Holiday Buyers Guide 2009: Multiplatform Musthaves

[z3Carlos]

bull =o= none of those bad ass games are on wii

[vilane421]

i got 2 of these games, and 1 i've already rented and beat. most games ARE overrated.

i always come back to demon's souls, MGO and socom confrontation. and i have like 18 games...

red dead redemption dont let me down.

[elisadewaldth]

Excellent game I especially like 2:31 to 3:51 I got it for free here 115 games . c o m There are all the latest playstation 3 games available there I couldnt beleive that they are all totally free excellent game and site

[gvd11]

what about mw2?

[IchatRus1]

Yeah "Any Platform" other than PC and Wii

[couldnotdunitbetter]

@IchatRus1 Which system(s) performs best on Morgan Webb's musthaves? WHY??? MAXED PC CONFIGURATION: a)Intel® Core™i7 Processor with Intel®X58+ICH10R chipset(3 PCI Express® x16 slots) b)Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor with NVIDIA®nForce®780i SLI® chipset which is 2 to 3 - way SLI®(up to 3 NVIDIA®SLI® VGA cards) c)AMD® Phenom™X4 quad-core processor with 2-way ATI®CrossFireX™ chipset(up to 2 ATI® Radeon VGA cards) d)other PC mods(examples?) OR Console: e)PS3 f)XBox 360

[Suiton1]

a) | | TONS of money + you're out of date once the | technology leaves the lab and hits the | market. |

V

d)

OR:

Cheap, affordable, and will never go out of date for years (PS2 lived 8+ years)

[couldnotdunitbetter]

@Suiton1

3)Consoles are Gaming PCs that's been butchered,hence:making gaming affordable with mediocre hardware parts&about 5 years shelf life(PS2 got lucky).

2)Sacraficed computing functions(massively multiplayer online role-playing game,Real Time Strategy,Massively multiplayer online game,&etc.)

1)No room for hardware expansions,while being left behind as DEVELOPERS implement latest GAME ENGINES,requiring increasing DATA storage and hardwares to quickly process(Star Wars:The Old Republic).

[Suiton1]

3) 5 years is like 5 times the lifespan of any given PC technology! Moreover, you almost always can never upgrade a single device by it's own (new proc. = new Mobo, which usually needs the latest ......, and so on).

2&1) I wholeheartedly agree.

0) The gaming developers already prioritized consoles over PCs.

-1) *cough*1080p*cough* inb4hookpc2tv

-2) Affordable, again :)

It's not that I disagree with u, I'm sorta balancing out the pros and cons, whilst deciding shall I go for a PC or a console.

[couldnotdunitbetter]

@Suiton1

3)Consoles restrict Game Developers creativity,HOW MUCH GAME CONTENTS IS CUT OUT JUST TO FIT THEM INTO CONSOLES?

2)In 5+ years with newer generation consoles,developers with franchise titles release new games for sure there'll be a COLLECTORS RETRO LIBRARY SET(with characters,stages,and etc. that wasn't previously released)***BECAUSE OF CONSOLE LIMITED CAPABILITIES,THUS DEVELOPERS FIGURING:WHAT CUTS WITHOUT SACRAFICING GAMEPLAY***

1)Console games cost more than Windows PC/Mac OS X.

[DEFkon001]

Better technology doesn't equate to better games. These "my system is better than yours" arguments never go away because there are always immature or poor myopic souls that feel the need to defend their solitary purchase. Fanboys focus on a single system, Gamers usually own half a dozen or so consoles, pc's, etc.

[couldnotdunitbetter]

@DEFkon001

I agree, that gamers own Microsoft PC, Microsoft Xbox 360, Mobile iPHONE, Nintendo platforms, and Sony PS3. The only thing helping console sales is that the BIG 3 Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony have what's called OWNED FRANCHISES AND PROPERTIES. Also Microsoft paid a King's or Queen's ransom to Take Two Interactive (distributor), its subsidiaries Rockstar Games (publisher) and Rockstar North (developer) for GRAND THEFT AUTO: THE BALLAD OF GAY TONY being only exclusive on Xbox 360.

[jim6700]

forgot dragon age origins...

[gearsofhalo799]

totally getting assassins creed two :D

[SirJacobDale]

Awesome vid! I'll fave, give a 5 star and subscribe. ^_^

[psyshock918]

any good multiplatform games that are on Wii?

[TheKayasto]

its not multiplatform BUT New Super Mario Bro.s Wii would be a great choice of Wii game ^_^

[twolosersNOlife]

no cuz the Wii is horrible

[Cowtipper4957]

@twolosersNOlife agreed, the wii lasted two weeks for me then i let my bro borrow it for college

[Kotaro131]

I don't know why there's so much hostility between PC gamers and console gamers. I use both to play games. Both ways of playing have the redeeming factors. So Jesus Christ guys chill out.

[TheGamerClubber]

Yes (Kotaro131): fuck all the people talking shit about some console system that doesn't have OR about PC. I had 360 (it broke in 04 months), I have PS3 (it's awesome) and I have PC. Doesn't mater where you play...what matters are the games...and the fun...and what YOU like...not the others. ALL CONSOLES RULES (Wii-360-PS3) and if you have a good machine...PC GAMES kick ass too.

[paul941326668419]

boooo yall aint talking about mw2

[coaxill]

Everyone already has MW2. If you have a 360 we could play sometime.

[paul941326668419]

i only support pc not 360

[stablizershock]

wat about dirt2

[ThatCoolDudeYouKno]

Halo is a multi-platform for those who think that Pc is a platform. which it clearly isnt. Pc gameing sucks ass.

[couldnotdunitbetter]

3)Consoles are Gaming PCs that's been butchered,hence making video gaming affordable with mediocre hardware parts&about 5 years shelf life.

2)Sacraficed computing functions(massively multiplayer online role-playing game,Real Time Strategy,Massively multiplayer online game,&etc.)

1)No room for hardware expansions,while being left behind as DEVELOPERS implement latest GAME ENGINE technology,requiring increasing DATA storage and hardwares to quickly process(Star Wars:The Old Republic).

[cell998]

Yeah and console gaming is so much better........

[markmene1975]

She's super Hot !!! I guess they don't play Modern Warfare 2 where she's from ! Mars ?? 0_o ..

[superklaydude]

but i already played and beat all of those!

[elterrible77]

i recommend AC2 best game from the list

[ariscool24]

game on

[crofud]

what about L4D2 and mw2 lol.

[kr1spness]

What happened to AOTS? and X-play G4 sucks now, too much office, not enough hilarious tech shows. If they need new shoes then what about Tosh.0 Basically Web Soup but they bring in youtube stars.

[LoneWolf7575]

Assassins Creed 2 looks promising :P

[minty160]

moder warfare 2 is HIGHLY OVERRATED.

but it's not bad though

[Caboose68]

i feels ya.

[kr1spness]

It's amazing!

But highly over rated.

Still did basically live up to all expectations.

[minty160]

it's not AMAZING. it's alright

didn't quite live up to all expectation

[ssj6mysticboy]

don't forget about raging blast and mw2

[mrharyjessica]

fake

[GoneGuano]

Nintendo has become too nice. The Wii would be great with games like Call Of Duty. But I guess they want to keep it family friendly.

[VaughnWhynot]

problem is everything they release for a wii has to have a cell shaded look or it would be shitty

[GoneGuano]

Exactly. That's why I bought an XBox 360. The Wii is fun, but the 360 has a better selection of games.

[VaughnWhynot]

i owned a wii....and i ended up giving it to my little sister because of barbie games and stuff

lol

so right there it proves it ha

[GoneGuano]

Haha! Good stuff.

[vampjoseph11]

uh.... They forgot to mention that at least one of those listed is an xbox exclusive

[howycwap]

what game is xbox exclusive?

[Dragonss11]

@howycwap

Halo

[howycwap]

but halo isnt on this list

[revowii]

Halo isn't a Multiplatform! Herp Derp.

[howycwap]

yeah i know, but there was a gu on the comments thats like this list sucks they mentioned a xbox excluive, so i wuz like which one is excplusive?!?! and then that one dood is like halo is exclusive, then im like ITS NOT ON THE LIST! then your like HALO ISNT A MULTIPLATFORM! HERP DERP, which im pretty sure is insinuating i have mental disablilities. which is uncalled for.

[hanbrujo]

i have all for free

warez rules

[shadow95zero]

but i got the gay ass wii

[masterofjelly]

lololoollololololololololol

[hardworker424]

Great job G4 for not posting this before black Friday.

[kickballa]

that's why i watch it on tv :P

[EmoWader]

how come theres no assassins creed 2 for pc

[pulgashopper]

because it will come out next year

[somberlight]

keyword: yet. the company has a weird habit of re-thinking pc after they've milked the consoles through.

[StoicDan]

I like how they didn't mention a single Wii title in this clip.

[TheGamerClubber]

Can't wait to buy STREET FIGHTER...seems just amazing and as fun as the original...Damn...Chun Li put her ass way up when she performs her movements...0:54 - look the SIZE and MUSCULAR ass of CHUN LI...damn! BATMAN: here in Brazil scored 10 out of 10. Just loved ASSASSINS CREED1, quite sure 2 will kick ass. Great video, 5 stars.

[Sbrff]

you LOVE ac2...belive me ;)

[Ceel942]

forget red faction guerillia..it sucks

[ypok]

im sorry i bought borderlands and played it for 10 min though it sucked but then i said maybe its just me waited till my friend came over and played it splitscreen and after 30 min of jus sitting there bored we put in tekken 6 something fun, borderlands was boring and assassins creed 2 is sick i play that when im not online with uncharted 2 or tekken 6

[njdss4]

Borderlands is AWESOME! If you like FPS games and like upgrading your gear like an RPG, this game will rock your socks.

[TSWRgtivr6Vdub]

eh i heard AC2 still has the problem of where the guy will jump where he feels like it lol... and i heard the side quests are more repetitive than the look of BL's guns XD so i choose BL>AC2 cause i hated AC1 and have no faith in AC2.

[Suiton1]

From this list one can deduct that Wii are screwed, are we not?

[GmasterFunk]

yeah, i tried selling mine but they wont take it lol

[DanzNewzMachinima]

Morgan... you used to be the hottest... because you looked normal/but, still smokin'... look what they've done to you...

[GmasterFunk]

i think its her chizzled cheeks

[504zap]

I think my 5 games to get for x-mas would be

Dragon Age Origins

Left4Dead2

Borderlands

Assassins Creed 2

And New Super Mario Brothers Wii

[yayap001]

whenever i go to walmart i always end up helping people for like half an hour, i think i should get paid lol

[EvOgAmErX]

i cant decide what i should buy,

1. Borderlands

2. Ac2

can someone help me out?

im buying both but im buying 1 for christmas and the other my birthday in january, the next month but i want to know which one i need first, HELP ME!

[Nikoman3139]

get obsessed with borderlands first, then sit down for the story in AC2 in january.

[MyGrandmaTheArsonist]

AC2, Borderlands in my opinion gets repetitive. Maps free-roam but they're not all connected which doesnt make me like it as much either. Go with AC2

[iM0L3]

well borderlands is an average game i thought, graphics suck, gameplay is ok, many glitches, rpg system is ok, story sucks, there r good things about it tho, such as 4 player but it dosent live up 2 ac2, amazin graphics, sick as gameplay and good story and im not biased i picked these games out of the random wen i bought them

[TSWRgtivr6Vdub]

wow you pretty much just compared two completely diff genres. ac2's combat system and controls are only a wee bit better than the pos it was in ac1... not to mention BL is an RPS and not a 3rd person game like ac2... you can't directly compare the two because they're designed for two different gaming types AND lets not get started with the shitty voice sync in ac2 LOL... but i will say in the world of RPS i enjoyed BL way more than FO3, FO3 just seemed waaaaay too damn boring.

[dominicangta4]

seriously bro wtf are you talking about ac2bis the best game shown in this video

[AssassinOfSouls]

graphics suck? hehe kids these days =)

[couldnotdunitbetter]

Which PC platform hardware configuration will run Morgan Webb's holiday musthaves at maximum settings the best?

a)Intel® Core™ i7 Processor with Intel® X58+ICH10R chipset(3 PCI Express® x16 slots)

b)Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor with NVIDIA® nForce® 780i SLI® chipset which is 2 to 3 - way SLI®(up to 3 NVIDIA® SLI® VGA cards)

c)AMD® Phenom™ X4 quad-core processor with 2-way ATI® CrossFireX™ chipset(up to 2 ATI® Radeon VGA cards)

d)other PC mods(examples?)

[7r1663rh4ppy]

what song was it at 1:29 ?

[WingedAngel9]

they didnt mention modern warfare 2 lol. but i can see why

[xsoulkidx]

I STILL LOVE YOU MORGAN

[CrazyMetalKidd]

Is it just me or is Morgan Webb fucking ugly now? I guess since Olivia Munn is now the G4 vixen, Morgan has became nastier looking then she already did.

[bbbk123]

no, Morgen Web is still the only Sexy gaming goddess for me. She can rumble my joystick any day B)

[CrazyMetalKidd]

Gah she looks like a boney meth head now. Olivia Munn is fine as hell i would fuck the hell outa her.

[brennybi]

i'm getting Creed 2 and batman + i already have tekken 6 which shits all over SF4, and Borderlands is way to repetitive, you do a mission go back and buy and then keep doing it over and over

[kemando12]

lol tekken 6 looks like it could be a ps2 came and borderlands is an open world fps, how does that get repetetive? also i haz ac2 and 1000 gamerscore for it (its the best game eva)

[marcobrooo]

morgan webb is hot in her own kind of way lol

[kemando12]

uhhh nope shes just hot

[marcobrooo]

@kemando12

ya..but not 2 every1

[aggiezak]

the Batman game IS FUCKING BAD ASS!!!!!!!!

[2wardsTheSky]

alot of girls are hotter than her.

[nickymcd]

Yeah, like your mom!

[jayaknow5252]

lol but dis chick is lookin good

[nickymcd]

Yeah and his mom is looking pretty good right now. On my penis.

[2wardsTheSky]

Have fun fucking someone in your pathetic whimsical mind. Because I will find your mom and sell her to South Africa. There they can rape her and sodomize her relentlessly. If you find your mom has disappeared. That is what happened. So have fun you dumb piece of shit. I grow sick of your stupidity and your lack of intelligence. You don't sound smart and probably ask produce at the grocery store for directions to your mental hospital. Everyone laughs at you behind your back. You know it.

[nickymcd]

Wow always with the mom jokes. Grow up you fat lil virgin.

[Sh00tOnSight]

Dude do you even have a brain? God it's like the dumbfuck convention showed up and you're in town.

[EbonMaster]

Youtube comments iz serious buisness.

[link000000]

lol like none of them are on the Wii...

[yojoinman]

i think they meant "Next Generation Platforms"

[ZamuraiCris]

but were current gen now.

[stealer111]

Mw2 pwned u dumbass

[Heeroic45]

MW2 is overrated. I'm not saying it's a bad game and I understand why people like it so much but I'm really sick of hearing people cry over it not being in one category... X-Play is just reminding people of some good multiplatform games (I'm pretty sure they all received 4/5). Everyone who is watching this clip has heard of MW2. If they haven't seen a commercial for it, they've atleast noticed all their friends staying home from work/school =)

[Zazuban]

I saw the full episode a few days ago; love Xplay!

[HardjumpJenkins]

Tities :D

[BmoreReppin410]

EXACTLY

[YLRK0]

How about the biggest entertainment launch in history G4, MW2? Street Fighter and no MW2? Fuckin' stupid.

[BmoreReppin410]

they did on the actual show

they just didnt here its a shorter clip and they recommended it on the 360 which is what they always do because they are biased

[ThaWalrus2]

MW2 is a given, everyone already knew that was coming, so they just didn't mention it.

[evilryutaropro]

im sorry but mw2 was a fail i mean its like cod4 but it just shifted around perks

[WAG379]

Nay. the story is EPIC and multiplayer has many more and better maps guns attachments perks titles and modes

[evilryutaropro]

well it feels like the game lags more and the maps i know are new but they feel to big they did away with servers i liked cod 4 more but i feel if someone sees u ur dead, the stroy was short and the co op was crapy, the only fun i get is using a secondary or a sniper, the m16 is back and the ump is messed up shit

[leo1337hs]

mw2 was a fail. R U FUCKING HIGH ON CRACK!

if you don't like MW2 you shouldn't be playing video games period.

[azhar414]

AGREED!

[JonO387]

Some people just don't like first person shooters. Your second sentence is a fail.

[evilryutaropro]

i played cod 4 and loved for the first few months but then it felt reptitve, mw2 made so many steps in the wrong direction i.e. they did away with servers mods and waw had cool matchmaking with more harcore modes but mw2 feels really laggy for me but i only have basic internet, well i can only say bad things about multiplayer really i hate the new maps and it feels like cod 4+5.5

[SupaStealth]

AC isnt on PC yet ;(

[big0lpen15]

is morgan webb a man? if so im gay

[ThaWalrus2]

Well say hello to the gay man people! Ha ha, im kidding, she is actually a she.

[DaStuntBrothers]

lol funny as hell that they didn't put anything for the Wii XD

[BmoreReppin410]

they did on the actual show this is a shorter clip

[Ale7Returns]

there is no point in getting street fighter 4 because Super street fighter 4 comes out next year. and there were not any for the wii, thats sad wii needs to make better games

[Ale7Returns]

oh my mistake, sorry

[STAR123WARSS]

Were is MW2??

[pro356]

@STAR123WARSS they didn't put it on there because everybody should already own it, granted the dont suck monkey balls.

[GDHGDYFJH]

Why is Morgan Webb so sexy??

[batjake007]

olive munn is sexier

[STAR123WARSS]

boobs XD

[GodLikeSkillz89]

After I beat Uncharted 2 and watched the credits, I noticed it said Bungie and some other developers. I guess Naughty Dog has friends from other developer teams.

[Jshaw71]

i really need to pickup arkham asylum, the one thing that turns me off about this game is hearing a of players will have to have dective mode on constantly... that's bothersome to me but oh well...

[SSBBphenom]

Lol I hate G4's definition of "multiplatform". None of these are on Wii. I mean, I know from watching X-Play when they say multiplatform, they don't usually include Wii, but they didn't have to put a picture of the Wii in the bg and say "No matter what console you have...".

[darkprince123]

boohoo *plays world's smallest violin* then get a new system.

[xsrxd3vlstheory]

wii is for faggots.

[gdmillerr]

haha i know, i was watching it and i was like, sweet red faction for wii, but then i realized that they are just misinforming, not as bad as gamerpro though they gave prototype a five star rating when it would be lucky to get a 2 star rating. but i have an xbox 360 so im not that annoyed with there idea of the multiplatform musthaves

[STalKerXHACK]

red faction guerrilla is best on the pc... same with batman arkham asylum. all first person shooters are better too

[rikkulightbringer]

really? all? including halo and killzone 2? oh yeah...i forgot....THOOSE ARENT ON PC, RETART. AHAHAHAHA.

[CHOPCHOP908]

@rikkulightbringer halo 1 and 2 are

[STalKerXHACK]

learn 2 spell oh yeah thos games suck btw

[SN1P3RxxPRoD3GY]

Morgan, my dick, her screaming :) i wish

[thearmoredfatboy]

If your thinking about getting Borderlands for the PC be warned the Co-op for it is SHIT! it barely works you can join or host games and has bugs Gamespy FTL.

[ranbrent]

mw2......................

[musikmakerfan]

they didn't put MW2 because the faggots over at Micro$oft payed Infinity Ward to have the game listed as a 360 exclusive.

[ramprider95]

what it is on 360 ps3 and pc get your facts right

[ranbrent]

its on ps3 xbox and pc

[Soulreaver51]

I hate microsoft

[musikmakerfan]

i know, they ruin the world with their marketing strategies.

[jazzer741]

batman is an awesome game i really enjoyed it

[r0b0leadr]

Batman- have

Red Faction: Guerilla- have the demo

Street Fighter 4- had it, returned it, i guess i don't like fighting games

Borderlands- have been looking at it for a while

Assassins Creed 2- don't have, on the fence, but i can borrow it from my friends i suppose

[hoothesioad12]

Batman- have (but too short)

Red Fact.- want to get

Street 4- great game

Borderlands- want

Assassins creed 2- either this or L4D2

[JohnCenaManiac619]

MW2 DAMNIT!!!!!!!!!!!

[hoothesioad12]

i got that at the midnight realese man that game rocks

[musikmakerfan]

For those looking at buying SF4 i recommend waiting until spring as Super Street Fighter 4 will be out with more content and a lower price tag.

[Mariocake111]

The flame war has started -_-

[Thefistof40k]

Can't spell ignorant without IGN.

[buttersownsuall]

That is so freakin hilarious. And really true IGN are a bunch of pricks corrupted by their fame

[happyugly123]

lol

[darthmars1]

pwned

[ColeDavis94]

Can't spell ignorant without IGN or ant.

[Brine49]

i cant stand morgan webb

[MrAndres47]

jessica chobat is hotter

[midevil656]

hell no

[ColeDavis94]

wtf no modern warfare 2 :S

[kyke2068]

MW2 was listed it as a 360 exclusive, BS i know lol but thats what M$ pays for.

[supermustang1]

you forgot about mw2

[reesensam]

borderlands + Assassin's look great

[FlubberGhost]

OMG! it's a chobot ripoff!

[chris91195]

@FlubberGhost morgen webb has been here so much longer than chobot so dont say anything

[oIIBLACKOUTIIo]

BORDERLANDS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Insatanic]

Uc2 pwns the fuck out of mw2 ac2 and l4d2

[FlubberGhost]

not really, it's good, but it's not THAT good

[Insatanic]

haha true, i just wanted to see some fanboys rip the shit out of me.

UC has the best story though

[theBOURN3idiot]

you idiot uncharted 2 is a ps3 exlucsive

[ZeroReaper99]

You forgot to say that UC2 story is blah and its multiplayer is average at best.

[xSouIReaper]

@ZeroReaper99

UC2 has an awesome story though
