Anarchy Reigns Character Bio: Durga
What’s a two and a half month character bio gap between friends? It’s been a while since we’ve seen any character reveals from SEGA for Platinum Games’ upcoming multiplayer brawler, Anarchy Reigns, but the time has come for the ninth character to see the light of day: Durga. I think I can safely say that this will not be my character of choice. Durga is, not surprisingly, y...[Read More]
Review: Captain America: Super Soldier (360)
Some movie-based video games seek to recreate the plot of the movie itself, which I feel is dangerous ground to tread. Some tell a story completely separate from the movie, which, as long as it doesn’t contradict the movie it’s based on, can be good. Some tell a story that bridges the gap between one movie and another, which can provide a great deal of fill-in, which is always entertai...[Read More]
House of the Dead: Overkill Trailer Redefines Not Safe For Work
Zombie babies. There is more to see in this trailer than just zombie babies. However, I feel that zombie babies are the highlight of this thing. You may too.
Binary Domain: Core Weapons Trailer
I love shooting robots. I’d much rather be shooting robots than anything else, and hey, did you know that Binary Domain is absolutely filled with shooting robots? Now, you have to shoot the HELL out of Binary Domain’s robots in order to finally put them out of commission, but with the release of the new Core Weapons trailer, we can at least get a good look at what we’ll be shooti...[Read More]
Captain America: Super Soldier – Developer Dossier 3
As the anticipation for Captain America: Super Soldier mounts, so too do the Developer Dossiers from Next Level Games and SEGA! We’ve heard about the game’s environment and why it was chosen, followed by the game’s villains and why they were chosen. Now, the task of implementing Captain America in a video game is discussed.
Captain America: Super Soldier – Developer Dossier 2
With each day inching Captain America: Super Soldier nearer and nearer, a second Developer Dossier has been released from the lads at Next Level Games and SEGA. Previously, they provided an inside look at why Baron Zemo’s castle was chosen as the location, and how they managed to tie it in to the film. Now, who are we fighting, and why?
Captain America: Super Soldier – Developer Dossier 1
For a little while now, I’ve been looking forward to the next upcoming superhero game, Captain America: Super Soldier. Recently, the guys at Next Level Games and SEGA started releasing “Development Dossiers,” which contain behind the scenes discussions about the development process and the choices that were made. The first dossier deftly discusses development of the delectable di...[Read More]
E3 2011: Sonic Generations
Last month I was privileged enough to get my hands on the Green Hill Zone remake in Sonic Generations, both in Classic mode and Modern mode. Everything I had been hoping to see in Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1, but was ultimately not provided in that abysmal title, was now in my hands with Sonic Generations. The sense of wonder and enjoyment that I have long been missing from Sonic games is set ...[Read More]
E3 2011: Captain America: Super Soldier
Superhero video games do not exactly have a reputation for excellence. For every X-Men Arcade, there are two Superman 64s. When you get into superhero video games that are released as tie-ins to superhero movies, it gets even worse. For every Spider-Man 2, there are five games like…well…Spider-Man 3. So while I await the release of any superhero game with great anticipation, due to the...[Read More]
E3 2011: Binary Domain
When I first saw the trailer for Binary Domain a month or two ago, I thought to myself, “Hm. Did they just try to take Vanquish and make it a slower squad based shooter?” Now, Vanquish was one of my favorite games out of 2010, so this wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing; just an unoriginal thing. Luckily, from what I saw at E3, this is going to be something very different.
E3 2011: Anarchy Reigns
I’ve been geeking out about Anarchy Reigns since January. January is, coincidentally, when the fifth Platinum Games title was announced. So far, everything that’s come out of Platinum Games has been pure gold…or platinum (hurr hurr hurr). After what we saw at E3, does Anarchy Reigns live up to that Platinum legacy? Let me give you three words to answer that: MadWorld Spiritual Su...[Read More]
Shinobi Returns on 3DS – Details and Impressions
Do you remember the ninja named Joe? Joe Musashi kept us entertained in the 80s and 90s as Shinobi. This September, Shinobi returns in the form of Joe’s father, Jiro, to the 3DS. We got a chance to sit down and play the new Shinobi at a press event last week, and it was fun. Difficult, but fun.
