We got our hands on an early copy of the latest game - Dark Sector, and for the last week have been messing around with the entire game, trying out everything that it has to offer. So what did we think? Did it live up to the hype, or is this just another shooter? Hit the jump for the full review!
Chris Needham writes: "With the launch of both the PS4 and the Xbox One now a fading memory, the current generation of gaming consoles has well and truly established itself, with games such as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Batman: Arkham Knight and, of course, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, all justifiably taking the limelight. Here at Power Up Gaming, however, we’re not so keen to let go of the past. Originally starting out our coverage as primarily a retro games outlet, we take great pleasure in revelling in the titles of yesteryear."
Bulletstorm, Folklore, and 3D Dot Heroes are just a few of the great hidden gems on PS3
"ZL: Before we knew of the Xbox 360, or anything concrete about the PlayStation 3, we had heard the name Dark Sector. This was a time when what would become the Wii was known only as the mysterious “Revolution.” The 7th Generation of video game consoles hadn’t even begun and we already received a taste of what was on the horizon with a video released by Digital Extremes."
Great article. Great game. Man I wish they'd make a sequel or just re release it or something.
OPM: Digital Extremes’ game director Steve Sinclair has, “lifted the kimono” (his words) on the history behind Dark Sector and how publishing pressure took the game away from its original vision. A vision that the set to return with the free-to-play Warframe on PS4.
That's interesting, They approached Sony with ideas several times, since they are independent, I wished Sony would have published one of their ideas as an exclusive! I loved Dark Sector, even the original concept of the game! Going to see about Warframe at launch.
Paging DrPepper, Paging DrPepper.
Please report to the cafeteria where you will eat your words, the game doesn't suck.
now this is one I'm anxious to read several reviews on (not undermining this single review, I'd say that no matter the source)...it's been very commercialized and has a lot of hype...hopefully it's not to disappoint
I keep reading that this game is only 10 lvls long..........ehhhh not sure if thats a good or bad thing, just that i dont want to finish the game in 5 hours i guess ill wait a little while and see what other people say and based on that ill either rent it or buy it.
I've heard from a few places that even though it's only 10 levels the game is a solid 13 hours for single player.
I'm definitely buying the game so i'll tell you how long it is once i pick it up on wendsday. Sometimes you just got to get a game despite reviews to see for yourself, i think this generation of games have relied to much on numbers and stats. Instead of just enjoying a game for what it's worth.
