Games of 2009: PS3
Here are the games exclusive to the PlayStation 3 coming in 2009.
- Killzone 2 (2/27/09) - The sequel to the Sony's first big competitor to Halo. Here's the trailer, complete with violence that isn't appropriate for children.
- DC Universe Online (TBA) - A DC-based MMORPG - complete with a living Batman. With Jim Lee heading up the art for the game, it should be a faithful-looking adventure. It would've been nice to have seen the Marvel Universe MMORPG just to level the playing field, but alas, with MMORPGs come the heartache of dozens of broken promises that come along with them.
- God of War III (TBA) - Kratos returns, looking awesome as usual, to fight gods and kill minions. Violent, excellent.
- Gran Turismo 5 (TBA) - The sequel to the classic racing game of olde.
- Heavy Rain (TBA) - Not to be confused with Chubby Rain, Heavy Rain is a horror/thriller game coming to the PS3.
- inFamous (TBA) - Brought to you by the team from the Sly Cooper series. It seems like the gameplay is a cross between a regular platformer and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. However, the game looks like it has slightly more potential in terms of plotline.
- L.A. Noire (TBA) - Another game from Rockstar. This time, however, it's set in the 1940s in a perfectly recreated version of L.A. (of that time). The game will deal with postwar America themes like jazz, drugs and gangsters. Sounds interesting. Although there is some question about how long it will remain "exclusive," it still looks very cool.
- MAG: Massive Action Game (TBA) - An MMO of sorts, where up to 256 players can take the battlefield and start shooting like mad.
- Red Dead Revolver 2 (TBA) - The sequel to an excellent Rockstar Western game.
- Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (TBA) - The sequel to the critically acclaimed Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. The world premiere of the game's footage is happening tonight on Spike TV's Video Game Awards (tonight at 9 p.m. ET).
- White Knight Chronicles (TBA) - It's an RPG...and it looks pretty incredible, actually.
