See what's coming this week in the US for the Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3, Wii, Nintendo DS and Sony PSP. Highlights include Lost Planet: Colonies Edition (Xbox 360) and Enemy Territory: Quake Wars (PS3/Xbox 360).
BLG writes, "Alongside the Wolfenstein and DOOM franchises, there are the Quake games. Known for fast-paced and insane multiplayer deathmatch action, there was a time Quake was best known for its single-player design.
That all changed as time passed (i.e., after Quake 3 Arena). Multiplayer deathmatches were never the same.
As other FPS games leaned more into improved narrative and storytelling, id Software delivered a genre-defining multiplayer experience.
Quake 3, and the iterations, will always be one of the best multiplayer series releases.
As far as campaigns, I think 1 and 4 are great, but that 2 was garbage.
Quake Champions was a joke on and didn't capitalize on much of anything that made the series great.
The entire Lost Planet series plus Resident Evil: Code Veronica X get Xbox One backward compatibility today.
This is absolutely amazing! To this day Lost Planet is still my all time favorite online game. Love the Lost planet franchise!
2 is the one with 4 player co-op right? That was amazing! Being able to fight giant monsters in co-op was so awesome. It was like Monster hunter with guns.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "3D platformers have long been a favourite genre of mine. Growing up on the likes of Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon on PS1 means I’ve been conditioned to love the colourful, vibrant worlds and the exploration-based gameplay that often goes with the 3D platformer. In recent generations the genre has stalled, with fewer new releases and publishers unwilling to invest in new titles, and even older mascots falling by the wayside.
Yet thanks to its brilliant backwards-compatibility with PS1 and PSP games, the Vita has become something of a home for the neglected genre, with plenty of classic games playable (especially thanks to HD Remasters from the PS2 era) and a few brilliant modern titles thrown into the mix too."
