PSU's Top 10 Multiplatformers of 2008

Posted on January 12th, 2008 at 01:17 EDT

2007 was one of the greatest years in recent memory for the world of video games. Many blockbuster titles were released from almost every genre thinkable. Halo 3 broke sales records, Uncharted brought a beautiful world to life, and Super Mario Galaxy brought the kid out of everyone. All of these games were exclusive and that’s where the problem lies. PSU.com is here to give you its top 10 games that we’re looking forward to most in 2008. We have narrowed this list down to only multi-platform titles, that way every reader can take interest in it. We’ve also included 3 runner-ups that just barely missed the cut.

Our readers can fully expect our top 10 list of PS3 exclusive titles for 2008 coming soon.

Runners Up:

Dark Sector
Developer: Digital Extremes


Dark Sector was one of the first next gen titles announced for PlayStation 3 way back in E3 2004. Then in 2006, the game was shown having a completely revamped graphical style going from spaceship sci-fi to a gritty post Chernobyl Eastern USSR .

Gamers will play as the CIA Agent named Hayden Tenno who is sent to an Eastern Europe city named Lasria to extract information. While there, Hayden is attacked by an unknown enemy and awakens to find part of his body altered by an infection, granting him inhuman abilities.



Based on our hands on time with the game, we'd have to say that Dark Sector will be one of the better 3rd person shooters to release this year. Combining eeiry sounds, beautiful blood filled graphics, and a great science fiction storyline, this is definitely a title to keep an eye on.


Frontlines: Fuel of War
Developed by Kaos Studios


If you thought you couldn’t be fed anymore oil propaganda than you have already, you’re only kidding yourself. Frontlines: Fuel of War is just that. A game based around WWIII and the eventual fight for whatever little is left of the pure black gold substance. Countries would inevitably kill for it and you’re about to start doing just that. What this game comes down to is the Western Coalition Army Vs the Red Star Alliance. Prepare for some heavy hitting action both off and online.



With offline play featuring a non-linear format where you’re allowed to complete missions however you’d like so long as you complete the objectives and an online system that features 64 players per game, it’s almost guaranteed to be a title you can’t pass up. Even with a slew of war games released every year, this one looks to definitely set itself apart from the rest. If any of the top 10 games were to be removed, this would surely replace it.


Condemned 2: Bloodshot
Developer: Monolith Productions


Condemned 2: Bloodshot is not for the faint of heart, nor the young and innocent. In a world where macabre environments reek with sadistic mutilated hobos, players must deal with their surroundings and investigate mysteries of missing persons including their lost partner.

Now if you are a fan of Condemned, you’ll be familiar with the creepy environments of the original; however instead of rundown subway stations and schools, players will now tour such locations as a flame engulfed Doll Factory. Dave Hasle, the games Senior Producer stated, “Because of the attention to detail and the in-depth storyline that we want to provide to the players, we are still mostly linear. We have opened up our environments though, to allow the player to move around complete environments to find more forensic events, to complete secondary objectives and even bonus or secret areas.”



Also other major improvements featured in Condemned 2 include:
- Ability to throw glass bottles, debris, bowling pins, etc
- Improved A.I. which will take cover and used ranged weapons
- Online Co-op and multiplayer modes including one called “Circle of Death”

GTA IV is going to be the game for 2008. If I was any other developer, I would get my product out before that, or waaaay after it.

Wasn't there an article earlier stating that Liberty City isn't as big as San Andreas, but just more complex? 1 whole hour to traverse the city? Crazy. Wait a sec. Is that 1 hour clock time or 1 hour game-clock time? Full throttle or by the speed limit? Ahhh! Too many questions, never enough answers.

soul 645 i disagree mate, in all the games that have used character creation the storyline is really weak because you have to cater for name changes an stuff, but by allowing you to customiaze a character already established (like you will be able 2 in gta) it keeps the storyline immersive.

On my list Burnout would be a bit higher and a couple of the honorable mentions would have made it.  Otherwise not too bad of a list.

I'm not saying it isn't a great console, I own one myself, But praising the system on a PS only website is a little stupid In my opinion. Go to an Xbox site and praise the PS3. See how many fanboys flame on you.

About The Last Remnant being simultaneously released, I'm going to be really surprised if it actually is. Sqaure Enix is THE greatest developer of all time, but Advent Children was gonna be simultaneously released too. Instead we got it half a year later. And honestly, I don't see the point or fun of GTA games besides emotionless killing and destruction. Violence and gore I can understand in a game like Gears Of War, because it's war and that's really what happens. But I just don't see why everyone loves GTA so much. Personally I think the games are totally boring and pointless. And also, will Fallout 3 be all open about stuff like Oblivion was? Because that would be beyond awesome if it is.

So why did you delete my message? Look don't expect people not to flame when you prasie a 360 game

"The 360 is a fantastic gaming console, closed minded individuals will fail to realize that, but that's their own problem." You and I know thats an opinion and I don't want to name countless flaws on it.

actually it does because you failed to act with common sense and a sense of dignity

"SouL65414 GTA IV aint all dat doe, U CNT EVN MAKE UR OWN CHARACTER, WDF!!!, Saints Row 2 will kill it!!" Listen here Soul, if Saints Row will beat GTA IV , I'm going to pay you to live your whole life without doing nothing

Why do you threatend and put yourself higher than others? How am I incapable  when it makes total sence. You did not respect the PS society telling a majority of us were close minded. Look live your life disable able me if you can but remember this I would never buy a console with a fear of if not lasting long even if it had the best game in the world. I guess some of us just don't see money as an issue.

DaveW don't take this the wrong way but, this is a comment section where people are free to post their thoughts and opinions am I right? I mean how is someone speaking of their dislike for a game/console any different from someone expressing their like for a game/console. They're both opinions am I right? So why is one allowed when the other is banned? I mean I can completely understand if somebody makes an inappropriate or derogatory comment.

 

I understand your trying to prevent a war but, this is the internet, this is a playstation website. Now I know your not so ignorant to think a comment praising another console on a playstation website would go unscathed. If your going to delete somebody elses comments for promoting a flamewar then you must delete yours as well otherwise your argument for trying to prevent a flamewar goes out the window. Atleast consider the point I'm trying to make here.

Listen this was not said respectfully "The 360 is a fantastic gaming console, closed minded individuals will fail to realize that, but that's their own problem."  So if  we dont think the xbox is fantastic where closed minded huh

LOL.... you can be god of the user comments section... get a life... i guess i have to much bigger better things to worry about, then taking away peoples constitutional right to free speech...
