PS3 Fanboy review: Lost Planet: Extreme Condition



Before gamers got the chance to play Lost Planet: Extreme Condition on the PS3, they had the option of picking it up for either the Xbox 360 or the PC. Being a port of a year old Xbox 360 game, the PS3 version of Lost Planet had been under the skeptical eyes of patient PlayStation fans awaiting to see if the game was going to be better or worse than the original exclusive. The long-short of it, sadly, the game plays far worse on the PS3.

Despite all its advantages, such as receiving all bonus downloadable content from both PC and 360 versions, getting its own exclusive: Luka as a playable character, and a budget release price, there are some severe problems that weigh the game down. Also, the five gig mandatory install does little in defense of the PS3 version, even though the load times have drastically been sped up. For what it's worth, Lost Planet was a decent game the first time around, but this PS3 port ... not so much.

RUMOR: pack of games that may or may not be in the works

This one's definitely a rumor, since it's coming from Rumor Reporter -- the same guys who spread all that awful Warhawk stuff. Whether that is true or not is irrelevant. We're here to focus on the latest rumors. There are a couple of games being tossed around and, for the most part, aren't surprising but worth talking about.

  • Guitar Hero is making its way onto the Wii, apparently. That'll turn out pretty fun. Probably.
  • A videogame based on the upcoming Ironman movie is in the works for the PS3 and XBox 360, under the creative umbrella of Sega and developed by Secret Level.
  • Capcom intends to continue the Lost Planet franchise on the 360 and PS3 with an unconfirmed title as of yet titled "Lost Planet Wars". This game will probably be an RTS or some other strategy-oriented title, much like the game following Halo 3, titled Halo Wars, will be.

So, we're gonna support these rumors because... well, they're not exactly rumors. These are expected! Not entirely, but if these things didn't exist, that would be silly and sad. Maybe the next Lost Planet will be something completely different or completely the same as the first game. Leave your thoughts.
