text Starhawk Review
Mon, 21 May 2012 18:54:34 EDT
For many years, fans of Warhawk were waiting for a successor to the game that soaked up hours upon hours of their time. It was never a game that blew anyone away with amazing visuals. No, where Warhawk excelled was its engaging gameplay. So when rumours of a game called Starhawk started buzzing around, the fan base got rather excited. After all, while Warhawk was primarily a terrestrial-based combat game, Starhawk promised to be a game that saw space combat become a realistic possibility. Those aspirations were never truly realised, but Starhawk is still a game that should be considered a worthy successor; it brings a lot to the table.

So Capcom's latest round of boasting includes their expected sales figures for Resident Evil 6, which they expect to hit around 7 million copies and everyone is all abuzz about Shinji Mikami (the designer behind the original Resident Evil title) creating a true survival horror experience instead. When looking a bit further afield, we've had some pretty decent survival horror games recently too. Dead Space 2, Left 4 Dead 2, and F.E.A.R. 3 were all enjoyable enough games, and at times scary in their own right. But are these titles are hardly representative of the state of survival horror, and Resident Evil's success shouldn't be taken as a sign that the genre is flourishing amongst the masses. Quite the opposite, it feels like each new generation of horror games does more to streamline the fear and do away with all of the limiting factors that make survival horror games so much fun to play. So where do we turn to for games that are more psychological thrillers than they are shoot em up? Why the indie scene of course.
