Starhawk cruises through this PSN update

///////
16 mins read

Yes, the Starhawk Beta is now available for Playstation Plus subscribers- and thank goodness it is! Mainly because other than that, it’s a pretty ho-hum week for downloads on the PSN.

There are a bunch of full PS3 games available, which is kind of cool if you missed out on stuff like Crysis 2 and Rainbow 6 Vegas, but the actual downloadable offerings for the week are not nearly as good.

Zack Zero’s main crime is that it looks a tad generic. I’m not all that familiar with it though, so who knows- it might be a lot of fun. Amy, on the other hand… Poor Amy, it looked so good, sure it was ‘another zombie game’ but still… man alive is it getting killed in the press though. Play at your own peril.

Starhawk is excellent by the way. I had the chance to play it at the San Diego Comic Con last Summer and I am dying to give it another go. Lots of fun and the RTS-like building elements are very well implemented into the main ‘shooter’ gameplay- for anyone on the fence, I doubt you’ll be disappointed.
