Gamer.tm has published a list of what it believes are the years best games.
It's a pretty unsurprising list, except for one notable omission.
Tripwire Interactive's Killing Floor debuted 15 years ago, birthing a critically acclaimed series and a new publishing arm.
They don't make games like this anymore.
Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.
Agreed with those sentiments. The quality of the CPU controlled characters make or break a stealth game and they are pretty poor in all the Splinter Cell games by today's standard. This is what led me to playing Spies vs Mercs all the time in later games just to get a better stealth experience from a real person. Arguably Sony are making better stealth games albeit not Tom Clancy stuff.
GB: "With this feature, we will be taking a look at 15 of the most interesting facts about the PS3."
I knew all of those things. I'll add one that many dont know (if you are a hardware person you do). you CAN actually swap bluray drives between systems. The drives themselves are interchangeable but the board that interfaces is not. So anyone who has a dead optical drive can just get a replacement and swap the interface board and be back to reading discs in no time. I've had to do this myself on both a 20gb B01 as well as a 40gb L01 unit.
you can also replace the spinning hdd with an SSD for improved (not life changing) performance as well as quieter and cooler system reliability. The physical spinning drives draw more current and generate heat as a result. Using an SSD means no moving parts and thus will have less current draw and reduced fan noise from not having to spin as much as usual to offset any heat generated by the spinning hdd.
I never even thought of that. If I can ever track down a reasonable true backward compatibility one the first thing I'll do is ssd it up.
Still one of my favorite Playstations next to the Playstations that came before it and after it.
You missed some great games then. Especially the variety. Ps3 lacked compared to before and after.
It had great games but it lacked compared to every other ps system. The variety went out the window. Game budgets got higher that's when developers stopped taking chances. Indies weren't quite going full speed like the ps4 generation. It's my least favorite of all the Playstation. Also jrpgs disappeared like a mf, there were some but sht compared to previous gens.
WTF is PGR4 doing there? Or Skate?
Where are:
The Orange Box / Portal, Rock Band (WTF, GH3 is doing there?), Zack & Wiki, Metroid Prime 3, Crysis, Ratchet & Clank TOP, UT3, God Of War 2, AC...
Sure, there are many good games to fill a top 10 BUT when a list that has Skate, RE4 Wii and Guitar Hero 3 instead of ones mentioned above, it's clear to me that they must have been high or something.
of those games can be had on the 360.
i find that list to be nothing short of meh....
This list serves only one purpose for the makers of it. And that's to get a rise out of people that feels Halo3, R/C should be on that list instead of some of those they chose.
The funny thing is, being that no one cares what their taste is anyway, they're getting no responses...self owning.
