Mercenary Kings Ign
Apr 26, 2014 Mercenary Kings is a slick old-school inspired shooter that has one foot in the past, and the other firmly planted in the present. Its high level of difficulty, catchy tunes, and pixelated graphics.

This year, your selection committee is: (Senior Editor), (Executive Editor), (Editor), (Editor), and (Associate Editor).Our criteria is as follows:Before we jump in, a quick word on criteria. The primary question this top 25 list is intended to answer is simple: 'What are the 25 best games we played on this platform?' How much fun we had with the games is obviously our primary concern, but we also considered elements like longevity/staying power, influence, and innovation.What do you think of our selections? Let us know in the comments, and sound-off with your own Top PS3 Games lists.And now, without further ado. Dead Nation: Apocalypse Edition adds a fresh coat of paint to one of the PlayStation 3's best downloadable games, and in doing so, it has become the definitive edition. Based on the foundations of Robotron: 2084, this top-down shooter has you going through waves of undead masses and mowing them down with all manner of post-apocalyptic weapons.
The atmosphere is great, it balances tension and action perfectly, and the internal economy system lends to a nice feeling of progression. But Dead Nation: Apocalypse Edition really excels at throwing you into impossible situations, then giving you just the right amount of tools to barely escape with your life. Bringing a large cast of DC comic heroes to life in a way that’s exciting and respectful is awfully hard to do (see: every non-Batman DC movie). Given how things turned out the last time DC characters were in a fighting game, it’s amazing that Injustice: Gods Among Us was even playable, let alone great. But great it is, running on a refined, re-tuned version of the MK9 fighting skeleton.
Like NetherRealm’s previous game, every hit feels brutal, especially when titans like Superman and Doomsday are throwing each other through skyscrapers in downtown Metropolis. Even better, the PS4 version collects all of the available DLC with smooth, sharp 1080P/60 FPS presentation, making it the best looking, best playing, and most complete version of Injustice available on consoles. The spirit of Metal Slug is alive and well in Mercenary Kings.
It's a slick old-school inspired shooter that has one foot in the past, and the other firmly planted in the present. While it feels familiar at first, its depth and light-RPG elements quickly separate it from its ‘80s and ‘90s heritage. A lot of recent games that hinge on nostalgia fail to succeed anywhere past an aesthetic level, but Mercenary Kings has enough smart systems and mechanics to keep us engaged. Its high level of difficulty, catchy tunes, and pixelated graphics meld nicely with its emphasis on loot, customization, and online play.
Through the years, so many games have failed to really appreciate what makes Marvel’s characters special, leading to some truly mediocre adaptations. But LEGO Marvel Super Heroes is different.
It brings to life 136 of Marvel’s mightiest with real charm and a palpable sense of joy. Whether it’s Iron Man punching the ground as he lands or the inclusion of some really obscure costume variants, it’s evident that this was made by real fans of the source material.
Gameplay builds on LEGO’s tried-and-tested amalgam of platforming and puzzle-solving, combat and collecting, but also introduces an open-world Manhattan to explore, character creation, and so much more. It’s the best Marvel game around. While Call of Duty: Ghosts’ single-player campaign was a lot of fun, it didn’t deliver anything particularly new. Then again, the improvements that Infinity Ward made to the multiplayer portion of the game make it a standout on the PlayStation 4. Ghosts introduces a slew of new modes, with the best being Grind, a melding of Kill Confirmed and Capture the Flag that added a lot of fresh dynamics to the tried-and-true multiplayer experience.
But the real reason Ghosts made the list is its introduction of the great Extinction mode. Four players team up to cooperatively fight through droves of monstrous creatures.
It feels like a mix of Black Ops’ Zombie mode and Left 4 Dead in the best possible way. Some would have you believe that Ground Zeroes is a short game, little more than a demo.
They’re wrong. Sure, once you’ve perfected your skills, you can blitz through the central mission in a matter of minutes, but that would be missing the point entirely. Open-world games can sprawl for miles without ever really engaging their audiences, but Ground Zeroes’ detention camp is the exact opposite. It's a dense, claustrophobic environment that invites experimentation and challenges you to master it. It isn’t afraid to confront some really big issues, either, like rendition and prison camps. Indeed, Ground Zeroes is Kojima passing comment on Guantanamo.
Ignore the size of the map or its supposed running time; Ground Zeroes is a hugely ambitious and absorbing game. Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light look good and play well on last-gen consoles, but the PlayStation 4 re-release shows why PC gamers were so much more excited about these darkly beautiful, challenging first-person shooters about post-apocalyptic life beneath the surface of Russia. Battling both mutated monsters and enemy factions in dark and gloomy atmosphere makes the PS4's hardware pay off in a big way. The fact that the Redux release also allows us to pick whether we prefer to play both games at either a guns-blazing or stealthy pace makes it cater to many more people than they originally did, where 2033 was stealthy and Last Light was more action-focused.
For well over two decades, Madden has been going strong on just about every mainstream console since the early '90s. Naturally, that tradition continues on Sony's new console, where the game looks more beautiful than ever. With awesome likenesses of star players, fully-realized stadiums, realistic playbooks, and fun arcadey action, Madden NFL 15 is the best sports game on PlayStation 4 so far, and a true testament to how well gaming can replicate tried-and-true sports action. With tons of online and offline modes, this is a game that could easily keep you busy for the duration of the football season (and beyond). Fixions - genocity. Killzone: Shadow Fall came out alongside PlayStation 4, and it was easily one of the console's best launch games. Sony-owned developer Guerrilla did a wonderful job reimagining Killzone in Shadow Fall, with a more non-linear and open approach and a much brighter color palette. The beauty of this is a Killzone game that was accomplished without forsaking the franchise's typically amazing gunplay, even though movement was made lighter, pleasantly enough.
Shadow Fall's campaign is fun enough, but there's also plenty of enjoyment to be extracted out of its super deep online play. In fact, it remains the single best first-person shooter on the console.
Lara Croft was in real danger of becoming a relic herself, until Tomb Raider’s reboot reinvigorated the series. It succeeded in showing a new side to a character that has been around for nearly two decades. Not yet a seasoned adventurer, this was Lara at her most vulnerable and well-realized. She was horrified by the violence that quickly engulfed her; throughout its superbly-paced campaign, we came to know Lara like never before. But this wasn’t all character-study, with Tomb Raider brilliantly picking up the gauntlet thrown down by Uncharted, presenting an adventure brimming with spectacle and suspense.
