PlayBack: Lost Planet 2

TheSixthAxis runs its retrospective piece on Lost Planet 2 before the sequels launch, tomorrow:

"Over the past few years, third person shooters have gravitated more and more towards a generalised shortlist of conventions. Series such as Gears of War and Uncharted have popularised the use of snap-to cover points. The same two blockbuster franchises are also known for their rich narrative and well-rounded characters as well as intuitive melee segments of gameplay."
