In the August edition of EGM, something suprised me, Microsoft kicked some major a$$ and a game that has gotten very little attention stole first place from even Gears of War! Unbelievable definitly but it’s true, For those of you that live somewhere you can’t get an EGM i’ll go ahead and do the rundown, and just read down to #1 … i tell you it’s not what you think it is :) (And yes i counted Assasin’s Creed as a 360 game because theres just far too many magazines and sites saying that it’s a 360 title so if you don’t like it then go whine somewhere else).Along with the Top 50 Coolest games the magazine also has a small showcase on why each one was chosen, i must say the rundown seems pretty dead on as to what i expected, except for that final 1-2-3 finish was kind of expecting it in a different order, but then again their is a 4-5 page writeup in EGM on the #1 spot so it must kick some serious butt :)
