<p>Back when the <a href="http://us.playstation.com/ps3/systems/160gb.html" target="_blank">PS3</a> first showed up people thought the system was an overpriced, oversized, slab of future tech that was only good for playing Blu ray movies since their 1<sup>st</sup> party games were underwhelming. These days the PS3 is affordable and the games are much better; <a href="http://starhawkthegame.com/index/" target="_blank">Starhawk</a> is proof of this. A pseudo sequel to <a href="http://us.playstation.com/games-and-media/games/warhawk-ps3.html" target="_blank">Warhawk</a>, Starhawk is based in space, where players take the role of  Emmett Graves a part time ‘Rift Energy’ prospector full time action hero. He returns to a dangerous, lawless planet to settle a score with an outlaw faction. Sounds familiar right, well here’s where things get different; as a prospector of Rift Energy he can collect it all over the planet and use it to build weapons, vehicles, and even entire bases with the help of orbiting drop ships. Graves becomes a literal one man army on his path to vengeance and an unending source of fun for the rest of us. Add to the fact that this game (like its predecessor) has a massive 32 player online mode and tons of game types that come with it, and you suddenly realize there is not enough hours in the day to enjoy this game property – and that makes you a little sad (or is that just me).</p>
