Jasper Kashap writes: "Commonly perceived as a spiritual successor to Criterion's Burnout Revenge, Split/Second actually shares more in common with the ill-fated Stuntman series. After a presentation from Black Rock Studios' Nick Baynes, hands on with the game itself provided a chance to get to grips with one of the most explosive games next year has to offer.
In a conscious attempt to undertake a brand new premise to the arcade destruction racer, the premise of the game is not to use your car as a weapon, or to use weapons on your car, but instead to use the environment as a weapon. With the absurdity of the idea handled by having the races take place as part of a reality TV show with a limitless budget, Black Rock Studios have gone all out on creating the loudest and most bombastic racer imaginable."
What are some of the greatest hidden games? Some titles are so unexpectedly good or obscure, gamers may have missed out!
by Caspar Leblanc:
"When you first started playing Spec Ops: The Line , you might feel that it’s just another brainless third person shooter, and some parts are kind of boring, that’s what I thought as well, but I was really into shooter games so I finished it and I was totally impressed by its story, don’t worry not spoilers, If you want to know why this game is on the list, and you are interested in good stories, go play it and pay attention to the plot, you will agree my opinion afterwards."
The Saboteur was great, nice art style and such a good soundtrack. Hunted was cool but very flawed.
Alice the Madness Returns is still really cool for those who like the premise. The original Dead Space holds up well. Catherine has aged incredibly well. The Suda 51 games are all still great if you can dig quirkiness (Shadows of the damned, Lollipop Chainsaw, Killer is dead). There are lots more, many have had remasters already though.
Totally agree, Alice the Madness Returns was good, and Split Second mentioned in the article was not bad as well
I always felt that Saboteur was under appreciated, I really did like that game a lot. It was a real shame when Pandemic got shut down.

Or should they just be left in the past whilst we concentrate on the deluge of triple A and Indie titles coming our way over the coming months? Sit back as we take a look at what is on offer."
Split Second is better than all the other games combined including the PS+ lineup.
I bought it during a sale for $5. It’s fun for a while. Funny at times. I think if you are in the mood you’ll enjoy it.
