A misplaced street sign or a renamed store is all it takes to remind you that you're playing game. Sony's The Last Guy uses what has to be one of the most unique approaches attempting to circumvent this by using high resolution satellite imagery to generate each level. From San Francisco to Tokyo and everywhere between, the level layouts are the cities themselves. Taking place after a strange purple ray from space has struck earth, a series of strange zombies monsters have popped up everywhere. As the United Rescue Force attempts evacuate people from the cities, it's up to the player as The Last Guy to round as many people up as possible and lead them to the closest Escape Zone."
MMGN.com writes: Indie gaming is hard to keep track of these days. When I think back to my own experience, this time last year I had never really dabbled into the indie gaming scene, and after being thrown in at the deep end, I soon delved beneath the surface to find some truly outstanding games.
So I thought it would be great if I could share some of my favourite experiences for each platform. Today we're taking a look at the PlayStation 3, which has offered some great experiences via the PSN store.
So here's 10 Essential PSN titles for you to grab today!
Braid, flOw, Everyday Shooter, Detuned., Linger in Shadows, Limbo, Where is My Heart? and Closure.
These are some of the best games PSN has to offer. They happen to be made by indie developers and were not mentioned in the article. I strongly recomend atleast a google or youtube search.
Thanks for your time.
Yes, yet games like Braid and Limbo started as Xbox 360 exclusives, and I included those on my 360 list yesterday. :P
I didn't know Double Fine was considered "indie". What are the stipulations for being "indie" anyway?
Great list though.
Back to The Future series... Indie... Since when? It's a Telltale game, for god sake.
With the recent reveal of the PS3 Exclusive, The Last Of Us, many have gotten excited for the game and have been conversing what they hope the game will have, so we decided to explain why The Last Of Us is going to be great.
I wouldn't say they are the best in the industry but the are up there. I am interested to see how this will turn out. I need to see more before I get excited though (gameplay). The trailer did look good and interesting
If you're someone who loves something a bit different in their games, the PS3 might be the place to be. TheGamingReview give their choice of the most unique PS3 titles.
Bluray for gaming

BR is handy, especially for games like MGS4 and GT5, wouldn't be possible with a single DVD.
Well this'll bring the 360 fanboys out in force ;-)
Decent write-up though.I really like TLG and Noby Noby Boy,great games.
Linger In Shadow ( I loved it, I hope to hear something from Plastic about a new experience soon ), Pain, Everyday Shooter, The Eye of Judgement, flOw, Folklore, Heavy Rain, Tori-Emaki.
PS: I can' t wait for Journey!!!
All great games! Trouble is that article could've gone on for a looooong time if every unique game was included..! Comment on the article itself, might even get added :)
Why does that headline make me laugh so much? =)
