The God of War series has truly cemented its place in video game history. Another Playstation exclusive, the God of War collection updated the game play from the older entries in the series to prepare players for the upcoming release of God of War III. These changes were not irrelevant or insignificant, either. Updates to the graphics, especially, gave players what they wanted and also served to bridge the gap between the most popular PS2 games and the next generation. For a console that, often confusingly, has limited capabilities for backwards compatibility, this release was welcome news for many gamers that loved the series - especially with the often included coupon for the release of God of War III.
Resident Evil 5
Although also classified as a survival horror game in some circles, Resident Evil 5 is really an action/adventure game in all respects. Resident Evil 5 was a fun and addicting game to play, thanks to some of the RPG elements added to game play. However, it had nowhere near the reception that Resident Evil 4 enjoyed in its day. Still, it was a blast to play and allowed the player to enjoy the action elements without having to worry about whether there would be enough ammunition to take down the next group of foes.
