TMNT: Turtles In Time Re-Shelled Review (360, XBLA)

tmnt_turtles_in_time_reshelled

The re-release of this popular TMNT game shows one thing, I’m still a sucker for the Ninja Turtle games. This beat’em up plays just like the other TMNT Arcade game that’s already been out on XBLA, smash your way to the end boss. The difference between the two is this new “re-shelled” version has a graphics upgrade, the ability to attack in 8 directions, and more options to play around with.

‘Splosion Man Review (360, XBLA)

splosionman

I enjoy platforming games so I was quite excited to hear that ‘Splosion Man was a pure platforming title on XBLA. Bypassing the demo completely, I downloaded the game straight to my 360 based on some recommendations from other gamers I know. The verdict…they were right about ‘Splosion Man. It lived up to the pure platforming fun I was expecting. But they are two sides to every coin.

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (Trailer)

We haven’t heard much about the game other than the fact it isn’t supposed to be all that great.  We’ll probably be reviewing it soon, so an open mind will be something I keep until I get my hands on it.

‘Soul Breeding’ Game Possibly Headed Stateside

504x_recordof

It looks like the Japanese game ‘Soul Breeding’ could be headed to North America.  According to Kotaku, “Record of Agarest War, the “soul breeding” Japanese strategy RPG” could be headed to the Xbox 360 and Sony PS3 stateside.  I’m a little surpised considering games like this rarely make it to the states, but it could be a much-needed and unusual addition to our game libraries.  From the looks of all the images I have seen so far, the game could be a typical pervy Japanese title, but who’s complaining?

The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena (PS3 Review)

Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC)

Developer: Starbreeze Studios/Tigon Studios

Publisher: Atari

Released: April 7, 2009

MSRP: $59.99

We finally got the chance to play the new Riddick game (PS3 version) and can definitely say its worth picking up.  This title has certainly been under-rated by many sites.  For whatever reason, the Microsoft Gods didn’t include Escape From Butcher Bay on their backwards compatibility list, but Assault on Dark Athena gives you another chance to play the game.  It’s basically the same great game with polished graphics and sound.  If you somehow missed this title, you simply need to buy Assault on Dark Athena.  Escape From Butcher Bay was one of my picks for “top 5 Xbox games”…

Sony and Microsoft Don’t Need To Compete With Nintendo

360_wii_ps31

Next month we will probably see Microsoft and Sony unveil new control schemes that mimic the motion madness that is the Nintendo Wii.  I certainly understand that Microsoft and Sony believe they are in competition with the Wii, but they are mistaken.  The Wii has become a cultural phenom and sales records of the system are partially due to the fact that non-gamers were caught up in the frenzy.  With that said, I think it’s a huge mistake for Sony and Microsoft to compete with the Wii.  Instead of competing, they need to improve on what they are the best at.  It’s too late in the ball game anyway to expect people to get excited about motion controls on the 360 and PS3.

Star Ocean Impressions (Xbox 360) Part II

star-ocean-the-last-hope-1

A little time has passed since my initial impressions of the game and my opinions have certainly changed in some ways.  I criticized the game for its simple battle mechanics, but once you get deeper into the story, battle becomes a little more intricate.  As you gain new abilities and learn everything there is to know about the battle system, it certainly becomes a little better.  I didn’t face any kind of challenge in battles until I was around level 29.

Do You Feel Ripped Off By DLC?

dlc

Downloadable content, or DLC as we call it, is more popular than ever. Nearly every game released is expected to have some type of it launch.  I just read about some new DLC that launched or will launch soon and it got me thinking about the quality/quantity of DLC. Is the price fair for DLC? How much content should we actually get? Should downloadable games get DLC? Do you feel ripped off by DLC?
