Up Next: Enslaved


Chances are you haven't heard of this one. It came out in 2010 from developer Ninja Theory, the team behind PS3 launch title, Heavenly Sword. Enslaved is possibly one of the biggest hidden gems of this generation. It got virtually no press or marketing, yet it has all the trappings of a AAA release. Excellent voice acting, beautiful visuals, tight controls and a really interesting story. I'm a couple hours in and enjoying the hell out of it.

It's basically the climbing mechanics from Uncharted mixed with melee combat in a post-post apocolyptic America. It's awesome, and I got it for $8. If you see it in the bargain bin, it's definitely worth it.
