The best games you probably didn’t play

well most of those games are really fun and good. I never play split sec. but the demo was fun and gowgos i bet is great to and never play it.

Resistance 3 has one of the best single player campaign, Dark Sector for me is a classic and enslaved is a mix of hevenly s. with uncharted with cool fun boss battles

[Amazingmrbrock]

enslaved kinda plays itself though. It tells you where to go at every step and most combat could be gotten through by spamming one attack button.

[akaakaaka]

I dare you to not touch the control and wait for the game to finish itself...
the gameplay is kind of like uncharted the fighting is wird but once you understand it its ok and the boss battles are fun!
why you need to troll?

the point is that the game is fun and if you a gamer you should give it a try you will like this games... I as a gamer will recommend any of those and i guess they did not got the attention it deserve, which is why this guys did this article, i have seen few like this before but most of the games sucks but the ones he have in it are actually good, fun games .

What if I derive part of my fun from being challenged by a game. I don't want it to hold my hand the whole way through the experience I'm an adult entirely capable of finding my way through the virtual world. It's not trolling it's a literal problem with the way the game was designed. It could have been solved by setting up the difficulty options differently.

Games tend to give us too much when it comes to gameplay. Go here, do this, do that. There's no feeling of accomplishment. But if we do figure something out on our own, it becomes an accomplishment, and so we hold more value in the experience. However, what if the player can't accomplish the task on their own? They might give up, so there's risk in making gameplay more difficult or complicated.

Vanquish should be on this list.

[egidem]

AAh!! Vanquish was quite an insanely fun game!

[taquito]

dark sector was a great game:)

enslaved for me was kinda mehh

r3 was very good....but i liked the first the best

[morganfell]

Dark Sector is a forgotten gem. Really good game.

Ghost of Sparta has a gripping story of redemption. Much of what happens in the GoW universe must be acknowledged as partially the fault of Kratos himself.

Ghost of Sparta is however the game in the series where that was not true and Kratos was completely victimized by the gods. Great writing and production and the PS3 version in 3D is most remarkable.

I respectfully disagree. I didn't think Dark Sector was any good. It had great graphics but the gameplay was repetitive and the game felt unfinished in many areas. And it got boring fast.

Oldman100 - Now we're talking. Vanquish is the best 3rd person shooter this gen when it comes to gameplay mechanics. The cigarette move is legendary.

I'd like to add James Bond: Bloodstone, Dark Souls, Alpha Protocol, Just Cause 2, Star Ocean-The Last Hope, and Deus EX: Human Revolution.

legend of heroes, blueeyeswhitedragon knows whats up!

Four PS3 games not many played, but I would recommend checking out are:
Starhawk (has solid community and dev support, but deserves to be much bigger)
3D Dot Game Heroes
The Fight: Lights Out (only if you are physically active)
Operation Flashpoint: Red River

[VonBraunschweigg]

Starhawk, well said. Deserves to be much bigger indeed, so much fun online.

[r21]

yes, starhawk deserves more people so i can increase my KDR >:D be careful noobs, watch out for cluster bombs and hawks, dont stay in your base too long and get outta there with guns ready!

[Moby-Royale]

I just finished Ghost of Sparta(hd collection) for the first time earlier.

I seriously feel that it is the best God of War game. They took a lot of risks gameplay wise and it really payed off.

A lot of the things the developers of Ascension mentioned they were changing up actually were already done in Ghost of Sparta. THAT is how a God of War game should be. Thanks to GoS I am, for the first time, psyched* for Ascension.

Couldn't agree more with your GoW impressions
