Re: Feature: Must-Have PlayStation 3 Games - Sammy's Picks

@ShogunRok Uncharted 2 is an incredible masterpiece of this generation, and I was sorely disappointed with Uncharted 3. Uncharted 3 tried to hard to be hardcore and gritty and semi-ruined what made the 2nd game great. Uncharted 2 was great because it was hilarious, and had these subtle, but powerful moments. In an attempt to make Uncharted more difficult they added a bunch of cheap enemies that kill you easily, and took out most of the jokes, and the group dynamic that made UC2 so wonderful. Naughty Dog has a bunch of great COMEDY writers, but they are very bad at writing drama.

Also I adore GoW I & II, but despise GOW III with a passion Stig ruined the series. Jaffe and Corey created something magnificent Stig did not entirely grasp what made the first 2 games great and added some forced pureness of the heart storyline. I really wanted to like GOW III, but that game rubbed me the wrong way. One thing it did improve though was the combat system. However Story, Boss fights, level variety, atmosphere, art direction, magic, puzzles, music, level design, weapon variety, and pacing all took a hit.

The potential is there, but I doubt they will do much with the connectivity. The move is an amazing piece of tech, when I first saw the development videos of it I wanted one instantly. It's been a year and Sony has still been very tepid with its releases. The original content is disappointing things like Playstation move heroes and the ape escape games could have been amazing, but they didn't do justice to the series they came from. The other exclusives are just games that have optional move support, which is nice but I can play them with my dual shock 3 and the only shooter I really like is Uncharted. All the the 3rd party stuff is just Wii games I already played. Sony could definitely do amazing things with Vita and PS3 connectivity, but I doubt they will do much. I'm buying the Vita for the games, the possible connectivity is just a bonus.
