Its a new week, so you know what that means right? NEW VIDEOGAMES!
First we have Sleeping Dogs:
This game that was once True Crime 3: Hong Kong has been taken over and revived by Activision in a critically acclaimed fashion. The story follows Wei Shen, an undercover cop who seems to be in a bit over his head. Hes working to take down a criminal organization from the inside out. This game features open ended sandbox gameplay. Much like GTA, any car of any kind is at your use, as well as you can interact with just about anyone you see on the streets. The action is fast paced, with combat based around most martial arts films. So you will use tons of counter attacks and your surroundings as weapons to take down gangs all at once. You can also power up Wei as you go. The more he does as far as missions go he earns XP that branch to one of three sides. Either Face, Police, or Triad. Earning more for one than the other affects your reputation in the game, so smart choices must be made at all times. If you are looking for super fast, gory, and exciting gameplay that rivals any action movie you’ve seen this year, GO GET THIS GAME.
Next up, we have Darksiders 2:
This game from Vigil Games/THQ is the sequel to the first well received Darksiders. Taking place around the same time as the first, the horseman “Death” learns the fate of his brother “War”. He’s been accused of starting the apocalypse early, and banished to earth as punishment. Death not believing that his brother would do such a thing, decides to go after his brother, as well as uncover who is really behind the early apocalypse. This game isn’t your run of the mill RPG, or is it? It takes the greatest atributes of your favorite RPG/Action games, and puts a new dark and evil spin on them. Making it all feel new again. Although the gameplay can come off as liniar at times, there is TONS to do in this universe. Topping over 20+ hours, so you without question get your money’s worth.
Both of these games are awesome, but it’s going to be quite hard to play them both if your PS3 needs to be fixed. So how about you head over to our PS3 Repair page and let us get you squared away so you can get back to gaming!
