Warhawk

INTRODUCTION

It is no understatement that the Sony Playstation 3 has had a rocky start. Competing the with Xbox 360 with its excellent selection of games and the Nintendo Wii with its impressive sales, the PS3 has found itself in some kind of limbo – neither having the games nor the sales that you could expect from a new Playstation.

Luckily for Sony the solution to one of the problems, the lack of games, is now slowly being rectified. Over the next few months we will see the release of a series of high profile games like Lair and Heavenly Sword and the onslaught is being led by the game Warhawk from the developer Incognito.

ONLINE IS WHERE THE FUN IS

Warhawk has changed appearance a few times during its development. When it first was showcased before the release of the PS3 it was used as a showcase for the new Sixaxis controller. At that time the game was supposed to be a game with both a single player and a multiplayer component. Over the time though this changed and when the game now has been released it is purely an online game. There also were discussions during development whether it would become a PSN (Playstation Network) only game or a game with a proper retail release. In the end it turns out that Sony did both. The game thus is available as both a PSN download and as a retail box.
