I predict another feather in Sony&#8217;s multiplayer cap.  This mix of real time strategy, air and ground vehicle-based action, on-foot shootering, single-player campaign, and online multiplayer could be in the same league as Playstation exclusives like Mag and Killzone 3.  I&#8217;ll have more to say about it once it&#8217;s gone live.<\/p>\n<p>2) Turn-based strategy fans get Warlock: Master of the Arcane, hopefully with the day zero patch.  I really like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.quartertothree.com\/fp\/2012\/05\/01\/dont-forget-the-steel-in-warlock-master-of-the-arcane\/\">what I&#8217;ve seen<\/a> in the pre-release version.  It&#8217;s not quite <a href=\"http:\/\/www.quartertothree.com\/fp\/2012\/02\/23\/where-does-conquest-of-elysium-3-get-those-wonderful-toys\/\">Conquest of Elysium 3<\/a> in terms of gameplay, but not for lack of trying.  And it&#8217;s certainly got the production value for those of you who couldn&#8217;t stomach Conquest&#8217;s spritely artwork.<\/p>\n<p>3) Hey, look, you can play Minecraft on your Xbox 360!  Which is pretty much the same Minecraft you already know and love.  This console version is a lot friendlier to new players than the PC version.  There is no guesswork with the crafting, thanks to extensive tooltips for inventory items and a helpful menu system in place of alt-tabbing to a wiki.  While I certainly admire the game, I still can&#8217;t shake off <a href=\"http:\/\/www.quartertothree.com\/fp\/2011\/12\/21\/the-bounce-effect-of-minecrafts-physics\/\">a pervasive sense of pointlessness<\/a> as I play.  Where do I check my high score?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15214","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-games"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
