The Vine writes: Every gaming critic loves picking their Game of the Year. Even me (the idiot pictured above). But to be honest, it's far, far more edifying - and far easier - to pick a whole bunch of games that did it for them. And by did it, I mean ate up unfeasible amounts of time, and ensured the critic in question talked about nothing else with friends whilst playing. You know, the games that non-gamers were infuriated by throughout the year.
Well, here are my top ten games of 2013. Incidentally, this is also a great list of games to pick up if you missed out on them, and I'll endeavour to explain why in each entry. They aren't in any particular order, so let's begin!
While gamers usually take notice of the mainline missions, these 5 side quests deserve more widespread attention for how entertaining they are.
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."
You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is
That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.
Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion
Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*
*As per Wikipedia
Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
Sony is hosting its traditional conference just before the 2024 International CES in Las Vegas. Of course, PlayStation played a part in the celebrations.

I didn't even know a movie was coming. If they can get the visuals and everything right I'll watch it.
I didn't either, until this article. I'm also surprised, since GR was a commercial flop. Seems weird that they'd want to invest money into making it into a film.
I think the games are great though, especially on Vita. I think the move to PS4 killed the experience a little, but I'd still like to see a new one.
I didn’t know it was in development ether but it makes sense after they saw the first doctor strange movie and the far from home fight, if it’s like that’s it’s going to be one of those Oscar nominees
@Cacabunga
Oh yeah... Well there goes any hope for a new game. Shuttering Japan Studio was a really bad decision.
Surely you’d think if the movie is coming so is another game
And I couldn’t be happier.
Only played the demo of gr2 but let me say it’s one of the most artistic and inventive new games. Ps5 will power gr3 to new heights
Fingers crossed
Made my day hearing this.
Finally, something innovative
GR2 flopped, which would they make a new game? A movie has more appeal and a successful hit at the bix office, could lead to a new game for the franchise
Ok, I’ll stop sitting on Gravity Rush 2. It’s been in my library for only 8 years.
Play Gravity Rush Remastered first if you haven't already, the stories are linked together. GR 2 is a fantastic game, it has a lot of stuff to see and do. In fact I have purposefully not completed the game 100% because I simply didn't want the game to end. I still have some trophies to collect, and a whole free story DLC chapter to play through.
Gravity Rush 3 would be amazing! But the team that made parts 1 and 2 were shut down, so I don't expect it to happen. This was Jim Ryan's biggest sin of all, shutting down PlayStation Japan Studios. What a shame.
Why not both? I really like the games and was disappointed we didn't get a third game to finish off the story, but I wouldn't mind a movie either if it's well done. Maybe it'll drum up enough interest to get us that third game.
damn that is aaalot of ppl
id rather have another Gravity Rush game than a movie tbh
Same. This series really resonates with my gaming spirit. I love these games so much that I got four platinums out of two games. I was always dreading that we would never get another game after Japan Studio's closure, but I'm feeling hopeful in them not giving up on the franchise with this move. My guess is that they're going to use this as a funding point
