Little Big Planet 2 Preview

LTNChica — Tue, 11 May 2010 02:08:56 +0000

The game, Little Big Planet 2, is a game that will exclusively be coming out for the Sony PlayStation 3. The release date has not yet been officially decided on but it will be some time late in this year. This game, which is developed by Media Molecule, is a sequel to a game which many people loved.

Here is a preview that was given to the game:

“So Little Big Planet 2, which Evans and Healey revealed at the event (in pre alpha form), is not a major departure from its predecessor – no “reboots” here. Rather than revamp the first game, Media Molecule is building on the Little Big Planet foundation, making the Little a bit bigger. Sackboy’s still here, as are the stickers and the Popit level creation interface. Little Big Planet 2 will even maintain backward compatibility with all those Little Big Planet 1 levels – in fact, they’ll look just a tad crisper and shinier with Little Big Planet 2’s refined graphics engine.”

Be sure to check this game out again a little later on when there are more details about it as the release date gets closer.

3D Dot Game Heroes Review

LTNChica — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 03:03:20 +0000

The game, 3D Dot Game Heroes, is a game that is going to be releasing exclusively for the Sony PlayStation 3. This game will be coming out on the date of May 11, 2010. This game is an action role playing game.

The following is a brief review that was given to this game:

“3D Dot Game Heroes rips off The Legend of Zelda, but it does so in the most complimentary way possible. 3D Dot Game Heroes is an attempt to develop a video game we all wish Nintendo would create but know in our hearts likely never will: a brand-new old school Zelda. If Nintendo won’t do it, Japanese developer Silicon Studios must have thought to themselves: ‘Okay, then. We will.’ The end product of high-definition nostalgia is one filled of mixed results, and it’s had me circling back to the biggest question I’ve asked about 3D Dot Game Heroes: so, is it any good? That’s a loaded question that requires a complicated answer. It’s a yes…and a no.”

Make sure to look into more details about this game when the May 11th release date gets closer.

SOCOM 4 Coming this Fall

LTNChica — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 03:54:10 +0000

Sony has just recently given the announcement that SOCOM 4 is a game, from Zipper, that is not only just being worked on at the moment, but it is going to be released in the fall of this year. As of right now, there are not many details as you could easily figure out. However, here is what Jeremy Dunham, the Zipper community manager, had to say so far:

“A militant revolutionary has unexpectedly seized control in an important South Asian country. As the Ops Com, your mission is to command an elite five-man squad charged with stopping his aggressive agenda before it’s too late. In only six days, you must lead your team through a hostile jungle and urban environments against an army of well-armed rebel insurgents that completely outnumber you. We’re still fully committed to supporting MAG for a long, long time, and the addition of another game in our lineup doesn’t change that.”

For all of you SOCOM fans, what do you hope to find in the next part of this franchise? Are you excited?

PS3 Best of 2009 Awards

LTNChica — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 18:48:05 +0000

The following are the “Best of 2009 Awards” for the PlayStation:

Best Action Game – Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
Best Fighting Game – Blaz Blue: Calamity Trigger
Best Music Game – DJ Hero
Best Puzzle Game – Critter Crunch
Best Racing Game – Need for Speed: Shift
Best Role- Playing Game – Demon’s Soul
Best Shooter Game – Killzone
Best Sports Game – FIFA Soccer 10
Award for Visual Excellence – Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
Best Story – Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
Best Multiplayer Game – Infamous
Best PlayStation 2 Game – Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
Best PlayStation Story Game – Ar Tonelico 2: Melody of Meta Falica
PlayStation 3 Game of the Year – Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

The PlayStation 3 had a very good year. There was a pretty good stream of high quality releases for the whole year. Something that helped the PlayStation 3 have such a successful year was the price drop that it took. The price drop helped the PlayStation 3 be sold more which eventually lead to higher sales of the games. Also, there were many third party publishers that came out with some decent games too. Do you agree with these “best” games?

DJ Hero Controller

LTNChica — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 02:08:46 +0000

Activision is coming out with DJ Hero which is going to have its own unique controller. This music game is coming out for the Wii, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. This unique music game’s controller is going be able to mimic the same experience of a real DJ. You must master the dual turntables and the fader of the disc jockey. However, this one of a kind controller will not work for any other game which makes people hesitant about buying such an expensive item.

Jamie Jackson, the creative director of DJ Hero, was asked by the website “Destructoid” whether or not the DJ Hero controller would work with any other game. Jamie Jackson responded with a quite obvious answer by saying, “DJ Hero is DJ Hero. If someone needed to use our controller, then they would basically have to rip our game off.”

After all, the only other DJ game that I can think of is Scratch: The Ultimate DJ. Both the controller and the gameplay are completely different from each other so it makes sense that as of right now, it looks like the DJ Hero controller will not be used for any other games.

Command and Conquer 3: Red Alert for PS3

Jared Stenzel — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 00:56:17 +0000

Finally, Electronic Arts has announced the projected release of Command and Conquer 3: Red Alert for those Playstation 3. This game may be quite a bit late for Playstation 3 owners, but Electronic Arts is trying to spice up the package. Not only do you get the classic game that has been released for quite some time, but you get some “additions” to the game in what they are calling the Ultimate Edition.

What’s going to be so special about the name, I’m not so sure yet. I have a great feeling that this means that there could be an announcement for the next Command and Conquer game during the Christmas rush of 2009. Just my predictions.
