PS3 Game: Versus Fighting Pad
Posted by Game News on Jul 31, 2011 | Leave a Comment
You’re a lover not a fighter. Well, except when it comes to videogames; then you’re a fighter-lover. You can’t get enough of them. You’ve got a large arcade stick, for when you’re in your own dojo, but you need something that you can take with you easily. What you’re looking for is a gamepad with a six-button fighting game layout. What you’ve been waiting for is the new Versus Fighting Pad.
While the truest arcade experience will always be with an arcade...
PS3 Game: Afterglow AP.2 PS3 Controller
Posted by Game News on Jul 30, 2011 | Leave a Comment
Variety is the spice of life… and you like things spicy, not like the typical everyday fare. Maybe you don’t need SIXAXIS functionality. Perhaps you prefer an asymmetric analog stick layout – a la Xbox 360 – on your PS3 controllers. If so, the PDP Afterglow AP.1 would have been just the thing… if you hadn’t sworn off ever using a wired controller again. You would consider relaxing your policy, but now you’d lose face with your friends if you relent…

PS3 Game: Cars 2

There are a lot of people who are going to walk past Cars 2 without giving it a second thought. After picking up my copy, I stopped at a local fast food place for a quick meal. The drive-thru worker saw the game sitting next to me and questioned my choice of game.
“You actually wasted your money on a crap kid’s game? Should have gone with…trails off listing current top sellers in attempt to proclaim his superior tastes…“
The reaction wasn’t a surprise, but turns...
PS3 Game: Spirit Huntin’
Posted by Game News on Jul 21, 2011 | Leave a Comment
I don’t follow the series the way I used to, but I still consider myself a Bleach fan. For me it is a comfortable series; I love the mythos and know whenever I see an episode – no matter the episode arc – I’ll have a fun time with the series.
Unfortunately, as a game series, the feeling is completely different. Previous games, or at least the few that made their way to North America, were pretty good, but I have a massive aversion towards fighting games. Bleach: Soul Resurrecci

PS3 Game: Status Quo
Posted by Game News on Jul 21, 2011 | Leave a Comment
Resistance 3 offers a completely different world than the one we left at the end of Resistance 2. Two-time series protagonist Nathan Hale is gone and the Chimera have effectively won. Earth is now theirs and the human population has been reduced to a couple thousand groups huddled in makeshift communities.
Joseph Capelli is one such individual adjusting to the new status quo. If you played Resistance 2, you’re already familiar with Capelli and his role in Earth’s current mess. Since then,...
PS3 Game: Puzzle Dimension
Posted by Game News on Jul 17, 2011 | Leave a Comment
Puzzle Dimension is definitely a unique looking game, and a good looking one. This is a kind of platformer puzzle game where you control a shiny, metallic looking ball. The twist is that everything starts out with a pixelized look, or at least a pixelized skin. The background music also starts out as an 8-bit chiptune score. As you cover more and more of the map, the tiles around you change to a modern, rendered look. The chiptunes are replaced with a modern electronic score. It’s like listening...
PS3 Game: Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3
Posted by Game News on Jul 17, 2011 | Leave a Comment
Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3 looks good in action, but suffers outside of it. We’ll start with the good: the game features a cel-shaded look that fits right at home. After all, this game is based on a long-running anime franchise. Outside of this fresh visual style, there’s nothing to jump up and down about. Since this is a Dynasty Warriors game, you can expect to see the same animations millions of times over and you can expect to see equally as many clones on the battlefield. Cutscenes...
PS3 Game: Bench Pressing the Bar
Posted by Game News on Jul 10, 2011 | Leave a Comment
The fall of 2011 is ripe with highly-anticipated new releases, not the least of which is Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception. The follow-up to one of 2009’s best games is four months away, but in the meantime, Naughty Dog has prepared a two-week beta for the game’s multiplayer component. Having spent more than my share of time with it, I can say with no hesitation (and no surprise) that Uncharted 3’s multiplayer is well on its way to topping that of its superb predecessor.
So,...
PS3 Game: Akimi Village
Posted by Game News on Jul 06, 2011 | Leave a Comment
Akimi Village fixes a great injustice. Although Xbox owners have been able to enjoy two Kefling games from NinjaBee, PlayStation 3 owners have been out of the loop. Though the name may not strike the same chord as say, Gears of War, both Kefling games are a fantastic way to relax and have fun doing it.
Similar to Keflings, Akimi Village keeps things simple. The visuals are bright and show a lot of personality. The visual style takes a lot of cues from Asian culture; there’s loads of bamboo...
PS3 Game: Shadows of the Damned
Posted by Game News on Jul 05, 2011 | Leave a Comment
Shadows of the Damned is set in Hell, though you’ll occasionally wonder why things don’t always look hellish. I say “occasionally,” because this game is, in fact, seriously messed up — and I mean that in the best possible way. This version of Hell is less about fire and brimstone and more about Gothic architecture and an oppressive, creeping darkness. The combat looks fantastic; every landed shot has a wonderful sense of impact, regardless of whether it dismembers...
