"In terms of exclusivity Sony has quite the impressive lineup. The game leading the charge is, of course, Metal Gear Solid 4, which seems to have carried the PS3's on its shoulders since it was unveiled. Like Ninja Gaiden, The MGS brand is better known for its excellence and not for its system selling abilities. The fourth installment could change that all; many on-the-fence gamers, like myself, are willing to use MGS4 as an excuse to finally buy a PS3. It has a lot to live up to and so far its looks to be doing just that, but we can only truly find out once the second quarter of 2008 comes about. Killzone 2 has wowed many with its stellar graphics and could very well become Sony's answer to Halo, although not a 'Halo Killer'. The PS3 needs that talismanic shooter and Killzone could be right for the job. Gran Turismo, the most prestigious of racers, will hopefully grace the system with its fifth installment by the end of the year; a huge advantage. Final Fantasy XIII will certainly open the lock to Japan's heart and put Sony back on the map in the east. Honorable mentions include Tekken 6, SOCOM, and possibly a new Jak & Daxter."
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."
Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.
Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.
Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.
That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.
Ar Tonelico 3 is good I still prefer the first AT game. The music is solid in all the games and Akiko Shikata is a very talented singer bringing life to the game. Only annoying part is well I find is Saki I always choose Finnel or Tyria. KOEI so needs to HD remaster the franchise along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge since it never came to North America. I would day one the Ar Toneliceo games and Ar Nosurge if they were remastered.
I still have the limited edition of Qoga unopened. Unfortunately it never went up in value like I had hoped all these years.
Used to own all these quirky JRPG on ps3 good times. Wish I would have kept them all
This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.
duh
Is 2008 Sony’s Year?
No
No doubt about it.
lol.... Yer if they pull their finger out their arse.
I was just playing Lair yesterday and the more I play it, the more intuitive it is for me to use the controls. A real gamer has no problem w/ it at all. I've only got two levels to go to finish this badboy and I must say one thing - Lair is a beautiful game; that cannot be denied.

2008 is definitely Sony's year to win or lose and other than not rolling out any games at all and discontinuing the PS3, I just don't see how they are going to lose. This is the year that marks the return of All the great PlayStation games we know and love and it marks the return of...wait for it.......the PS2 Nation. I'll be watching along with the rest of you. Take care.
