TeamXbox writes: "Strategy games are as old as humanity. For eons, humans have played at simulating large conflicts, either with sticks and rocks in the sand representing people holding sticks and rocks and probably standing on sand, up to large scale model dioramas peppered with legions of die cast soldiers. These days we keep it mostly virtual, though old board game stalwarts like Chess and Shogi are still played the world round."
Just a little while ago, Major Nelson posted on Twitter that Dante’s Inferno and R.U.S.E. have been added to the ever-growing list of backward compatible Xbox games. The games are available for purchase through the digital store, or just insert your old disc and the game should automatically download. As a [Continue Reading]
If they would add Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge and Ninja Gaiden 2 to BC I'd jazz my pants.
True, it's rare to play a game with moderate to no expectations then have your mind blown away!
The unfortunate thing is that at the time many reviewers were not kind to it because it did Castlevania differently and because it copied from God of War. i found those reviews sad because they missed a great game for stupid reasons. Same for Dante's Inferno.
One thing is for sure, we were the lucky ones 👍🏻
I immediately got a God of War vibe but it was done so well that I didn't care that it deviated from the series so much.
The story, the setting, the Sir Patrick Stewart, the gameplay, all wonderful!
Don't forget the music it is amazing.
I thought the same and that's what those journslists keep missing. Games copy from each other all the time and since the begining, GoW itself borrowed from games like Devil May Cry and Rygar but it is the excution that should also count and everything about this game was top quality.
Nice to see a fellow gamer who enjoyed the same rare gems.
Surprised that RUSE has been added. Wasn’t that game taken off Steam and the Microsoft Store a few years back due to publisher rights issues?

It's a real-time strategy game, yes. But aren't strategy games on consoles always terrible? Not always, as we discover in Show of the Week."
A look at some great, Sony strategy titles. All games are ranked according to gameplay, graphics, and overall replay value.
10) Disgeae 4: A promise Unforgotten
7) Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention
5) Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice
Two problems with this
Detention was a PSV game and in what world was Disgaea 3 better than 4?
Because as you can probably guess this was a badly put together and researched list. Was basically just every STG title to appear or be talked about by Sony.
Loved Deadblock and Awesomenauts especially - but I'm glad to see that Plants vs ZOmbies was tops! I was so excited when this was added to PS+, and really I feel that just about anyone can jump into it. Not too over the top military, great gameplay and simple mechanics.
Glad to see at least one of these comments offers something meaningful to the discussion!
