CVG's The Most Overlooked Games of '07

It's been a truly spectacular year for games, but for every Halo 3 and Super Mario Galaxy there's been one quality title that's been shoved into the sideline thanks to a huge marketing budget. Here's CVG's pick of some titles you may have missed.

With all those Christmas vouchers and upcoming January sales, CVG thought it'd be a good idea to recommend where you should put your moth-eaten cash.

Selling well in Europe. Uncharted outsold Assassin's Creed for the PS3 last week.

It's something. Give it time. I think once people are out of the Christmas season and done with the party games they will return to the single player game genre and find Uncharted fits the bill nicely.

Rachet and Clank seem to be suffering from the same phenomenon.

QuackPot5976d ago (Edited 5976d ago )

the reason for great games not selling well. Not all owners are going to like games like UDF or R&C or even UT3.

The Ps3's diverse ownership base and subsequent game tastes will be a problem while the install base is under 10 million.

Compare this to the majority of xbox 360 owners who just love shooters or action games and will gladly buy most games released.

Plus if you own multiple consoles then you'll get you game fix from the console that provides it.

my 360 will be the shooter console and my soon to be open ps3 will be for the other genres. except for MGS4, thats one shooter that a ps3 exclusive

Uncharted just doesn't grab alot of attention. When I think about buying a ps3, I don't even have that game on my list! I heard the reviews, I know it's good, but it just doesn't grab me! For a game like that, I think a woman should have been the lead character, as in Tomb Raider has made it seem appropriate for that type of game. The main character in U:DF just looks too out of place!

Rachet and clank is targeted more toward the kids, and let's face it, only a small percentage of adults bought this game, and alot of parents thought it would be a stupid idea to buy their kids a $600 (now $400) game system that might get abused by their kids, in the near future!

I gave my own answers... But the real question is, with so few quality games on the Ps3, why haven't owners been buying these quality games?

If you're wanting more PSVR 2 support, you should probably buy all of these games.

Speak with your wallet!

Profchaos47d ago

Bit rich to have to buy games you don't want because you want Sony to support the expensive headset they sold us which cost as much as the console it runs on beyond paying third partys to support it.
Seriously in terms of first party we have horizon on day 1 and a gt 7 vr mode.

They seemingly have made little effort to support it beyond paying Capcom to make re games in VR or a second party studio to make firewall which was mismanaged.

I'm a day 1 psvr2 user and the only thing I'm excited for right now is PC support.

I commented recently this bespoke VR game development model we have right now clearly doesn't work

crazyCoconuts47d ago

On the one hand I feel like there's been plenty of smaller non-AAA games to play and occupy me as a supplement to my flat screen gaming.
But I agree that Sony has done nothing to elevate this beyond the niche it's in and into the mainstream where it would be economical to create AAA games for it.

Babadook746d ago (Edited 46d ago )

Most of these games are worth owning for most people; I own all but 2 of them in fact. So I agree with kevco33. I think you're crazy if you downplay this list quite frankly. Sony can't keep funding software if people don't buy any of it, the ball is squarely in OUR court.

Sony has spent a lot on 3rd party stuff this gen like RE.

phoenixwing47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

Saving up for the headset is my first hurdle. Let alone buying games I don't want lol

mudakoshaka46d ago

People downvoting you for not having enough finances...what a world we live in, haha

phoenixwing46d ago (Edited 46d ago )

@mudako
They feel affronted at the very thought that I don't plunk down 500 immediately lol I have a little over 900 games in my backlog I've been buying games instead of hardware ever since I got my PC and ps5. I just don't know if vr is really for me honestly. Every time I have a couple hundred allocated to video games it makes more sense to buy a bunch of flat games instead of vr ones

mudakoshaka46d ago

I have 9 out of these 10 games. I try to buy all the VR games I like to support the advancement of VR!

TheEroica46d ago (Edited 46d ago )

I spoke with my wallet after watching the first headset get weak support. Easy pass until Sony earns my money. Feel bad for those who parted with 500 bucks, falling for the hype that Sony was actually gonna support this thing.

I own 7 of these titles off the list, lol.

NotoriousWhiz47d ago

I'm trying to decide if it's worth holding onto my psvr 2. I enjoy what it has currently, but it seems unlikely to get anything else. Might be better off just waiting for something with more support if that ever comes.

Profchaos46d ago

As a fellow psvr2 owner the question seemingly comes down to do you own a PC.

I think I'm all in I have a habit to hold onto my systems anyhow I still have my psvr1 to hell I still have my NES.

But while it's still worth something yeah you could sell it and if Sony turns the ship around you should be able to buy another one for less than you soldmit for I feel like we won't see any fix for the headset for the next 2 years rumours show that Sony has no current first party VR games in active development after they closed London studios

The whole psvr2 situation has left me feeling a little burnt on PlayStation as a whole to be honest. The first psvr felt experimental but it was supported far more than this superior headset

MIDGETonSTILTS1747d ago

GT7 surprised me, because I hate racing games, but i poured 100 hours into it way too quickly.

I’m looking forward to the Metro VR game this year, and I hope that WW2 dogfighter game releases eventually.

talocaca47d ago

I have most of them 😅

Waiting for a sale on Synapse and Arizona Sunshine 2.....also Metro coming this year looks great.
