Favorite 'Greatest Hits' Console Games Worldwide?

Posted by simoniker on from the tastes-be-different dept.

The Gamemaster writes "Siliconera, an import video game web site, has an interesting story comparing the favorite 'Greatest Hits' console games around the world. They look at the budget-price re-releases of previously top-selling games for PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube in Europe, the U.S., and Japan, and compare them, leading to some interesting contrasts in what gamers enjoy playing across the globe."

  1. Greatest Hits are a great idea. by Naffer · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I own a PS2 and a Gamecube, and I have to say I much prefer the greatest hits system that Sony has to Nintendo's. All Sony games are eligable for rerelease as a greatest hit at $20, wheras Nintendo's "Player's Choice" system is almost completly first person titles (mentioned in the article) and usually priced closer to $30. It's great to be able to pick up games that you missed early on for a discount. I recently bought GT3 and Jak and Dakster for $20 each. $20 is just such a perfect price that I'm pretty disapointed with N sticking to $30.

  2. Re:Not many game cube titles in the greatest hits. by Txiasaeia · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Agreed. Super Smash Bros and Metroid are *still* worth $30, for example, and these games *still* blow away gamers' minds.
