GamesCom: Time Crisis Razing Storm Hands-OnMon, Aug 23rd, 2010, 8:14 am (EST) BY JAMIE FELTHAMI wasn't exactly sure what to expect when I sat down to play Time Crisis Razing Storm, the latest entry in the franchise that also supports PlayStation Move. I haven't been too much of a fan of the light-gun genre ever since the Wii took away the appeal of a Guncon controller and replaced it with the Wii Zapper. You couldn't actually aim without a reticule on screen and that basically made it like playing with a mouse instead of an actual gun. More » |
First Glimpse Of Tekken X Street FighterFri, Aug 20th, 2010, 2:27 pm (EST) BY COLIN
You've seen the trailer for Street Fighter X Tekken, you've seen the playable demo as well as multiple screenshots. What you haven't seen is Namco's version of the fighting crossover, Tekken X Street Fighter. It's still in the very early stages of development, so early that Ryu's character model had to borrow Paul's wardrobe. It's looking pretty good thus far. |

Demon's Souls: Black Phantom Edition ReviewThu, Jul 1st, 2010, 8:59 pm (EST) BY DARRYLDemon's Souls has been something of an anomaly. When the game was released over a year ago in Japan, expectations were quite low. It was a brand new game featuring gameplay from a niche genre; it also had very unforgiving gameplay. However, it became something of a cult hit and gamers from the West ended up importing an English version of the game from Asia - a lot of effort for just one game. Atlus USA saw the potential and brought it to North America, but it's taken this long to reach European shores courtesy of Namco Bandai. So, what's all the fuss about? More » |
