DC reports:
''I would be dishonest if I said I was looking forward to playing The Last Guy. After seeing the trailer last July, I assumed it was a gimmicky diversion of little substance that could easily qualify as a Flash title. The Google Earth-like maps were mildly interesting, but nothing else about the game grabbed me like PixelJunk Eden, Crash Commando, Flower, or any of the other offerings from Sony at E3. Of course, through all of this, one has to factor in the numerous daily instances where someone not so politely infers that I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about. Thankfully, depending on your point of view, such was the case with The Last Guy.''
MMGN.com writes: Indie gaming is hard to keep track of these days. When I think back to my own experience, this time last year I had never really dabbled into the indie gaming scene, and after being thrown in at the deep end, I soon delved beneath the surface to find some truly outstanding games.
So I thought it would be great if I could share some of my favourite experiences for each platform. Today we're taking a look at the PlayStation 3, which has offered some great experiences via the PSN store.
So here's 10 Essential PSN titles for you to grab today!
Braid, flOw, Everyday Shooter, Detuned., Linger in Shadows, Limbo, Where is My Heart? and Closure.
These are some of the best games PSN has to offer. They happen to be made by indie developers and were not mentioned in the article. I strongly recomend atleast a google or youtube search.
Thanks for your time.
Yes, yet games like Braid and Limbo started as Xbox 360 exclusives, and I included those on my 360 list yesterday. :P
I didn't know Double Fine was considered "indie". What are the stipulations for being "indie" anyway?
Great list though.
Back to The Future series... Indie... Since when? It's a Telltale game, for god sake.
With the recent reveal of the PS3 Exclusive, The Last Of Us, many have gotten excited for the game and have been conversing what they hope the game will have, so we decided to explain why The Last Of Us is going to be great.
I wouldn't say they are the best in the industry but the are up there. I am interested to see how this will turn out. I need to see more before I get excited though (gameplay). The trailer did look good and interesting
If you're someone who loves something a bit different in their games, the PS3 might be the place to be. TheGamingReview give their choice of the most unique PS3 titles.
Bluray for gaming
+
Host of exclusives
are come on double post =(
BR is handy, especially for games like MGS4 and GT5, wouldn't be possible with a single DVD.
Well this'll bring the 360 fanboys out in force ;-)
Decent write-up though.I really like TLG and Noby Noby Boy,great games.
Linger In Shadow ( I loved it, I hope to hear something from Plastic about a new experience soon ), Pain, Everyday Shooter, The Eye of Judgement, flOw, Folklore, Heavy Rain, Tori-Emaki.
PS: I can' t wait for Journey!!!
All great games! Trouble is that article could've gone on for a looooong time if every unique game was included..! Comment on the article itself, might even get added :)
Nicely written review - actually informative.
I've been a bit busy and haven't actually checked this out yet, but I most certainly will do. It would seem to have the 'essence' of what makes an enjoyable game and will be another great addition to the ever swelling ranks of really good PSN games I have. Good job I've got a 320gig drive! :)
I like how this review has a rating for "value" and "fun factor". Maybe more game sites should do this.
