Fighting game fans have been served quite well lately with titles like King of Fighters XIII and Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3, but those who prefer fighters that take the 3D approach were probably eagerly anticipating the release of this brand new chapter in Namco’s SoulCalibur franchise. Does this fifth installment fight its way to the top or does it take a beating? We gave it a spin to find out…
It’s no coincidence that SoulCalibur is one of the most popular fighting ...
Those of you who used to drop quarter after quarter into the coin-ops at the local arcade, freely burning your Saturday afternoon away hanging out with your buddies as you try to gain digital infamy with your name on the leaderboards, will be thrilled to hear that one of the most cherished multiplayer side-scrolling brawlers of all time is about to make its way to your Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3. That’s right, The Simpsons Arcade Game is seeing a return to the limelight by way of Xbox ...
Danger is his...er...last name? That’s right, Joe Danger is on the comeback trail, now fully recovered from his debilitating accident, and looking to regain the fame he once had...again. If his name sounds familiar, it’s because this isn’t Joe’s first comeback. Releasing back in the summer of 2010, Joe Danger took PSN by storm, garnering a tank full of praise from consumers and critics alike (we gave it a 9.1). Now, Joe is back, taking his gravity-defying motorcycle ...
When one thinks of long-standing franchises, some obvious ones come to mind: Castlevania, Mario Bros., Zelda. Halo is the most recent franchise to enter the Decade club with its anniversary this year. One tends to forget that the Need for Speed series has been around since 1994, when “The Need for Speed” was released for the 3DO. That’s almost 18 years of arcade racing goodness. Publisher Electronic Arts has one of those formulas that has enjoyed sustained success. This ...
While the level of quality entertainment provided by Steven Spielberg’s latest animated blockbuster, The Adventures of Tintin and the Secret of the Unicorn, doesn’t need to be established, the inevitable video game adaptation tied in with the release of the film does have a lot to prove. Knowing that these adaptations don’t always rhyme with quality, where does this version of Tintin’s adventures stand in the grand scheme of things? Let’s find out!
One ...
Well, the fans have been asking for it for many years now, and as of last week, it finally came to fruition. A video game adaption of the classic robot-battling, universe-defending franchise, Voltron (no, I don’t count last year’s now-MIA iPhone game). Based on the 1980’s cartoon series, Voltron: Defender of the Universe brings the Lions and the titular hero to XBLA and PSN, covering multiple events in the continuity, from the first discovery of Voltron, to the defense of ...
Snooki. The Situation. Snoop Dogg. LMFAO. The Real World. Are any of these names synonymous with video games? MTV seems to think so. Yoostar on MTV is now available for the Xbox 360, exclusively for play with its Kinect motion sensor. It is the second Yoostar title released for Kinect, with Yoostar 2: In the Movies coming out last year. Yoostar is best described as “video karaoke”, with Kinect technology superimposing your body into music videos, television shows, and movies. ...
Disney has been ingrained in humankind’s psyche for a very long time. Kids of all ages have grown up with Mickey, Donald, Goofy and the rest of the gang with cartoons, books, toys, and the theme parks. Video games are now enjoying full acceptance as a mainstream form of entertainment, and where there’s mainstream entertainment, there’s Disney. So, with the Kinect being geared towards the family demographic, it is only natural that Microsoft Studios jumps in with Kinect ...
The recent surge of compilation packs can be considered an ideal win-win situation as far as I’m concerned. It can be a nostalgic blast to go back and play some of our beloved stories of the past, and it can provide an opportunity for the many who never had the chance to experience some of the great games of yesteryear. Some of these re-releases do a better job than others in terms of content. Some are just the games themselves, while others pack in Making-Of videos, themes, and so ...
The Battlefield franchise is one of the most storied series in gaming over the last decade. Beginning in World War II, the class-based shooter has seen multiple incarnations and offshoots throughout the the years. Though Battlefield made its name as a class-based multiplayer affair, recent iterations have seen the franchise include character driven narratives to provide a bit of depth to the experience. In an effort to capture the zeitgeist of modern warfare (no pun intended), Battlefield 3 ...
