Brian Crecente from Kotaku writes "I've played Ubisoft's real-time strategy game R.U.S.E. plenty of times with gamepads and keyboards, But this week was my first chance to check it out using the Playstation MOVE: And I loved it."
Just a little while ago, Major Nelson posted on Twitter that Dante’s Inferno and R.U.S.E. have been added to the ever-growing list of backward compatible Xbox games. The games are available for purchase through the digital store, or just insert your old disc and the game should automatically download. As a [Continue Reading]
If they would add Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge and Ninja Gaiden 2 to BC I'd jazz my pants.
True, it's rare to play a game with moderate to no expectations then have your mind blown away!
The unfortunate thing is that at the time many reviewers were not kind to it because it did Castlevania differently and because it copied from God of War. i found those reviews sad because they missed a great game for stupid reasons. Same for Dante's Inferno.
One thing is for sure, we were the lucky ones 👍🏻
I immediately got a God of War vibe but it was done so well that I didn't care that it deviated from the series so much.
The story, the setting, the Sir Patrick Stewart, the gameplay, all wonderful!
Don't forget the music it is amazing.
I thought the same and that's what those journslists keep missing. Games copy from each other all the time and since the begining, GoW itself borrowed from games like Devil May Cry and Rygar but it is the excution that should also count and everything about this game was top quality.
Nice to see a fellow gamer who enjoyed the same rare gems.
Surprised that RUSE has been added. Wasn’t that game taken off Steam and the Microsoft Store a few years back due to publisher rights issues?
A look at some great, Sony strategy titles. All games are ranked according to gameplay, graphics, and overall replay value.
10) Disgeae 4: A promise Unforgotten
7) Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention
5) Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice
Two problems with this
Detention was a PSV game and in what world was Disgaea 3 better than 4?
Because as you can probably guess this was a badly put together and researched list. Was basically just every STG title to appear or be talked about by Sony.
Loved Deadblock and Awesomenauts especially - but I'm glad to see that Plants vs ZOmbies was tops! I was so excited when this was added to PS+, and really I feel that just about anyone can jump into it. Not too over the top military, great gameplay and simple mechanics.
Glad to see at least one of these comments offers something meaningful to the discussion!
What is the answer to 99 out of 100 questions? Money…
You need look no further than the strategy gaming genre for confirmation. I recall a time. A very long time ago, when finding a good strategy game was as easy as stopping at an Electronics Boutique, and going to the strategy section. You could pick out almost any game and not miss.
These days that’s not the case. Why? Well, money, and “they” think we Americans are stupid.
I wonder it XCOM will deliver, and finally fill that void missing in consoles. Nothing really worthy in the strategy genre.
All those games that IGN and gamespot rate with a 7 or 8, like Halo Wars and such, it should be more like 3's or 4's.
Those games utterly suck. About the only game that has gotten it right on the console is R.U.S.E
I disagree very strongly with you. Ensemble did an OUTSTANDING job with Halo Wars. Go on there on any given weekend and you'll see there are more players in that than Halo 3. They built the game from the ground up for a console, and it shows. Albeit, the game is pretty simple compared to pc-strategy games, but the reason for that is obvious, the controller. I have played that game a lot and can say that it is still fun, relaxing, and a great change of pace.
Tell me please, how does Halo Wars "utterly suck"?
It's still here, I enjoy playing the Total War series so much. The mods for each one keep it fresh, and the Third Age Total War mod for Medieval Total War II (Based off the LotR) has kept me busy for weeks. Continuous DLC for Shogun Total War II adds days of game play and makes it feel like a new game each time you run it. Games like Tropico and Sim City can have you invested in spending time building and sustaining massive cities for weeks/days as well. When Rome Total War II comes out at retail, the strategy genre will boom yet again, and will usher in a new era of what a RTS/Strategy game should be considered.
Dood mods are fucking awesome
Ive brrn playing the Game of Thrones mod myself
And to answer this narrow-minded title
They're on PC!
I miss dune 2000! I hate going through hoops to try to play it. The only game that kept me so captivated that i played for over 24 hours straight!
even kotaku cannot deny what the Move does....
Would love to see a Gundam themed version of this.
Move will do well on the hardcore market, it just gets better every day.
I only can see pure Success.
Killzone 3, amazing Implementation with better precision.
Now this RTS and is better than DS3 Controller.
Move is getting better and better.
that sony was right in going with move.
"IT JUST WORKS."
wii ports coming,new ips coming,updates to psn games coming,3D coming.
as ken k. said.."FUTURE PROOF."
