The past few weeks, we have got top of the line games from a source that we were losing faith in: the Xbox Live Arcade. Sure the Arcade had some gems on it (Cloning Clyde, Geometry Wars), but it was mostly filled with trash. But here's the release list for the Arcade for the past four weeks: Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2, Braid, Bionic Commando Rearmed, Galaga Legions, all of which are fantastic.
While it can't match Xbox Live's four for four in the past four weeks, the PSN has also been gaining momentum these past few months. With games like PixelJunk Eden and SIREN: Blood Curse released recently, and games like Ratchet and Clank Future: Quest for Booty, Flower, and SOCOM: Confrontation on the horizon, the Playstation Network is looking very strong as well.
What about WiiWare? Well, so far it hasn't been an explosive success, but I have a feeling big Nintendo published WiiWare title will be revealed soon, which will swing momentum that way as well.
So there's no question: we are in a golden age when it comes to downloadable gaming. What is a question, however, is whether this is temporary or not. Will downloadable games remain strong or will this surge be short-lived?
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now
Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.
Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.
Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series
People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,
But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.
As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.
The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.
I would’ve focused on the creative.
Warhawk and GT5
atleast with what i have read....im not giving this site a hit
what does he mean 4 for 4?
Show me one game on XBL that matchs Siren Warhawk and even Socom!
Briad is a great game from all reports but its 4 hours long! Eden is 5 times longer then that game and is 5 bucks less
Make that Five for Five if Castle Crashers is comes this Wed.
I believe all games wont be downloadable until 2013 at the earliest.
theres isnt any Xbl games that comes close 2 beatin those 2 games let alone any of the other Psn titles
Both PSN and XBL have great games no doubt about it but Sony's PSN expands on those games and doesn't give you old games that you played 10 years ago.
Sony is trying new things and stretching boundaries w/ downloadable games.
Look at Eye Pet, Flow, Flower, Super Star Dust, Snake Ball, and Echochrome they are showing new things.
I like XBL for Castle Crashers, Geometry Wars, Rez Hd, and so forth but I want more.
Sony has more variety and that's what I like about it that and I don't have to always be online to play any of my games that I play w/ my friends on PSN then I do on XBL.
There's just more things going on w/ Sony then Microsoft I'm sorry but it's the truth whether you like it or not.
The title of the article is just dumb.
