From the cosmos to crash-landing back on good old planet Earth, come read through the best sci-fi-nastically games on the PS3
Starhawk over Warhawk?...... Dude, NO ONE should listen to you.
Odd choices for "best" more like you settled as these being the "best" that available to you at the time, cause a lot of these blow or were average to poor performers that ended up in bargain bin.
Missing too many great sci-fi titles here. The Void, The Resistance Series, Killzone 2 and 3, Enslaved, man.. there were so many, this is redicu-list.
I agree that Starhawk shouldn't be above Warhawk, however I must say that Starhawk multiplayer was incredible for its time! Many people wrote it off bc the single player was quite terrible, bc it was basically 1 huge tutorial for the multiplayer. But I can tell you never spent any significant amount of time in MP. It was doing incredibly tense base building w air, foot and land vehicle (and mech!) combat long before Fortnite was ever a thing.
I bet it would have been much better received if it had just ditched the story mode all together. So many people like yourself completely wrote it off based on reviews by reviewers that let the criticism of single player weigh heavily on their scores. I bet you didn't even play it.
There's also the less acclaimed 'assault on dark Athena'
( also, not saying this to you specifically but there's both resistance and killzone games on the list, it's amazing how even something so simple and innocent as a game list can be turned into misinformed vitriol here lol )
Glad to see Resonance of Fate. Enslaved was pretty good too. I’m sure there are others nobody has listed but I’m too tired to try and think of anything
With every big game now belonging to a big intellectual property, there are those that have become redundant. Here are the series' we miss.
I miss Dark Cloud I mean damn, Dark Cloud 2 is one of the best Action RPG game ever made. The game have: Rich Worlds, different setting, tons of contents, vareity in gameplay like never before (and even after), best buliding mechanics, crafting system like no one did and finally impressive graphics.
Most underrated game ever. It deserved the popularity and sales of Zelda and Final Fantasy. ut unfortunately, Level-5 and Sony didn't advertise it at all.
My franchises I wish would make a come back, are Battlefront by pandemic studios - galactic conquest was the best, mercenaries 1 and 2, and prototype 1 and 2...great games!
Pure PlayStation: Pure Reminiscing is a brand new feature from our very own Kyle Durant. It’s… different. Think of it like a mini-novel full of Kyle’s most weird and wonderful musings about games of yesteryear. If nothing else, at least it’s long enough to give you something to do on your journey to work in the morning….
This review told me like nothing about the game
This is the hole review........................ ..................Aqua’s not the most common videogame colour, despite being closely related to Commodore’s classic cyan. Starhawk has lots of aqua. Serious amounts. Hell, if Starhawk had any more aqua its theme tune would be ‘Barbie Girl’.
Sorry if we’ve earwormed you, but it’s better than our backup, Elton’s ‘Blue Eyes’, burrowing through your synapses. Really.
Anyway, this Starhawk thing’s the successor to PS3 Warhawk, which harks back, at least nomenclaturely, 17 years to the original PlayStation. We played that lots. Fuck we’re old. Wha-wha-whassat? Onions!
Erm...
Good news everyone! Unlike the last Warhawk, those who prefer flying solo can actually play Starhawk, as there’s single player campaigninating. It’s not particularly super-long or particularly super-ace, but it’s there. You clamber through a story involving people with Smurfs for eyes or something (OK, a space cowboy power struggle – literally, as you go all shooty-shooty-BLAM-BLAM over ‘rift energy’) in various third-person guises. Trundle around on foot, herb about in/on machines seemingly procured from Mad Max’s garage sale, graduate to dog-fighting in them spaceship thingies, then mix it all up.
It’s cool fun, magnified up to 32-fold when you mosey online and play against real space soldier types. Well, geeks like you, sitting on similar couches, munching similar munchies and downing similar bevvies while pretending to be space soldier types. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, natch.
It’s super-playable, has shitloads of weaponry, gives guidance without grabbing your handie-wandie and dragging you from Point Outset to Point Target, plus there’s an extremely natty tower defence thing happening – press a button and various structures like walls and launch pads are erected before your very (blue) eyes.
If you dig multiplayer then you’ll dig this. Soloists not so much, but you’ll get tonnes of aqua and possibly even a hankerin’ to watch Firefly again...
wtf kind of review is this? Why was this accepted?
