5 games every library should own 2010
JP & Justin’s “5 games every library should own” (2010 edition!).
Obviously there are many variables that go into developing a game collection. Just as it would be hard to put together a “5 DVDs every library should own” (mostly because you feel bad about everything left OFF the list), this is our opinion on how you should spend those first library gaming dollars.
Also, this only applies to current-gen systems. As we expand the blog, expect more in-depth coverage of gaming genres and such…
Wii: New Super Mario Bros, Rock Band 2 (or Band Hero), Wii Sports Resort, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Mario Kart Wii. [Wii Play is a runner-up because it comes with a Wii remote]
Xbox 360: Rock Band 2, Halo 3, Super Street Fighter IV (or Marvel vs Capcom 2 on Live Arcade), Scene It!, Turtles in Time (Live Arcade).
PS3: LittleBigPlanet, Rock Band 2, Street Fighter IV, Soul Caliber IV, Tekken 6.
You know, I think the real wild card here (it could be argued that it doesn’t belong) is Turtles in Time on 360. I picked it for many reasons (nostalgia for older gamers, small learning curve, recognizable IP, 4 player…) but the best reason is the low cost ($10!).
