Junction Point Turning the Disney Up to 11 in Epic Mickey 2
Posted by Game Spot on Mar 23, 2012 | Leave a Comment
The latest platformer from Warren Spector’s studio feels like much more of a product of its parent company.
The original Epic Mickey really wore its heart on its sleeve. In spite of the game’s flaws, you could tell how much love Warren Spector’s team at Junction Point felt toward the source material–essentially the entirety of Disney history–and that showed through in a mountain of clever references to the company’s past and even...

We talked to Excalibur Publishing’s managing director Robert Stallibrass, the man whose audience wants him to make Hairdressing Simulator and even Ice Cream Van Man Simulator.
Last year, Street Cleaning Simulator was a huge hit with the GameSpot community. While we rated it at 1.5 and called it ’abysmal’, users flocked to submit user reviews, taking it to a 9.1 average user score from over 2,400 votes–making it more popular and higher-rated than games such as Dark Souls....

Competitive play offers brief thrills.
The Bad
Intrinsically flawed cover system
Bullet-sponge enemies and scarcity of ammo make for dull action
Stupid AI
All sorts of sloppy details derail the fun.

New heroes, an open city, and dialogue are just a few of the things coming to Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes.
Keeping licensed Lego games fresh can be quite the challenge. For the upcoming Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, developer Traveller’s Tales needs to find a way to set it apart from other games in the genre. The game itself brandishes one of the new aspects to be featured in the game: the inclusion of additional DC comic superheroes, like The Flash. But...
Jet Set Radio and the Power of Addition by Subtraction
Posted by Game Spot on Mar 13, 2012 | Leave a Comment
This is the same game you played on the Dreamcast, with a few notable bonuses and omissions.
An HD release of Jet Set Radio is one of those things that erstwhile Dreamcast owners have had on their wish lists for years now, right above new button cell batteries for their VMUs and a signed photo of Yu Suzuki. In a few months, that wish will become reality, with Sega set to release a downloadable remake of this Rollerblade classic on the PC, Xbox Live Arcade, and PlayStation...

Battlefield 3 is going close quarters. Here’s how to adapt your game.
As you may have heard, DICE announced an upcoming trio of Battlefield 3 expansion packs during GDC last week.

No, seriously, DICE isn’t revealing anything about End...

Dishonored: What Next From the Publishers of Skyrim?
Posted by Game Spot on Mar 12, 2012 | Leave a Comment
Man-eating rats, prostitutes, and death by steaming. If only all stealth-action games were as exciting as Dishonored.
There’s often a correlation between the amount of fun you have in a game and the utter ridiculousness of its weapons. Saints Row: The Third has its dildo bat, BioShock has its swarm of bees, and Dishonored…well, Dishonored has rats. Lots and lots of terrifying, swarming, man-eating rats. There’s really no greater way to vanquish your enemies than to have...
