It takes a special one to terrify you. Dark Souls is such a game. It's a thoughtful, atmospheric, and mysterious role-playing adventure that challenges your mind and your mettle. Unlocking different powers, finishing missions in different ways, striving to be more or less murderous, and seeing a different endgame all offer appealing incentives to give it another go.
It's a rare game that feels so compulsively replayable, but Dishonored is such a game. But it also does amazing things no other open-world game has attempted before, using multiple perspectives to put you in the thick of cinematic heist sequences and other exhilarating, multi-layered missions like no open-world game before.
Part adventure game and part psychological thriller, Heavy Rain is far from the quick-time-event-powered movie that it may appear to be at first glance. Every action you perform or decision you make--from the simple and mundane to the dark and disturbing--brings you closer to the flawed but realistic characters you manipulate.
The pacing is excellent. It doles out new abilities, introduces powerful story twists, and concocts exhilarating missions at a steady rate, which means the game never loses steam during the course of the lengthy adventure. The game's length, two or three hours on the outside, is exactly right, letting you take in the whole experience in one session.
Killzone 2 is a tremendous package, offering an exciting campaign and terrific competitive online play, neither of which create new paradigms for first-person shooters, but rather set new standards in subtle but significant ways.
Noire is a unique game with a terrific sense of period atmosphere, absorbing investigation mechanics, and a haunting tale with plenty of moments that would be right at home in a classic film noir. Those smoky nights spent listening to jazz at the Blue Room, and the price you paid for them, will stay with you long after you've retired your badge and gun.
Even if you're not interested in designing and creating games yourself, LittleBigPlanet 2 is not to be missed. And through this harmony of game design comes the caustic dissonance of a world so torn asunder that a single possibility can bring with it endless hope. You'll want to see what happens next, yet when its long campaign draws to a close, you'll wish it would continue. Instead, it radiates outward from its predecessor, simultaneously illuminating the world that gave rise to Portal and continuing the adventure that began there.
The sense of novelty is diminished, but the thrill of exploration and puzzle-solving is still intoxicating, and it's amazing how Portal 2 manages to tell a better story with disembodied voices and spherical robots than most games can with full-on humans. There are also some thrilling action sequences that see Kratos climbing Mount Olympus and slaying titans. When it was announced that the developer would be taking the GTA formula to the Wild West in Read Dead Redemption , it was met with excitement and skepticism.
No one was sure if an open world cowboy game would be as engaging as something more compact like Grand Theft Auto. The skepticism was quickly put to rest, though. Red Dead Redemption was met with critical praise, and the open-ended formula of Grand Theft Auto was a natural fit for the sprawling setting of fictional New Austin. Players take on the role of John Marston, a former outlaw turned rancher and family man, who is picked up by a pair of mysterious government agents.
Their instructions are clear. John must hunt down members of his old gang or John will never see his family again. Then you are set loose on an open world that covers dusty ranges, wide open plains, and political conflict in Mexico.
It is a massive game that deals with absolute freedom versus the constraints of civilization. There are also tons of animals to be hunted, treasures to be found, and bandits to be captured or killed. The game is almost overwhelming in how much there is to do. The Game of the Year edition also includes the Undead Nightmare : a tongue in cheek zombie-packed add-on.
At the launch of the PS3 and Xbox , each had their exclusive shooters to entice consumers into investing in their consoles. Microsoft had Gears of War , and Sony had Resistance. While Gears of War had more longevity as a series, Resistance was still a high-quality sci-fi shooter that was inventive and influential in its own right. The first game offered impressive visuals alongside a race of horrifying invading creatures. Resistance 2 upped the stakes and included more sci-fi weaponry, but went a little wonky in the story.
Resistance has always stood above its peers in humanizing its cast, and that is particularly true in Resistance 3. Taking place four years after the second game, the human resistance against the invading Chimera is all but dissolved. Protagonist Joseph Capelli is living in a human settlement with his wife and young son, but must leave them behind to head to New York in a last ditch effort to close a wormhole that spells doom for the human race.
The desperation of the characters and their personal motivations in the conflict is never lost, and that is what makes the game so memorable. Combine that with the brutal combat and array of weapons in your arsenal, and Resistance 3 is as fun as it is engaging.
Indie developers have made incredible artistic achievements in the past decade. Some of them have created games so simple and beautiful they would go on to influence the indie scene and the industry at large for years to come. Journey is one of those games. After finding a flowing red cape that gives them the ability to fly for brief periods, the character begins making their way towards a mountain in the distance. The journey to this mountain is broken into several sections the player must traverse.
These sections are laced with puzzles that the player must also solve to move forward. Journey was released to praise from players and critics alike, and it won several Game of the Year awards and was nominated for an award for its breath-taking soundtrack. It is also widely considered one of the greatest games ever made. Flow is a calming rhythmic game, as opposed to the fast-paced rhythmic games like Guitar Hero. Flower is a game where you play as the wind and collect flower petals.
It is arguably one of the most peaceful experiences ever. You can get all three in one package and enjoy them for years to come. JRPGs are a massively popular genre of the industry, even in the west. Part of their appeal was thanks to the PS3, which had a huge library of these games for western audiences to enjoy. Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch may be one of the finest examples of the genre, and is the perfect entry point for anyone looking to break into the genre.
The story follows a young boy named Oliver. When his mother passes away after saving Oliver from drowning, his stuffed animal - a gift from his mother - comes to life. The game accomplishes this, thanks largely in part due to the artwork from acclaimed Studio Ghibli.
As the player explores, they must also battle monsters with human companions and familiars - captured enemy creatures that can fight for you. Ni no Kuni was highly praised and became one of the best-selling games on PS3. It is also a testament to the outstanding hardware on the PS3. The game was a glimpse into what would really be possible in the next generation of consoles.
The game follows three protagonists. The first is Michael, a professional criminal who retires after one final score that leaves him set for life. Years later, players take over as Franklin, a young and ambitious Black man looking to escape the environment he grew up in.
He is a parody of the deranged and violent behavior GTA players regularly engage in. It is also thought-provoking criticism of a sensationalist and egotistical culture. While many Mortal Kombat titles in the past were remembered for their excessive gore and not for their fighting engines, this iteration of Mortal Kombat is a legitimate competitive fighter, and it has enough gore to make parents run for the hills.
Even though the single-player modes are rife with imbalances, the core experience in Mortal Kombat is exciting, challenging, and so so bloody. I think we all can agree that the plotlines in Mortal Kombat are a bit ridiculous.
Ice ninjas, half-dragons and thunder gods are commonplace in this series. He kills everybody at the end of the Mortal Kombat storyline, so Raiden sends a message back through time to prevent it. The result? Alternate history. Mortal Kombat returns to a 2D plane in the Komplete Edition. When it comes to the basics, each character has a set of simple moves as well as a bunch of special attacks. The gauge is divided into three segments, and those segments can be spent in different ways.
The gameplay in Mortal Kombat will be different for those of you accustomed to the speed and fluidity of games like Super Street Fighter IV. Landing a combo and executing special moves is more visceral here then in other games. So, with exciting combat, bloody fatalities and tons of things to unlock, Mortal Kombat sounds incredible. For every cheap slip down a chasm or tumble over the edge of a staircase that sends you plummeting hundreds of feet to your death, there are dozens upon dozens that will teach you the cold, hard truths of this world: nearly every enemy is a potential life-ender, and a proper defense and careful use of your equipped weapon are paramount in every single encounter.
Every single person that owns a PS3 should at the very least rent this game to see what all the fuss is about, and those that can remember the good old days when games taught through the highly effective use of intense punishment and a heavy price for not playing should scoop this up instantly. It is the perfect blend of engaging gameplay and an emotionally complex and impactful story.
That explains why it was met with critical praise and showered with game of the year awards. I can't remember though for sure. Cess Member. Oct 27, 11, Mexicali, Mexico. I think you need to download them via Transaction History. I'd to do that last month when I got my PS3 and went to download all my stuff. Jun 20, 1, I just re-downloaded RE4 last night.
Worked fine for me. I did have to go find it in the the long ass download history list. RaySpace Banned. May 9, There's a "library" or "stuff I already own" section on the PS Store menu, it may be that you were looking for the games on the Store browser instead of downloading them from there.
RivalGT Member. Dec 13, 4, I have found that the list doesn't always have everything I own. Going to the actual store and looking for the game was how I downloaded some of my games.
But the download list on your account should be where you look fist, since navigating the store is a pain. Thanks all, disaster averted. Never knew about the download history list. It loads terribly and after doing a search it just kind of breaks.
