got cs:go on pc already!

and will this make it to the front page like a playstation store preview does?

ChunkyLover534275d ago

This is Xbox news, so no. The only Xbox news that will ever make the front page is if someone says Xbox 360 is bad, how XBL is a ripoff or how PS3 is better than Xbox at one thing or another.

I've also noticed how even the smallest PlayStation news makes the front page.

DirtyLary4274d ago

Enjoy it will you can. This game will be a ghosttown once BO2 and Halo4 drop.

Relientk774275d ago

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, awesome

Dante1124275d ago

Got mine on the PSN. It's pretty fun.

TrendyGamers4275d ago

Currently downloading the NHL 13 demo!

Demo is awesome. Have it on both my PS3 and 360.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil20d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai19d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing6919d ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle19d ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal19d ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa19d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal19d ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.

Dragon's Dogma Is Still Amazing

Although the sequel is on the near horizon, the original Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen remains a fantastic action RPG, still worth playing.

A lot of the quest lines in Skyrim are good(not all and they don’t add up as a whole if you do thieves guild mage fighters guild etc) The dragons are very lame after the first few times and the combat is clunky as it always has been. The stupid sprint button is ridiculous.

Overall I agree DD is the better rpg game.

Both have theirs strengths and weaknesses but Skyrim should be so much more being the 5th game in Elder Scrolls series.

Excited to see what they add on to DD 2.

Unfortunately all they have done to Elder Scrolls since Morrowind is take things out (minus the sprint button which is so lame because you can kill dragon god like creatures but can’t run for more than ten seconds without getting tired)

anast61d ago (Edited 61d ago )

I liked the vampire questline and the return to Morrowind was okay, but the problem with Skyrim was the lack of consequence. There is almost no point in the quests. After I realized this, I started messing around with the mods and then quit playing. Though, I did spend 300 hrs. on modded content, but this is telling of how bad the game kind of is.

If DD was the size or close to the size of Skyrim, It would have been the primer fantasy game back then. I hope they up the size with DD2.

I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.

EvertonFC73d ago (Edited 73d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga73d ago

Yes great game spec ops! Since the time we’ve been asking sony to make one:/

Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!

LordoftheCritics72d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend72d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long73d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons73d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor72d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens5272d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey60272d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.

Skuletor72d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B72d ago (Edited 72d ago )

wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.

Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.
