US Playstation Magazine rates Lair 5.0; Warhawk 6.5

German gaming webstite Gamefront has posted an image of the latest Playstation Magazine issue, in which both Lair and Warhawk have been reviewed. Both games will be in stores at around August/September but Playstation Magazine does not seem very happy with both games, as the magazine rates Warhawk 6.5, and Lair even lower: 5.0.

In the image of the magazine, you can see that Lair is described as: "A one-trick dragon" and destroys it with a 5.0 rating. Warhawk on the other hand is described as: "A third-person shooter that never quite gets off the ground", and rates the game with only a 6.5. The image can been see below.

wow wasn't expecting the 5.0 this thread isn't going to end well

Lair is still a rental for me, graphics are just too good not to check them out on my LCD TV

chasegamez6090d ago (Edited 6090d ago )

paid off by microsoft
i played the beta
this game is good sh!t the most fun
you might have this year

ReconHope6090d ago (Edited 6090d ago )

God forbid a game doesn't live up to its hype...grow up people ..it happens on "all systems"..you cant have them all. The PS3 has got plenty more exclusives coming. That doesn't change the fact that we will be seeing xbox fanboys here trolling the "ps3 section" anyway. lol

ALI-G6090d ago (Edited 6090d ago )

BS3 owner .especially if you are DUMB@@ closed minded fanboy own only BS3

tplarkin76090d ago

"Trolling" the PS3 section? The news is posted on the top page. But I agree with the fact that hyped games can be letdowns. But the PS3 really needs good games, desperately.

ReconHope6090d ago (Edited 6090d ago )

wow! case closed... no wonder you have one bubble. The ps3 has great games now. Desperate for games is an exaggeration. I dont see that many AAA games for the wii or 360 so your pretty biased when you say that.

JsonHenry6090d ago

Sad news for me. I was actually looking forward to both of these titles. I am still going to rent them and try it for myself. A game does not have to be perfect for me to still enjoy it.

Oh well, good thing I own an Xbox 360 and a top notch PC. Cause Command and Conquer 3 on my PC as well as Bioshock will keep me entertained for a while. ;)

Also, cant wait to play the demo of two worlds!

MikeGdaGod6090d ago (Edited 6090d ago )

i know nothing about Lair so whatever......BUT

Warhawk is one of the best games to come out this year on any system.......PERIOD

after playing it for weeks, no one can tell me different...NO ONE

edit: how can people that never played Warhawk disagree? luckily for you, i don't give a sh!t :)

closedxxx6090d ago

For all of the SONY fanatics that kept posting "JUST WAIT!!! JUST WAIT!!!! LAIR, WARHAWK, MGS4, BARBIE'S HORSE FARM!!!"

The KEN KUTARAGI6090d ago

LOL

PWNT

Hahahaha.... And some people were heralding at least one of these titles as "THE NEXT BIG THING" for SONY...

If that's true... SONY is F*CKED IN THE A$$!!!

Mk Red6090d ago

SONY is no longer a threat!! LOL

It looks like "AAA" title has a new meaning for sony

Aweful

LOL!!!!

Kaze886090d ago

Archaic and bill gate5 are you two like 8 year olds? Seriously, phatetic! One bad review and your screaming and jumping like a marathon winner.
Ill be waiting for more reliable reviews from other magazines and test the demos before judging.

Btw Heavenly sword is an AAA title and it had 100/100 in play magazine ;D

witchking6090d ago

Have you seen how many games get a 85 or more in Play? That magazine's average rating must be close to 85.

larry0076090d ago (Edited 6090d ago )

PSM intentionally gave LAIR and WARHAWK bad scores

blackmagic6090d ago

Yeah cause giving bad scores to Lair and Warhawk are going to sell tons of PSM magazines and totally skyrocket his career.

What a moron.

It's unfortunate that the games aren't doing well with reviewers... atleast Heavenly Sword looks to be a great upcoming title.

what a great start to the day! =]

I'm taking my PS3's, games, and peripherals back to the store right now. PSYCHE!!!!!!

Keyser6090d ago

Yeah, exactly. I don't put much stock into these reviews. I'll buy them and if they're right then I admit it but they are looking at something that I'm not and I haven't heard any justification for the reviews except

"I don't like dragons"
"It should have MP"
"It should have single player"

That's just not enough for me.

Loudninja6090d ago

To tell you the truth its odd/

Red6090d ago

very refreshing. That shows they're not biased. So when they give a great review of a PS3 game, it can be trusted.

SuperSaiyan46090d ago

I really do hate the triggers on the PS3 pad, they need to fix that and add rumble...Just thought i let others know its just not the games that are cr@p on the PS3.

Madmax12819806090d ago

I totally agree about the triggers on the sixaxis there too flat and that makes it hard to press for long periods of time specially while playing racing games once my fingers get a bit sweatty they start slipping off. they should have curved them like the 360 triggers and for rumble that would be better too i played the 360 and ps3 ver of colin mcrae dirt and its better with rumble.

CG6090d ago

Games that are considered triple A for ps3 are the equivillant to a mediocre game for the 360.

360 triple A games = scores of 9s and 10s
PS3 triple A games = scores 6s and 7s

Its now obvious that the 360 gamers has far higher standards than the ps3 gamers lol.

aaquib26090d ago

It means that reviewers EXPECT more from PS3 than they do on 360. Lower scores mean that reviewers want the developers to utilize all the power in PS3 not found in the XBOX like Bluray, CELL, RSX.

Go ask anyone who doesn't work for Microsoft, PS3 is more powerful. NUFF SAID.

darkequitus6090d ago

A good game is a good game. so end your s*it that PS3 game are not getting good review because the full power of the machine is not being used. So calling all car and geometry war are crap then?

ParaDise_LosT6090d ago

I was gonna take you seriously...
but when you included the 'RSX' in Ps3s advantages...
I lost all respect for your post...

Madmax12819806090d ago (Edited 6090d ago )

@aaquib2 get real the rsx is old about 2 years in fact and only has 256mb of mem the 360 gpu is new and has 512mb mem the ps3 only has 1 advantage over the 360 and thats blu ray.

Roundtable: Dead Game Franchises We Miss

With every big game now belonging to a big intellectual property, there are those that have become redundant. Here are the series' we miss.

RPGer1087d ago

I miss Dark Cloud I mean damn, Dark Cloud 2 is one of the best Action RPG game ever made. The game have: Rich Worlds, different setting, tons of contents, vareity in gameplay like never before (and even after), best buliding mechanics, crafting system like no one did and finally impressive graphics.

Most underrated game ever. It deserved the popularity and sales of Zelda and Final Fantasy. ut unfortunately, Level-5 and Sony didn't advertise it at all.

titans99991087d ago

My franchises I wish would make a come back, are Battlefront by pandemic studios - galactic conquest was the best, mercenaries 1 and 2, and prototype 1 and 2...great games!

Top 10 Bad Games by Good Studios

Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "When shopping for new video games you can often trust the name publisher or developer on the box to be an indication of the quality of the game. Names like Nintendo, Square Enix, Sony Interactive Entertainment, Capcom, Xbox Game Studios and Sega are world famous because they helped shape the industry by releasing some of the most defining video games of all time. Though sometimes even these great gaming houses stumble and put out a stinker."

Splatterhouse remake . Loved the og’s at the arcade growing up . Hell the best thing about the remake was the og,s were included . And left alive by Square . That game had so much potential , but the gameplay was worse horrendous .

Game-ur1389d ago

once Great studios getting destroyed is actually common. happened with ND and Last of Us2, Bioware and Mass Effect Andromeda/Anthem, Bungle and Destiny .

BeRich2331389d ago

Fuse should have been on that list (Insomniac Games)

Yui_Suzumiya1389d ago

Splatterhouse remake kicked ass

merryja1389d ago

I personally don't like these games.

East76lands1389d ago

I'm pretty much certain that any Sonic game that comes out will be terrible, I've not enjoyed one since the original side-scrolling days of the MegaDrive.

HarryMasonHerpderp1389d ago

Then you might like a recent sonic "sonic mania".

jaymacx1389d ago

For this Topic it says Good Studios that make bad games. Sonic Team hasn't been good in years.

How often do disappointing games get remakes

darthv721866d ago (Edited 1866d ago )

well... if disappointing movies can get remakes then why not games? some of these have really good premise but somewhat disappointing execution. In the right hands they could be great.

I quite enjoyed lair (after the patch), too human and the order 1886. I'd even add in quantum break and recore as disappointing but with a good premise.

gangsta_red1866d ago

"well... if disappointing movies can get remakes then why not games?"

But how many disappointing movies actually get those? I'm still waiting for a remake of Howard the Duck.

darthv721866d ago

^nothing disappointing about howard the duck. It is cheesy 80's goodness.

gangsta_red1866d ago

When you're right, you're right.

rainslacker1866d ago

@Gangsta

Wasn't there a rumor that they were looking at making another Howard the Duck? He had a cameo in GoTG2.

Love that movie for how bad it was. That and Garbage Pail Kids.

DrumBeat1865d ago

The Order was a fresh experience. Not the most compelling game, but I didn't want to put it down, and platted it. Good for what it was.

Quantum was something different as well, but a little less fun to actually play, imo. The 'acting' was done in a cheese factory too. Completed one path and never returned to it.

FFXIV was already remade, and it's probably the beat thing Square has put out in years.

notachance1866d ago

yes, I was giving an example of disappointing games remade to be a great game

thorstein1866d ago

Every time sites need clicks. Just look at the obligatory: i wAnT cLIcKs tEh OrDer 1886 pIcTUrE.

JonathanHarris1866d ago

It's really not super often, but it does happen!

Mostly we see cult favorites come back around but in the recent case of Shaq-Fu we really saw a truly awful game see new life (not great life but at least new).

It's something I'd love to see a lot more of.

Too Human yeah I remember that game smh😂

Inzo1866d ago

The Order has its faults yes but it had a fantastic atmosphere and some great gameplay. A game with enormous potential and far from disappointing. I say give Ready at Dawn another crack at it because I think they created an diamond with some rough edges that just needs some tlc.

Dreamcatcher451866d ago

Problem was the repetitive boss fights. I liked the gunplay, cover system and somewhat the story.

hulk_bash19871866d ago (Edited 1866d ago )

It did have fantastic atmosphere, I'll give you that. But gameplay pretty much played out like short gunfire segments interlaced with walking/sneaking + QTE events. Gameplay was the weakest point of The Order because RAD prioritized world building and graphical detail. Ut was disappointing because it didnt live up to the massive potential it haf. If they were given another shot at a sequel, I hope they can learn from their mistakes.

notachance1866d ago

gameplay was meh but the world had potential, in my ideal world it'd have Mass Effect kind of gameplay

Prubar1866d ago

I waited till The Order was discounted and went in with certain expectations and wasn’t disappointed. Just like Quantum Break. Great concept just needed a little extra meat on the bones.

rainslacker1866d ago

I had high hopes before it released. They were curbed some by the early previews, and while I found faults with the game, and it was obviously released unfinished, I still enjoyed it. The lore, acting, graphics, and world itself were excellent.

JonathanHarris1866d ago

I agree that it had some awesome atmosphere and the gameplay wasn't awful, but that potential is exactly why I put it on this list. I actually loved playing the game (same as some of the other games I put on this list such as Army of Two) But I would just love to see what could happen if it fulfilled some of that potential, ya know? Could have had the next incredible Sony franchise to rival God of War.

The order should have had a sequel. The first one wasn't bad just needed a few tweaks.

robtion1866d ago

I would love a sequel to The Order. It is still a great game.

Lair had a great concept and could be amazing with the current technology available. A Lair-like ps5 game could be incredible.
