Bionic Commando - PS3

It's been ten years since Nathan "RAD" Spencer managed to defeat the Imperials and destroy the Albatross in Bionic Commando. Hailed as heroes, he and his comrade Joseph "Super Joe" Gibson took charge of training new recruits under the TASC banner. But when Spencer disobeyed an order from Gibson during Operation Blackout, resulting in the death of several TASC agents, Spencer was court-martialled and sentenced to death, while his actions caused the public to change their opinion of bionic technology, leading to the programme's cancellation and the "Bionic Purge". During the purge, all TASC personnel were ordered to surrender their bionics or have them forcibly removed. Some fled, others complied, but in the end bionic technology was effectively removed from the country - at least until BioReign terrorists detonated a nuclear bomb in Ascension City. With no military unit returning from ground zero, Nathan is spared his fate for now and is instead sent to deal with the situation, with the promise of receiving new information about the whereabouts of his missing wife Emily.

In classic third-person shooter style, the player moves through the destroyed city, completing objectives such as activating a relay station to disable a minefield and killing the countless enemies (including mechs and other deadly vehicles) blocking the way. Literally always at his side: his Bionic Arm. While it can simply be used to deliver a nasty blow, its built-in grappling hook is the device's real signature feature. It not only allows the player to swing around quickly and even scale the tallest skyscraper, it's also a handy tool for getting rid of enemies and removing other annoying obstacles. At the same time, Nathan can also use regular weapons such as pistols or grenades with his right hand. Besides the BioReign forces, the environment itself is also an enemy for Nathan, as radioactive zones kill him almost instantly. And due to the weight of his bionic arm, Nathan can't swim and will drown if he falls into water.

To keep things interesting, the game offers both collectibles and challenges. While the collectibles are simply hidden throughout the levels, challenges are offered once the player has done something, gained a new ability, and so on. The goals of these challenges include killing 25 enemies, performing three consecutive swings, or destroying three railway carriages. Once a challenge has been mastered, the player immediately receives a bonus such as better armour and often receives the same challenge again - only this time with increased requirements.

The game also features a multiplayer mode for up to eight players with Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag on small, mostly vertical maps, so players can make full use of the Bionic Arm in the same way as in single-player mode.
