The 10th Hour 07.29.2011: Top Launch Games
Posted by Armando Rodriguez  on 07.29.2011

From Call of Duty 2 and Halo: Combat Evolved to The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Virtua Fighter, Super Mario Bros. and more, 411's Armando Rodriguez counts down the top 10 launch titles of all-time! Check out the full article to see which games made his list and why!

Welcome to the 10th Hour. I am Armando Rodriguez ready to bring you another list of gaming related stuff for you to discuss in the comments section. A new console/portable's launch is exciting. You are getting your hands on the latest technological gadget and are preparing yourself to make your friends jealous with the pretty graphics and the awesome gameplay experiences. Except that not all console launches are good. The Nintendo 3DS has been criticized for the poor quality of the titles out there. The Nintendo 64 had a grand total of TWO games at launch (Super Mario 64 and Pilotwings 64). The three Sony consoles (PS One, PS2 and PS3) had barely decent launch lineup with no MUST-HAVE games. As a matter of fact, after going through the lists these are the games that came out as the best in the Sony launch lineups: Rayman (PS One), SSX (PS2), Resistance: Fall of Men (PS3) and Wipeout Pure (PSP). All solid titles but not one of them reason to invest on a new console. Sega had poor showings in the Master System and Genesis days too. The best games? Hang On (Master System) and Golden Axe (Genesis). But as you will find out in this list, having a great launch lineup is NOT a good measure of success in terms of game quality or overall console expectations. Believe it or not, the Sega Saturn, Sega Dreamcast and Nintendo Wii had some of the best launch lineups in recent memory and all of them failed in their own way. The Wii was a success in terms of being the dominant console, but it has failed to sell games not made by Nintendo and of the three current generation consoles, it is the first one to be replaced. The Saturn and Dreamcast failed more spectacularly, since they barely lasted a couple of years each. Not exactly a "cycle", but more of a flash in the pan. On with the list! 10. Virtua Fighter (Sega Saturn): Sure, the graphics look hideous and the physics were floaty, but way back in the day, this game was a revolution.

Purdy Lookin' Remasters You Got, Sony

Way back in May, Sony announced the PSP Remaster Project, a project that will allow the developer to transfer PSP games to the PS3 with glorious HD graphics, 3D visual support, transferring save files from your PSP version of the game, and even adding



Where Are the 3DS Games?

Portable games on Nintendo handhelds have never been as rare as jungle cats before. But before we condemn the 3DS for what might merely be a slow start an before we add it to the endangered species list, I decided to go on a search for 3DS games.




10 Great PSP Games with a vulnerability · Wololo.net

Sony quickly patched this one with a firmware update, and Rockstar also updated their game. People wanting to hack their PSP had to be careful not to buy an updated version of the UMD. This is the only time in the PSP history that an exploited game got a UMD update.

Funny anecdote, this vulnerability got reused a second time by Noobz almost a year later, in what was called the goofy exploit , when it was discovered that sony had incorrectly patched the vulnerability. This one has a special place in my heart, as the GTA exploit is what I first used to run eLoader and scummVM on my psp phat!

3. 2007: Lumines

As a happy new year present for 2009, developer MaTiaZ gave us the Gripshift exploit , yet another buffer overflow vulnerability in the player’s name, using the game’s save data.

Although the hype was extremely high on this exploit, the lack of a good Kernel exploit to work with it basically ruined the fun for everybody. The old guys among us will remember this as a big fight over an exploit between famous Hacker Dark-Alex, and team pspgen, when pspgen announced they would release a Custom Firmware/Hen using the Gripshift exploit

5. 2009: Medal Of Honor Heroes

In the middle of 2009, developer kgsws  (who is now better known for being the first to sign homebrews on the PSP ) released an exploit for the game Medal Of Honor Heroes (MOHH). The exploit had the particularity of requiring the players to commit suicide in the middle of a multiplayer game, which, although not very practical, was extremely fun.

Again, the lack of Kernel exploit (or rather, the lack of interest from people who had a kernel exploit) to work with this game made it not so interesting  to the community, but this is also the game on which m0skit0 started developing Half Byte Loader , an open source successor to the NoobZ eLoader (these are both applications that allow to run homebrews without a kernel exploit)

The PSP Go had announced dark times for the scene: exploits in games weren’t cool anymore, because exploits on UMDs wouldn’t work on the PSP Go, and exploits in games from the Sony PSN would get patched instantly. The “serious” guys were digging in the PSP firmware, or looking for exploits in images or mp3 files. Some people were still looking for exploits in games though, mostly for the fun of it.

This was the case of malloxis, who found an interesting crash in Patapon 2. What he didn’t realize at the time was that Patapon 2 also had an associated a demo, that could be obtained without accessing the PSN Store on various websites (no risk of an update by Sony), and that this demo could load and save games. It took roughly a week to developer Wololo (that would be me ) helped by N00b81, to create a proof of concept for a binary loader using this buffer overflow. At this time, taking note of the previous “wasted” user mode exploits (MOHH and Gripshift), we (n00b81 and myself) wanted to go further, and help m0skit0 with his work on half byte loader. We wanted to keep our exploit under wraps, until HBL was ready, to avoid this great exploit being “yet another wasted user mode vulnerability”.
