It was a pretty nice surprise to see Ninja Theory secretly drop the Enslaved: Odyssey to the West demo on the European Playstation Store today…I guess that’s why they call themselves Ninja Theory. So how does the demo make me feel on taking a long Odyssey into the west?
I’ve always had a love for 2D sprites. I could not wait for HD fighters that fully matched the quality of anime-style art on which they were based. I basically imagined interactive anime with beautifully detailed characters and animations. Little did I know that gaming was moving towards an emphasis on achieving realism and away from cultivating distinct style.
When Dead Space 2 recently announced a multiplayer component to the game, I had to sit down and think, “Is it really necessary?” Dead Space was perfectly fine as a solitary experience and I never did once think it needed a mode where I could play with my friends. But these days more developers have felt that a game must be shipped with some sort of mode where you can interact with other human beings in order for it to be worth something to a consumers’ eyes. I think not.
Originally touted as a PlayStation 3 exclusive when it was first announced, Quantum Theory was clearly Tecmo’s answer to Gears of War. It has since gone multiplatform. The demo is out and here’s our impression and let’s just say that we think that PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 owners now share the shame of having this game available on their platforms.
I always hoped that someday BioWare would go back and revisit Morrigan and we’d be able to find out what had happened to her and with no sign of anyone from Dragon Age: Origins, Awakening or Dragon Age II, I started to worry. Luckily, BioWare decided to go back in DLC form to finally let me find whatever happened to my character’s beloved Morrigan. Does this finally end my desires to know what happened to her?
Rocksteady Studios Batman: Arkham Asylum proved that comic book characters can make AAA game franchises when developed in the right hands. The question is, can Beenox do the same thing with the Spider-Man franchise in Shattered Dimensions?
The zombie infection spreads once again! Dead Rising 2: Case Zero is the direct prequel to Dead Rising 2 which is not to be confused with the first installment of the franchise, Dead Rising. Are you a zombie extermination enthusiast? We’re going to find out if Case Zero will tide you over until the full game comes out at the end of this month.
To say that Metroid: Other M may have been one of the most anticipated Nintendo titles to be released in years would be an understatement. So with the past success of the franchise and having yet another new studio interpret the series, how does Metroid: Other M hold up to the hype? Let’s take a look.
I had no idea what to expect from Vanquish. On one side it looked like it could’ve been a standard cover shooter with a gimmick tossed in. On the other hand, it had this sensational presentation of a game that really means to stand on it’s own. The demo is finally out and I hopped on immediately to find out which of my two gut feelings were correct.
When I had heard a few months back that Worms was gracing its way back to the PC, I was geeked. As far as PC Worms goes, the series has been in hiatus since the release of Worms World Party in 2002. So what does the latest Worms have to offer us after all of these years? Let’s take a look shall we?
Shank is a game that had slipped beneath my radar up until a few weeks ago when I saw a trailer for it. I was initially intrigued by the 2D art styles but was unsure if the gameplay held up. Let’s find out!
So I’ve actually anticipated Mafia II for awhile. I always wanted to delve into the classic mobster era and explore the world they lived in. But does this game really have what it takes to become a made man?
Valkyria Chronicles has got a sequel and its not on the PlayStation 3 but on the PSP. The first one was hugely successful and was a critical marvel which spawned an anime, a manga and multiple drama CD’s. But is it able to spawn a worthy sequel?
I never played a single game of the Tomb Raider series. I dismissed it due to the seeming capitalization of the main character as a gaming sex symbol. Though recent iterations of the series have given me the impression that they were moving away from that image, it still wasn’t enough to get me to try it out. That is, until I tried out Lara Croft and The Guardian of Light.
When I had heard that they were making a sequel to Kane & Lynch I found myself scratching my head. The first game didn’t fair too well with the reviewers and I personally decided to skip it. I figured the developers must be nuts to give this franchise a second chance. Did the old dogs learn from their mistakes in the first outing?
Aerial combat and dog fighting isn’t really something I do so often when it comes to video games, but I’ve always wanted to gain a sense of speed and thrill that was brought with fighting in the skies. H.A.W.X. 2 tries to give you that opportunity but does the demo even give you a successful takeoff?
Hot Shots Tennis: Get A Grip is a relatively new sports game out on the PSP. The first iteration of the game was released on the PlayStation 2 a few years back. Can the inclusion of a plethora of unlockables and the newer level-up system help the game score an Roddick style ace? Or will it be as disappointing as Roddick’s recent career?
