By now, I’m sure the majority of you at least know just a little bit about Demon’s Souls. It’s the infamous Ps3 exclusive dungeon crawler that’s main selling point is that it is more difficult than dealing with an over-caffeinated toddler. Perhaps you’ve made up your mind about it, or maybe you’re still on the fence. Either way, I simply ask that if you haven’t yet experienced this daunting gem, take a moment to hear what I have to say.

Holiday Season 2009 saw the release and quick fading away of The Saboteur, the last game by Pandemic Studios. Pandemic brought us some of the best Star Wars games with The Clone Wars and Battlefront series, and original content Full Spectrum Warrior, Destroy All Humans!, and Mercenaries.

Their final game is by far their most unique, offering an Inglorious Basterds style visuals and story. You start off in a black and white World War II era Paris, playing Sean Devlin a character based on real life war hero William Grover-Williams. As in real life, you’re a top race car driver and mechanic who gets pulled into the line of duty.

Your goal is to liberate sections of france and defeat rival Nazi race car driver, Colonel Dierker as a freshly recruited British SOE agent on behalf of the French Resistance. While the story has been done before it is more than enough to hold your attention due to the varried gameplay and twists on film cliches including car chases, stealth, track racing levels and all out action free for all fights.

As you liberate a section of Paris the city bursts into color, liberation missions vary by style and the completion tactics are non linear. There are multiple solutions for every problem in the game that require you to think outside the box more often than most modern games.

The Saboteur is built on the Odin/Havoc engine and looks great. The gameplay is flawed here and there which is the main reason why it 7 and 8 out of 10 scores in mainstream reviews. Metacritic tallied it at 73% wihch sadly is often considered a “flop” these days. If you never got to try this game pick it up at the new low price of $19.99

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker continues the story of the legendary Big Boss (or Naked Snake, Jack, John, Saladin) as he slowly begins to form his own army called Militaires Sans Frontières (Soldiers without Borders). Since the events of MGS3, he has made a name for himself and is soon commissioned to investigate a potentially dangerous military force who may be harboring nuclear weapons. This game slowly bridges the gap between his motives from Operation Snake Eater to the creation of Outer Heaven.
