Posted By: Michael Lacerna In: Console News, Gaming News, Playstation 3, Xbox 360 On: 12 Jun

Capcom is probably most famous for franchises like Street Fighter and Resident Evil, but in Japan their main cash cow is Monster Hunter: the co-op multiplayer action RPG dominates Japanese sales charts, selling well into the millions of units with every single iterative release, and it wouldn’t be unfair to credit Monster Hunter with the [...]

Throughout his saga, Agent 47 has effortlessly strolled into mansions, parties, red light districts, secure areas, military bases, and heavily-policed areas in non-linear environments with a common goal, “Assassinate the targets”. Poisons, fiber wire, pushing them from [...]

E3 2011: Dark Souls Playtest

Posted By: Michael Lacerna In: Console News, Gaming News, Playstation 3, Xbox 360 On:

As much as I personally loved it, I still can’t believe the original Demon’s Souls was a hit, as it contains every single trait that’s supposed to doom a game to a niche market at best: a brutal difficulty, an incredibly nihilistic, oppressive atmosphere, and a control scheme which was only exceeded in needless, obtuseness [...]

E3 2011: Blades of Time Playtest

Posted By: Michael Lacerna In: Console News, Gaming News, Playstation 3, Xbox 360 On: 09 Jun

You probably haven’t heard of Blades of Time. Hell, before I walked into Konami’s booth today, I didn’t even know it existed… But after playing the brief demo, I immediately wanted more. Despite its generic name and near total absence of press coverage, Blades of Time has the potential to be one of the first [...]

E3 2011: Sonic Generations Playtest

Posted By: Michael Lacerna In: Console News, Gaming News, Playstation 3, Xbox 360 On:

Sonic the Hedgehog is probably one of gaming’s most iconic characters, but despite the reverence for the character himself, the games he’s starred in have a rather checkered reputation: While most of the earlier games in the series are regarded as classics, most of the recent entries in franchise are pretty much simply examples of [...]

E3 2011: Trenched Playtest

Posted By: Michael Lacerna In: Console News, Gaming News, Xbox 360 On:

I’ve been a fan of DoubleFine ever since they developed the Xbox 1/PS2 cult hit platformer Psychonauts. While their games certainly aren’t perfect, they have a charm and wit that is all too sorely lacking in most modern games. Their newest game, the action/strategy hybrid Trenched, has that trademark charm and wit in spades, and [...]

E3 2011: Final Fantasy XIII-2 Playtest

Posted By: Michael Lacerna In: Console News, Gaming News, Playstation 3, Xbox 360 On:

Final Fantasy XIII was a strange game: people either liked it or hated it, and I found myself personally conflicted about it, as I absolutely loved some things about it but abhorred an equal number of it’s other traits. Despite Square-Enix positioning it as the beginning of the “Fabula Nova Crystalis” product initiative, it’s reputation [...]

Fruit Ninja Kinect Trailer

Posted By: Chris Hernandez In: Gaming News, Xbox 360 On: 08 Jun

Do you hate fruit? I wouldn’t recommend hating it simply for the health benefits, but if you really can’t stand those sweet rounds objects that fall from trees then Fruit Ninja Kinect must be for you. These is what the trailer leads me to believe. The game is what you have become accustomed to if [...]
