"Sony set out to make a multimedia powerhouse with the PS3, and we're glad to say that it succeeded admirably. The inclusion of a Blu-ray player makes it almost a must-have for gamers looking to get into high definition video (or even a high-def buff with only middling game aspirations), particularly at this price point. Hardcore gamers, however, may need to think twice. With few exclusive titles at launch and a dwindling list of PS3-only games slated for the future, the
PlayStation 3 will surely have its hands full competing against the Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii."
"The good:
* Impressive graphics capability
* Looks swish
* Cheapest Blu-ray player on the market
* Plenty of multimedia features
* Wireless controllers, plus recharge cable is included free
* Robust online store."
"The bad:
* Expensive for a games console
* Few outstanding exclusive titles in launch line-up
* Lack of backwards compatibility
* Only comes with composite cables
* Sixaxis capability needs to be better utilised."
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."
You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is
That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.
Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion
Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*
*As per Wikipedia
Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
this is AU site. Also not a bad score from a microsoft owned site.
this is so dumb this ps3 game list is not dwindling! if anything its getting larger. and 399 is not expensive considering people are buying cell phones that cost more than this. and what is this crap " * Few outstanding exclusive titles in launch line-up " its ben out awhile now so there are alot of good games. i pity this site now
expensive for a gaming system.. its 40 bucks more than the 360 elite with no extra stuff to buy.. No 100 dolla HD DVD drive or 100 Dolla wi fi attachment to buy.. in the end you end up spending 160 less.. so its actually cheaper.. LAUNCH titles??? why talk about launch titles.. why not grade it on the fact it has more AAA titles in 08 than any other game console.. Cheap way to take away some real points towards the total.. or how about a plus.. FREE ONLINE SERVICE.. My total.. 9.9.. It doesnt get a Ten cause they havent came out with any New Twisted Metal haha
What are they talking about? I won't bother making a list because I'm too lazy, but there are PLENTY of exclusives and last I saw the list was doing the exact opposite of "dwindling."
"pretty expensive for a console", 360 costs the same.
