With less than a month from the U.S. launch, the crew spearheads a Sony Vita roundtable, offering a hands-on analysis of the hardware and launch line-up. Additionally, the team offers impressions of Pushmo, Zen Pinball 3D, Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD, StarHawk, Z.H.P. Unlosing Ranger Vs. Darkdeath Evilman as well as Lego Pirates of the Caribbean for the 3DS. Before venturing off for our customary dosage of game trivia and answers to reader mail, we also sit down with inXile Entertainment’s Jairo Silva to discuss Choplifter HD’s expedition onto now-gen consoles.
From the cosmos to crash-landing back on good old planet Earth, come read through the best sci-fi-nastically games on the PS3
Starhawk over Warhawk?...... Dude, NO ONE should listen to you.
Odd choices for "best" more like you settled as these being the "best" that available to you at the time, cause a lot of these blow or were average to poor performers that ended up in bargain bin.
Missing too many great sci-fi titles here. The Void, The Resistance Series, Killzone 2 and 3, Enslaved, man.. there were so many, this is redicu-list.
I agree that Starhawk shouldn't be above Warhawk, however I must say that Starhawk multiplayer was incredible for its time! Many people wrote it off bc the single player was quite terrible, bc it was basically 1 huge tutorial for the multiplayer. But I can tell you never spent any significant amount of time in MP. It was doing incredibly tense base building w air, foot and land vehicle (and mech!) combat long before Fortnite was ever a thing.
I bet it would have been much better received if it had just ditched the story mode all together. So many people like yourself completely wrote it off based on reviews by reviewers that let the criticism of single player weigh heavily on their scores. I bet you didn't even play it.
There's also the less acclaimed 'assault on dark Athena'
( also, not saying this to you specifically but there's both resistance and killzone games on the list, it's amazing how even something so simple and innocent as a game list can be turned into misinformed vitriol here lol )
Glad to see Resonance of Fate. Enslaved was pretty good too. I’m sure there are others nobody has listed but I’m too tired to try and think of anything
It's the Dawn of The Final Days for the 3DS. We've put together a list of the essential 3DS titles you should download now while you still can!
No need for that shit, mod your 3DS and have the whole collection for nothing. https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Here is a look at the new HD version of the game played on a PS5. I am not a fan of the camera system which makes viewing in third person harder than it should be but the game looks great otherwise.
I liked the game back when it was released, especially the squirrel-gun of course (were they squirrels? Not sure) and the other weapons, and some fun enemies. A genuinely original game, but I doubt I’ll bother with the remaster. When you look at the textures they really feel low-res and outdated.
Oddworld Abe’s Oddysee and Exoddus on PS1/PC are 10/10 phenomenal. Munch’s Oddysee is a 7, Stranger is a 6, New and Tasty is also a 6, and SoulStorm is sadly a 3. I’m a massive Oddworld fan and I have been incredibly disappointed with the series after the original two titles.
Good, fair Vita talk. This is one of the few shows I've heard that really seems honest about the system.
Damn good show this week. Keep it up!
Thanks for posting the show.
Sony is a hardware company. I'd be surprised if their console wasn't well built. Software is another story.
Good Choplifter HD interview.
