Comet Crash's biggest draw is just that you can finally fight back. It's a much more significant addition than would be obvious at first glance, and the fact that both offense and defense can be juggled at once with minimal headaches speaks volumes about Pelfast's ability to strike a balance between the ebb and flow of combat and defense. It's even more admirable when you consider the whole game was made by just three people. The trio clearly did their homework, and the result is a tower defense game that has no analog on the PSN -- all the more reason to give it a shot.

"The PlayStation 3 has its own particular flavor of multiplayer games. First-party experiences tend to focus on family-friendly entertainment, while downloadables on the platform like to experiment with various concepts. Sometimes a developer even takes advantage of the system’s 7-controller support! (Just not that often.) Here’s the cream of the crop on the system, including some that should work for any group."
Interesting list... stays away from obvious shooters and the like. SingStar and Fat Princess are great multiplayer games too.
It is interesting and is was not a list I was expecting. Even though I never played many of those multiplayer games, I still think they could of added Uncharted multiplayer or PlayStation all stars because those are my faves.
Agreed... both games have excellent MP. How about Journey too? And Demon's/Dark Souls... they both have interesting MP.
I don't play it often so it crosses my mind too easily. But that multiplayer on Journey is awesome and unique!

This is the debut installment of Multitap, writer Graham Russell’s new column about traditional multiplayer and co-op gaming.
There are lots of games out there that let you jump in with your friends and play around. Those can be a heck of a lot of fun. If you’re looking for something a bit more cerebral, though, nothing’s better than a co-op game with some planning and strategy.
SBG: "We’re human. We don’t always get to every game before the end of its year of release. This is our way of making amends: the best games we missed out on until 2011. Because we can’t go back in time and honor them in a more timely fashion."
I should go pick this one up.
aweome stuff. quality hits the psn all the while
Wow. Good score. I wasn't sold on this one, with Savage Moon and PixelJunk Monsters I figured there are enough tower defense games on the PSN. I guess I was wrong! It seems this does bring its own elements to the table and can coexist happily along side those other games. Maybe I'll pick it up when they inevitably put it on sale for 4.99 in the summer or fall.
Savage Moon looked good, but my wife and I had a blast with Pixeljunk Monsters with the co-op and Savage Moon didn't have it.
This is a buy for me.
