By Derek Garcia Published Apr 06, This character action game takes place in a world where humanity has mysteriously disappeared, and animals run wild on the streets of Tokyo. Players take control over different animals like lions, hyenas, beagles, dear, and more in different story vignettes chronicling their survival.
The game was fairly well-received when it released in , but has gone on to become a bit of a cult-classic since. The first ever PixelJunk game, Racers , is a top-down arcade racing game that released in and had an updated release in with PixelJunk Racers: 2nd Lap.
The best received of the three PS3-exclusvie Pixeljunk games is Sidescroller , a side scrolling shooter a la Gradius , released in This puzzle game drew comparisons to Tetris when it first came out in , except instead of colorful blocks, players crush garbage.
The game gets much more complicated than Tetris , however, as the game quickly introduces different kinds of garbage and different means of dealing with all of it, like fire and chemical substances. Trash can also be smashed by gravity or heavier trash and some items decompose naturally over time. It switches up the weaponry a little, but the basic on-rails zombie shooting gameplay seems as satisfying as ever.
A radio-controlled offshoot of the cult racing series, Motorstorm RC takes all of the high-octane, arcade racing, fun of the core Motorstorm games and hits it with a shrink ray. For someone who grew up loving the Micro Machines games of the 90s, this was a wonderful throwback.
Developed by Evolution Studios the, now defunct, British developer behind other games in the series as well as the ill-fated Driveclub , Motorstorm RC was one of those games that felt way better than it had any right to be. It packed 16 tracks at launch, all based on the world of Motorstorm , and was even added to with additional DLC down the line. Echochrome broke my brain when it was released on PlayStation 3 in A unique monochrome puzzle game with a penchant for MC Escher, the game tasks the player with guiding a mannequin through a series of minimalist spaces.
The human-like model cannot be controlled directly, but will follow the paths the player lays out with a goal of reaching the next shadowy objective. To call Shatter merely a clone of Breakout is to be incredibly reductive. Arguably the best game on this list, Shatter takes the simple fun of brick-breaking gameplay and adds a whole new level to it. Breaking blocks with a traditional paddle and ball, the player must collect all the shards of the bricks as well, either manually or by sucking them in.
The more blocks smashed, the more shards collected. Collecting shards builds the Shard Storm meter — this gives you the power to shield from incoming projectiles and, naturally, use the Shard Storm power to smash through blocks without the use of the ball.
Plus, the soundtrack is incredible. How there was never a Shatter sequel or a re-release for modern consoles is beyond me. Describing The Last Guy sounds like incoherent babble.
