game networking programs to record what the whole range of PCdom is up to.

Edit: Also, do the steam results Include games not activated through steam? My COD 4 is store bought and I play that enough to put it in the top ten by myself.

When the hell did you implement this?

 

[happysock]

Can I just ask WTF is falout 3 (pc) doing on the xbox 360 list lol and it's on there twice :S
The PS3 list is a little strange though as well

 

[Zerbye]

That's funny. I didn't realize that Dawn of War II was released on XBox Live...it's #18 on your XBox list.

Xbox Live profiles include all Xbox 360 games as well as all Live-enabled Games for Windows games. For some reason they track Fallout 3 as completely different games on Xbox 360 and PC.

Thanks for clearing it up, I prefer to think of the reason is people trying to put their PC copies into the xbox

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

a list for the wii would be nice, then again... there isnt that many great things out for it

isn't the wii practically bane here on the escapsit?

I get the feeling that things like crap and such would make at least 3 spots from lack of other answers.don't get me wrong,I own a wii,I just don't see much love for it here,or anywhere for that matter.

 

[speedcoreXdandy]

Wow, I did not expect to see Linger In Shadows up there, it's brilliant for what it is but it doesn't really seem to have any replay value.

 

[General Ken8]

all i have to say is wow, arkham asylum got up there awfully fast, it came out really recently

 

[AceDiamond]

Wow, with all the Halo bashers on the Escapist, I'm surprised that Halo 3 was the top game.

Yeah--maybe it kinda shows the difference between the *forum denizen* side of The Escapist, and the people who show up and read/watch the content but don't post.

Well I'm not sure if the lurkers are the kind to take the time to add their Xbox Live data to it but maybe that is the case.

-snip-

-even more snip-

What's interesting is that for every thread full of complaints about how the pursuit of and obsession with graphics are ruining gaming and there would be so many more great games if only every game didn't have to look so great and cost so much

...you get a Wii-hating thread!

I cant tell,are you bagging on me or just stating a fact you know in a place that would seem appropriate in this thread?

because I like the wii,I was just telling him not to hold his breath on an official wii-list.
