This map interface allows you to zoom in or out to your choice of five different levels, from a closeup on your local area out to a view that shows the entire map of the current city. The default view is the second closest one, but you can press (R2) to zoom in or (R1) to zoom out as you see fit. When you're zoomed out to the furthest level, there are some additional Heads-Up Display-style indicators that show where the enemies are and how far they can see and in what direction. This information can prove invaluable, if you can properly put it to use."

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

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!!!
