While action-hungry gamers will be all over the two biggest titles in recent months, GTA IV and MGS4, surely even they will be a little bit curious about how a classic strategy series will fare in its tentative first step on to the PS3, a console not known for going head to head with the bastion format of anally retentive gaming, the PC. PLAY have kept an eye on the progress of Civilization's translation over the last few months and on a professional level alone, they became increasingly curious. Bringing the Civilization series to the PS3 has something in common with the spate of big-budget, comic-book-hero movie adaptations they have seen in the last decade: Firaxis already has a cracking game and Sony's got a great platform for it, so it's all down to the directorial cut, and PLAY are glad to say Civilization Revolution smacks of an X-Men hit rather than Daredevil flop.
Dorkly: "History is written by the winners, and that applies to games, too. While we hold up our post-apocalyptic wasteland adventures, period piece assassinations and Liberty City crime sprees on a pedestal, we would do well to remember the little guys. These underseen, criminally underplayed games didn't do well critically or commercially, but they were still wonderful experiences. Here's a small list of recommendations of unsung heroes of the PS3/Xbox 360/Wii era."
Alpha Protocol has some fantastic ideas in its conversation and story progression due to choices. I really enjoyed my time with it.
A spy rpg can be done with amazing results if handled correctly.
God Hand
Partly because I just recently discovered it and its insane.
What a gold nugget.
XMNR: 2K Games and Firaxis Games officially unveiled “Civilization: Beyond Earth” at a PAX East, which ended Sunday. The storied franchise heads for the stars for the second time in its twenty-three year history but the history of Sid Meier’s just-one-more-turn creation is as interesting as the games themselves.
March was a good month for bagging yourself a bargain! Hopefully we'll be able to find a few more good deals this month too. Here are a few of the bargains that FantasyMeister managed to bag himself in the month just gone.
This is a must-buy for me. Looks great.
