Top 10 Hidden Gems for the PS3

Top 10 Hidden Gems for the PS3

Are there any games you feel didn’t get the proper respect that they deserve. Here is my top ten list of PS3 games that not many people are talking about.

#10 Singularity

If you are looking for something like Bioshock this is your game. Singularity is by all means a hidden Gem. Overshadowed by the latest Call of Duty at the time this game has heart. I really enjoyed the time machine bending mechanic which allows the player to go change between the past and present and even use time as a weapon. The game is fairly linear and can be a bit repetitive but it makes up for it in gameplay. This game is by no means perfect but it is a great ride.

#9 Legendary

Legendary is a weird game. The premise is your typical end of the shooter with werewolves and griffons. The game is like a weird mix of Halo and Van Helsing. There are tons of mythical creatures to mow down. This game wont win any awards for ingenuity but it is very entertaining.

#8 Naughty Bear Gold Edition

This is a fun little sandbox game where the whole premise of the game is to kill the happy teddy bears as fast and as gruesome as you can.

#7 Xmen Origins Wolverine

This game surprised me. I did not graphic as it is. Xmen Origins is a movie game that actually turned out to be good. The gameplay is fairly Linear but you wont find another Wolverine Game where he is chopping off heads with helicopter blades. As a added bonus you can even play in the iconic Yellow and blue suit! #6. Stranglehold Collector's Edition Stranglehold Is a third person action shooter that has you play in the shoes of John Woo. The Game does a great job at making you feel like a total bad ass with slow motion dives and slow motion bullets

#6

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West

This game would have taken the number one spot if I had not seen this game on multiple lists. I still felt that it was worth mentioning. I Loved playing this game it is a shame we did not get a sequel. Game play is very similar to Uncharted in the climbing sections. The story is a loose based of of Journey to the West. The game's story follows Monkey who is forced to escort Trip home safely after they survive a ship crash.

#5. Puppeteer

The art style in this game is amazing. Too bad it did not get the audience it deserved. As a indie Developer I love to see games that are not only fun to play but visually are amazing to look at. You plays as a puppet who wields magical scissors to get his head back. Puppeteer is a great platformer with tons of hidden areas and places to explore. Give this game a shot its definitely worth your time.

#4 The Saboteur

I sank tons of hours playing through Nazi filled France attempting to Liberate it and bring color back to the world. That wasn’t a play on words you literally bring color back into the world. The Nazi occupied areas are like jumping into an old black and white movie. Essentially this is Grand theft auto with Nazis.

#3 Beowulf

Okay this one was kind of a stretch, but I must admit i enjoyed playing it. Essentially a God of War clone with Beowulf. The games has a morality mechanic that didn’t really play out all too well but the action and cool creature design is cool to see. I feel this game had potential. If not for some clumsy platforming and being kind of a short game Beowulf deserves a try.

#2 3d Dot Heroes

Essentially Legend of Zelda for the PlayStation with updated graphics. You can update your sword and swipe the entire screen of monsters What’s cool about this games is that you can create your own character. I have seen people recreate Link and other really cool pixel art characters like ninjas and even Crash Bandicoot.

#1 Hydrophobia

The number one spot has to go to Hydrophobia. Hydrophobia is a survival horror game that takes things in a different direction. Instead of zombies, Nazis or demons, Hydrophobia uses water as the main scare. Hydrophobia places you in a sinking ship with an evil corporation trying to kill you every step of the way. For only $3.99 On the PSN store you owe yourself to get this little gem.
