PS3CN: "Comet Crash is a top down Tower Defense game. That is, you build towers fitted with weapons, tools, upgrades, etc in order to defend your base and to obtain new troops. If you're new to the genre, the tutorial level does a lot of explaining about tower types, game controls, the enemy AI, and the game interface. However, many features, functions, tools, and weapons are left out of this level for the fact that you obtain them later. New weapons and tools were introduced as short cutscenes between levels, with little or no explanation. I would have preferred more of a lesson on how to use these different additions as it would have made the game a lot easier, but is that what I really would have wanted?"

"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.
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, Kill-Zone 2, Kill-Zone 3, Gran Turismo 5, Little Big Planet, Little Big Planet 2, Journey, Portal 2, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Battlefield 3, Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
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."
