games dont seem to be as much about the gameplay as they used to be, but more about graphics and story, which isnt necessarily a bad thing, look at the mass effect series for instance. but i do sometimes miss the old days of running and gunning everything in sight.

I loved Spec ops, got it with PS Plus, amazing game. can't believe I haven't played it sooner!

shodan743893d ago

I think what we're starting to see is the same kind of separation that you get in the movie industry.

You've still got your action-packed, no-nonsense blockbusters that are purely about entertainment - but more and more games are trying to do something a bit more complex or narrative-led.

I think it's a great thing overall. Nice to see that kind of variety in approach.

ziggurcat3893d ago

spec ops was an incredibly surprising game.

Paytaa3893d ago

I loved Spec Ops: The Line. At first glance it seems nothing more than your average third-person shooter but man was it much more than that. I felt really weird once the credits started rolling. Can't wait for Yager's next project.

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

EvertonFC57d ago (Edited 57d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga57d 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!

LordoftheCritics56d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend56d 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-Long57d ago

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

melons57d ago

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

Skuletor57d 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.

ravens5256d ago

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

monkey60256d 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.

Skuletor57d ago

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

Terry_B56d ago (Edited 56d 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.

Metro Video Game Series: A Comprehensive History

The Metro video game series started with a humble b-list title, before building a strong fanbase and becoming a pioneer in the industry.

TheBrainZ72d ago

Never got into Exodus, but 2033 was excellent.

kevco3372d ago

Yeah, Exodus just didn't grab me either, sadly.

I absolutely loved 2033 and Last Light, however. Played them both on 360 and then again with the remasters!

anast71d ago

I just started it and it is already miles better than the first 2 which are dated.
