When will Sony start promoting their first-party games? It has to be soon, right? They keep letting wonderful titles sneak out the door without more than a whisper. It’s not fair; not to them, not to great developers like Lightbox Interactive and not to gamers chomping at the bit for unique and creative game play. If you’re tired of staring down the scope of an AK-47 or struggling with the controls of a DICE-patented Helicopter Crash Simulator, Starhawk might be the experience you’ve been waiting for.
From the cosmos to crash-landing back on good old planet Earth, come read through the best sci-fi-nastically games on the PS3
Starhawk over Warhawk?...... Dude, NO ONE should listen to you.
Odd choices for "best" more like you settled as these being the "best" that available to you at the time, cause a lot of these blow or were average to poor performers that ended up in bargain bin.
Missing too many great sci-fi titles here. The Void, The Resistance Series, Killzone 2 and 3, Enslaved, man.. there were so many, this is redicu-list.
I agree that Starhawk shouldn't be above Warhawk, however I must say that Starhawk multiplayer was incredible for its time! Many people wrote it off bc the single player was quite terrible, bc it was basically 1 huge tutorial for the multiplayer. But I can tell you never spent any significant amount of time in MP. It was doing incredibly tense base building w air, foot and land vehicle (and mech!) combat long before Fortnite was ever a thing.
I bet it would have been much better received if it had just ditched the story mode all together. So many people like yourself completely wrote it off based on reviews by reviewers that let the criticism of single player weigh heavily on their scores. I bet you didn't even play it.
There's also the less acclaimed 'assault on dark Athena'
( also, not saying this to you specifically but there's both resistance and killzone games on the list, it's amazing how even something so simple and innocent as a game list can be turned into misinformed vitriol here lol )
Glad to see Resonance of Fate. Enslaved was pretty good too. I’m sure there are others nobody has listed but I’m too tired to try and think of anything
With every big game now belonging to a big intellectual property, there are those that have become redundant. Here are the series' we miss.
I miss Dark Cloud I mean damn, Dark Cloud 2 is one of the best Action RPG game ever made. The game have: Rich Worlds, different setting, tons of contents, vareity in gameplay like never before (and even after), best buliding mechanics, crafting system like no one did and finally impressive graphics.
Most underrated game ever. It deserved the popularity and sales of Zelda and Final Fantasy. ut unfortunately, Level-5 and Sony didn't advertise it at all.
My franchises I wish would make a come back, are Battlefront by pandemic studios - galactic conquest was the best, mercenaries 1 and 2, and prototype 1 and 2...great games!
Pure PlayStation: Pure Reminiscing is a brand new feature from our very own Kyle Durant. It’s… different. Think of it like a mini-novel full of Kyle’s most weird and wonderful musings about games of yesteryear. If nothing else, at least it’s long enough to give you something to do on your journey to work in the morning….
Awesome review! I am so pumped to play this game.
Great review, very well written. Starhawk is one of the games that I am gung ho for getting, but Max Payne 3 got in the way. Definitely plan on getting it soon.
Sorry you bought Max Payne 3 instead of Star hawk. I also bought MP3 and i played a little but went right back to UC3 and Star Hawk because they are so much better.
Imo Star Hawk mp is a solid 9 and MP3 mp is like a 6.5 with stiff controls, bland environments and graphics and cover system is just bs. MP3 mp is about a 8 but with annoying cutscenes every damn 3 minutes grrrrr
Man. Too many good games out at once. Only so much of me can go around at one time.
