The 5 Best PlayStation 3 Games on the PlayStation Store


The PlayStation 3 store is closing on July 2; long may it reign.

As Sony begins to sunset its seventh generation console, there is no better time to load up on classics for your never ending backlog. From AAA juggernauts to indie wonders, here are the 5 best PlayStation 3 games on the PlayStation Store.

The 5 Best PlayStation 3 Games on the PlayStation Store

ModNation Racers

Nintendo might rule the karting roost with their time-honored Mario Kart series, but United Front Games and Sony Computer Entertainment make a compelling case to trade out your wheels with ModNation Racers.

The drifting, power-ups, and boosting mechanics hit all the right notes for the genre, but the game truly shines with its user generated content. The online ModSpot lobby area is a one-stop shop that allows players to meet up, race, and create and download content. A near limitless amount of courses and content are at your disposal, and those looking to get in on the online action best grab this title sooner rather than later.

Gran Turismo 6

Gearheads may have been somewhat disappointed with Gran Turismo Sport, but Polyphony Digital and Sony Computer Entertainment's Gran Turismo 6 is still one of the best driving simulators on the market after all these years.

More than 120 cars, 40 Locations, and 107 layouts have been included, along with a Career Mode and B-Spec mode with AI. To maintain its air of authenticity, this title is the first game ever to feature officially FIA-certified content.

Although the online mode of this title was shut down in 2018, six tracks and dozens of cars remain DLC for the game. For those looking for the ultimate driving sim, players should make sure to grab this content before July rolls around.

Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds

Mark Twain may have said that golf is a good walk spoiled, but he must have never played Clap Hanz and Sony Computer Entertainment's Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds.

The three-click shot system the series is known for makes its return, making for an arcade-like golf experience that encourages players to improve their skills each go-around. When paired with its unlockables, tournament play, and online modes, this is one title that has some serious legs.

Those looking for the ultimate experience should pay a visit to the PlayStation Store; Alex and Gloria are joined by Kratos and Sackboy as playable DLC characters, and the Oceania Resort Course can only be purchased online.

Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown

Tekken may have stolen Virtua Fighter's lunch and thrown it into a locker, but SEGA's Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown still deserves some love from fighting game fans.

In what is arguably the best entry to date, Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown stresses the importance of frames and boils everything down to a punch, kick, and block button. This one-on-one fighter packs some incredible depth, and is the perfect way to prepare for the Virtua Fighter X eSports project on the horizon.

Yakuza fans may be able to play this one in the bustling arcades of Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Judgment, and Yakuza 6: The Song of Life, but the standalone experience can only be yours through the PlayStation Store (and Xbox Live, but that's for another story).

Tokyo Jungle

We promise you that you've never played anything like Crispy's! and Sony Computer Entertainment's Tokyo Jungle.

Tokyo has been transformed into a vicious wildlife wasteland in this title, one where lions, tigers, chickens, and other animals fight for survival. Players will build a pack from 80 different animals across 50 breeds, with players setting out to discover the truth behind humankind's disappearance. A Survival Mode with online leaderboards has also been included, allowing players to partake in a true survival of the fittest.

Although the title was released on the Best of PlayStation Network Vol. 1 disc in 2013, even the cheapest listing on eBay is asking for more than $100 as of this writing. For those not looking to break the bank, be sure to grab this title from the PlayStation Network.

Tadpole Tales Review

In what is proving to be a seminal year for the world of tadpole video games, Pinnical Studios' Tadpole Tales has players firing away in a "clean 'em-up" shoot 'em-up. Should players take on this creative purification ritual, or is this title a polluted mess?

Tadpole Tales Review

Tadpole Tales stars out on a dour note, with three corrupt monsters intoxicating a once clean river. However, a tiny little tadpole has set out to save this area that they call home, spitting out bubbles to make everything all clean and sparkly. With the power of its little breath, what was gross can become clean.

A horizontal shoot 'em-up at its core, Tadpole Tales has players navigating enemy threats and bullets. Though the frogs and fishes might be different than the ships and asteroids players are used to, the formula is still very much the same. Movement is done with the WASD keys, and the ever-so-helpful fire button is mapped to the Space Bar.

This control scheme is simple at its core, which is both a blessing and a curse. While the control scheme is responsive and works well, it also does not provide much depth. Players can grab additional hearts to help their tadpole grow and improve their firepower (akin to Konami's Gradius series), but that is about the extent of its complexity.

Rather, the game lives and dies by its action. Though it is a short game that clocks in at around 15 minutes, players will come across three different zones that each have a boss waiting at the end of them. Patterns are the name of the game, and figuring out a flow to the action is the key to survival. Those who grew up in an arcade will no doubt know this song and dance, and Tadpole Tales delivers the same experience, albeit in a smaller package.

However, there is one area that Tadpole Tales truly excels at: its presentation. This is an absolutely gorgeous game, with fluid animation and some incredible artwork on display. Much like Studio MDHR's Cuphead, the world comes alive when players are thrown into the action. The soundtrack manages to keep pace as well, harkening back to the quarter munchers of old with some solid beats.

Those that successfully complete a run of the game will be able to unlock an Expert Mode, which takes place at night and has only bosses dropping hearts. Players will also be able to chase their scores and best time. There are achievements for beating the developers' best time and beating normal mode without losing any hearts, so perfectionists and completionists alike can certainly keep themselves busy.

Tadpole Tales may be a simple shmup at its core, but its stellar audiovisual presentation and tight controls make it worth a playthrough for fans of the genre.

This review of Tadpole Tales was done on the PC. The game was freely downloaded.

Magic: Legends Getting Dimir Assassin Class


The newest Planeswalker class to join Cryptic Studios and Perfect World Games' Magic: Legends is the Dimir Assassin.

This stealthy and agile assassin epitomizes Ravnica's House Dimir, possessing the ability to set up enemies for devastating combo attacks. They always fight on their own terms, and carry with them a strong sense of control before exploiting weaknesses.

The Dimir Assassin Costume is unlocked account-wide and is equippable at any Tailor in-game. Meanwhile the Disinformation Trait (which is unlocked at class Level 30) makes creatures you control gain Lesser Resistance for five seconds whenever you draw a spell. Alternatively, when you discard a spell, enemies within 15 feet will gain Greater Vulnerability for five seconds.

Finally, the Nightveil Stalker (which is unlocked immediately) is a Mythic Rare spirit Assassin Creature spell with Hexproof. Upon entering each battlefield, it deals damage to foes and stuns them. For every third spell you draw, it will teleport to an enemy and damage them, losing its hexproof ability for a brief period of time.

Learn more with the overview trailer below:

Fall Guys Ultimate Knockout – Bounding Bunny Costume Live Action Trailer | PS4

Since its release last summer, the world of Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout has served as a free-for-all battle royale struggle that throws contestants through multiple rounds of escalating chaos until one victor remains. Up to 60 players enter the fray at any given time, and the number gradually gets down to one Crown victor. For those looking for new content, there are additional seasons approximately every two months.

TV junkies are no doubt familiar with its concept; the title pulls inspiration from shows like Takeshi's Castle, It's a Knockout, and Wipeout.

The game is now available for the PlayStation 4 and PC via Steam, and will come out for the Nintendo Switch and Xbox One this summer. You can read our review of the PlayStation 4 version here, which we gave a score of 75/100.

Outriders Best Legendary Weapons Guide

Best Legendary Weapons In Outriders
Legendary Weapons stand head and shoulders above the rest. This Outriders Best Legendary Weapons Guide will list some of the most powerful legendary weapons we've discovered so far, as well as information on how to unlock each of the weapons.

Outriders has only just released so we've not encountered a full arsenal of legendary weapons so far. They are quite rare, at least in the earlier stages. As you grow in strength and progress through the game, try to make sure you are playing on the highest World Tier you can stomach. The higher tiers provide huge bonuses to drop rate, so fighting the strongest enemies you can will increase the rate of more powerful drops. We will avoid all spoilers in relation to the story.

Grim Marrow

Grim Marrow
The Grim Marrow is unlocked towards the end of the story quest, it's a guaranteed drop that you can't miss. This is a fully upgraded version for a level 27 character, boasting huge Crit Damage bonuses and a nice bonus to close range damage. The Singularity is a fantastic tool for large groups, creating an Anomaly that you can shoot to detonate, killing everything nearby.

Lucky Jinx

Lucky Jinx
This Double Gun Demolisher Var puts out a huge amount of firepower at an alarming pace. Toxic keeps constant damage on your enemies and the Perpetuum Mobile allows you to instantly reload your ammo whenever you kill enemies with less that 35% ammo in your clip. It's like running around with a mini-gun and infinite ammo. The Lucky Jinx is unlocked by completing all of the Wanted quests.

Torment & Agony

Torment & Agony
If I'm being honest, I hardly touched my sidearm on my entire playthrough. However, if you're hoping to pack something with style, the Torment & Agony combo is a good way to go. It's dual wielding pistols with a very high fire rate, which works incredibly well with the two mods that both cause damage to enemies whenever you reload. This is another weapon unlocked through story progress.

Vest Of The Cannonball

Vest Of The Cannonball
Okay, so it's not a weapon, but you're here for the cool legendary stuff right? The Vest of the Cannonball is the only legendary piece of armor we've found so far. A perfect tool for hunting elites with a 25% damage reduction and a 10% increase to shotgun damage. Perfect for any Outriders arsenal. You unlock this legendary piece by completing all of the Hunting quests.

We're still exploring Outriders to find more Legendary weapons. Share some of your best finds in the comments section below.

Outriders Review – Not Just Another Destiny Clone

Square Enix and People Can Fly look to bring their gritty sci-fi shooter to the forefront of the third-person shooter space with Outriders. Featuring an innovative approach to combat, a wonderfully crafted world, an intriguing story, and a deeply detailed class system, is there room for yet another looter shooter, or is Outriders yet another failed attempt to cash in on Destiny's success?

Outriders Review – Not Just Another Destiny Clone

Earth has been destroyed, and humanity has been pushed to near extinction. In a last-ditch attempt to save the species, the ECA (Enoch Colonization Authority) sends two massive ships to colonize Enoch, an Earth-like planet nearly 100 years away. A team of elite soldiers known as the Outriders are the first to touch down, but they quickly find the planet engulfed in a scientific Anomaly. Destroying all electronics, wiping out colonies, and mutating plant and animal life into horrid monstrosities, humanity's last hope looks grim.

That's where you come in.

On its surface, it's very easy to dismiss Outriders as just another Destiny clone. While certain aspects of that assumption are correct, especially when looking at the nearly identical user interface, in reality People Can Fly has clearly had a very different philosophy when developing this title.

One of the primary elements that helps Outriders stand out from the crowd, and arguably the most important, is its combat. Sure, it's yet another third-person shooter with loot, but the concept, design, and execution of the combat is refreshingly brilliant from start to finish. At the beginning of the adventure, players can choose between four unique classes: Technomancer, Pyromancer, Trickster, or Devastator. Despite this, there's no specific archetypes or holy trinity restricting group makeup.

Each class excels in different areas, but none are required for any of the content. You don't need to worry about finding specific characters with specific builds to tackle the games various boss battles and side quests. Any group of friends can jump into a party, regardless of class choice, and tackle any of the content the game has to offer. This is largely due to the intriguing combination of cover-based shooting and aggressive-based healing.

Every battle takes place in carefully crafted battlefields that combine wide open spaces and tightly packed corridors, with barricades and debris the only lifeline between life and death. It's all too easy to fall into the comfort of the cover-based elements, moving quickly from cover to cover to avoid enemy fire. While this strategy works in places, the plan of relying solely on cover will quickly fall to pieces as the enemy advances at an alarmingly aggressive pace while destroying cover, forcing you to move with carefully placed grenades and abilities and doing everything they can to remove the relative safety of shooting from afar.

Once you unteach yourself that cover equals safety, its true design comes to fruition – and it's marvelous. Outriders' core concept of combat is healing via combat. You don't retreat to a safe corner and load up on potions or healing items, nor do you rely on abilities from other classes to keep you alive. Whether you live or die is completely dependent on your ability to be aggressive with your skills and abilities, creating for an action-packed, adrenaline fueled combat system that makes every battle as challenging as it is rewarding.

With such an innovative approach to the combat design, it would have been all too easy for the developers to leave it at that. They could have thrown in the regular loot and shoot systems and called it a day, but Outriders does so much more. Unlike other games in the genre, abilities are not an "oh crap" key that you wait to use until the very last minute when you're knocking at death's door.

Each recharges at a fantastic pace, allowing you to throw multiple abilities down in the same fight, over and over again. And these are not basic or boring abilities; they turn the tide of battle each time they are used. Playing the Devastator, my starting abilities included a bullet shield that absorbs all projectile damage before throwing it back at nearby enemies, a gravity leap that lets me leap to practically any enemy on the battlefield and turn them into a thick, red mist, and an ability that turned my skin to stone, drastically increasing my resistance to incoming damage.

Knowing when and how to use these abilities is key to survival, but the option to use them consistently, in an out of every fight, makes the combat one of the most engaging and exciting the genre has seen for years. Adding yet further depth and appeal to the entire approach is a gear system that is impactful on a level we rarely see in games that focus on gear score and loot grinding.

Outriders does have a gear score system. Your weapons indicate your Firepower, Anomaly Power is your abilities, and Health and Armor represent your ability to survive. These represent your ability to attempt content at a higher World Tier, increasing the difficulty of the enemies you encounter and the value of the rewards you receive. It's the gear, the regular items you pick up time after time, that truly makes Outriders gear grind a worthwhile experience.

All too often in today's games, we're grinding hours, days, even weeks at a time to find that 0.5% increase to a stat to perfect our build. It's dull, repetitive, boring, and only appeals to the most dedicated of players. The gear system in Outriders boasts a far broader appeal with gear that makes a massive difference. I played through the majority of my experience on World Tier 6 and World Tier 7 (the highest being World Tier 15), and I was finding gear with modifications that changed my entire build.

From increasing damage to allowing my bullets to freeze my opponents to increasing the duration of an ability up to 100%, there was no illusion of progression that so many games rely on today. It's meaningful, it makes a difference, and it makes you feel a total badass every step of the way.

Outriders boasts a beautifully crafted game world, one with meaningful characters, rewarding encounters, and a variety of content. However, there are some areas where it falls short. In an effort to provide additional content to players, much of the side content can be repeated. Not a terrible idea in concept, but it does retract from the emotional impact of the characters and stories you encounter.

One particular quest comes to mind. I helped an old man clear out his home of bandits so he could return and see the graves of his family. Learning of his journey and struggles offered a more personal approach alongside a main story with a much bigger scope, but much of that was completely undone after I completed the quest. He returned to his original location and spoke with me as if nothing happened. In another quest, a character actually died, only to return to offer the quest again. While many players will appreciate the opportunity to tackle the content again, I personally felt it made much of the side content inconsequential, only offering a brief emotional experience before instantly reminding you that it's just a game.

Outriders main narrative is rather short. Depending on World Tier and other variables, you can complete the main story in 12-16 hours, which is why I've largely avoided any core details of the campaign. However, the story is worth the entry price alone. Rising conflicts between the various Enoch colonies, the constant threat of the Anomaly and the monstrosities it creates, the dwindling light of humanities last hope; it's a serious and sometimes dark story that's worlds apart from Bulletstorm. For those more interested in the long-term, there's a of end-game content between maxing out your build, finding better loot, raising the World Tier, and completing challenging Expeditions.

If it wasn't for the technical problems Outriders could well have taken the crown for the best release of the year thus far. While my single player adventure was nearly completely clear of any technical issues or bugs, multiplayer is a little rough around the edges. Several crashes, falling through the floor, getting booted back to the lobby. The connection issues are a huge problem at the moment but once these are ironed out, there's a real gem in Outriders.

You will struggle to find another third-person shooter that has innovated as much on the formula as Outriders, not since Gears of War took the genre to new heights. The combat is absolutely incredible, the classes ooze with potential and development, the world is gritty and engaging, and the ability to enjoy all of this alongside good friends just heightens the entire experience.

5 Best Games of April 2021


Easter is almost here, along with a number of quality game releases. See what's on the horizon with Gamers Heroes' 5 best games of April 2021. Oh, and we won't make you click through five pages to look at the entire list.

5 Best Games of April 2021

SaGa Frontier Remastered

Originally released stateside back in 1998, Square Enix's SaGa Frontier Remastered will transport players to "The Regions" as one of seven different protagonists. Along the way, players will take part in turn-based battles and make use of the Hirameki system to gain new skills and unleash combo attacks with allies.

New to this release are several cutscenes that have been added to Asellus's scenario, the new character Fuse, an updated UI, a double speed mode, and higher resolution graphics.

SaGa Frontier Remastered will come out for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam on April 15, 2021.

Returnal

The latest adventure from Housemarque Studios (creators of Nex Machina), Returnal throws players onto an alien planet and sticks them smack dab in the middle of a time loop. Selene is the star of the show, with her getting resurrected after every death through a roguelike system.

This title will take advantage of the PlayStation 5's capabilities, featuring haptic feedback and 3D spatial audio. The system's solid state drive will also be used for fast loading times and a wider variety of game elements.

Returnal will launch for the PlayStation 5 on April 30, 2021.

NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139

NieR:Automata wowed fans when it came out in 2017, and Square Enix's NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139 brings players back to the fold as an updated prequel. This title features a kind young man that sets out to save his sister Yonah from the Black Scrawl illness. To do so, he sets out to find the "Sealed verses" with a talking tome known as the Grimoire Weiss.

Much like NieR:Automata, development of this title was led by Director Yoko Taro, Composer Keiichi Okabe, and producer Yosuke Saito.

NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139 will come out for the PlayStation 4 and PC via Steam on April 23, 2021.

New Pokémon Snap

Last seen on the Nintendo 64 in 1999, Nintendo, Bandai Namco Studios, and The Pokémon Company's New Pokémon Snap will once again have players taking shots of their favorite creatures. This time, players will be able to explore the Lental region to help the research studies of Professor Mirror. To do so, an on-rails hovercraft known as the NEO-ONE is at your disposal, along with Illumina orb that can cause Pokémon to glow.

New Pokémon Snap will come out for the Nintendo Switch on April 30, 2021.

Outriders

People Can Fly and Square Enix's Outriders has one mission: to be the most aggressive RPG-Shooter in the genre.

After creating their custom characters and choosing from four classes, players will team up with up to two other players as they use a wide variety of weaponry to take down enemies. A number of different hub areas can be explored, and a skill tree allows players to unlock and upgrade their skills.

Outriders will come out for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, PC, and Google Stadia on April 1, 2021.
