Definite Proof They Are Not Zombies In The Last Of Us
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 7th of March 2013 - 07:05 PM ]
I'll fully admit that when I first saw The Last Of Us back in December of 2011 I was impressed with the visuals but not really the setting or enemies. I believe I harshed on it being another post-apocalypse title trying to cash in on the 'end of the world' scenario that is still kind of all the rage. I mean they even called the creatures 'The Infected' during the initial launch. How were we not supposed to think that this was going to be another zombie type of game. Read More...

Review: PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale
by Devin Ballard [ Friday, 1st of March 2013 - 10:30 PM ]
So before I get on the review, let me just say that I’m not big on fighting games. I’m more of an RPG, MMO, or FPS kind of guy. Seldom has a fighting game captured my attention and made me want to continue playing through both defeat and success, so when I say that I’m genuinely interested in PlayStation All-Stars just know that I don’t say that lightly. This is a cross-over fighting game made by SuperBot Entertainment and SCE Santa Monica Studio exclusively for the PS3. Big surprise right? Read More...

Square Enix Announces Not Kingdom Hearts 3
by Kenton Winkfield [ Tuesday, 26th of February 2013 - 11:10 PM ]
Square Enix had a big announcement today about everyone's favorite Final Fantasy/Disney crossover. Unfortunately, it wasn't the highly anticipated Kingdom Hearts 3. Kingdom Hearts fans around the world collectively sigh in disappointment as they read about Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix, set to release Fall of 2013. It is a compilation for the PlayStation 3 featuring Kingdom Hearts Final Mix; Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories; and story cut scenes from Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. The games will also have trophies, giving all players, old and new, even more reasons to play Kingdom Hearts. Read More...

Now That We've Had Some Time, Let's Talk PS4
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Tuesday, 26th of February 2013 - 01:45 AM ]
It's been a bit of time since Sony held its huge press conference where the PS4 was officially announced. They let loose the proposed specs for the new machine as well as a quick look at the Dual Shock 4, new services, and a few games that will be coming this holiday season. With the announcements comes a bit of wonder and excitement, as I am sure Sony wants, but should we blindly follow along and get ready to drop upwards of $600 this November? I've had some time to reflect and let the initial excitement subside, so let me bring up a few things I took away and pondered on. If for some reason you missed it, as I did, you want to check what I'm talking about, or you just don't care for the words and just want to watch it again, the video is below. Read More...

Sony's New Patent Could Put An End To Used Games
by Greg Tatterfield [ Friday, 4th of January 2013 - 06:52 PM ]
Used games have been a sore spot with game companies for a long time now. For most gamers used games are a great way to save money or play a game that they may have missed. However If Sony has anything to say about it this trend may be coming to an end soon. Sony has filed a patent for a new technology that will block used games from being played on Sony's consoles. The new system works by reading a tag embedded on the game disk and then linking to the player ID and the user’s console. After the tag has been linked to the first console that the game was played on any future attempt to play the game on another user’s console will not work. Read More...

Here's A Little More On The Story For The Last Of Us
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 12th of December 2012 - 05:58 PM ]
Up until recently the story of The Last Of Us has been a little bit on the generic "post outbreak apocalypse" side of things. The basics as well. There was a fungus that mutated most of the world into crazed, facial-athletes foot looking, beat-up-the-normies kind of beasts. Then there is Joel and Ellie trying to survive a bit longer while being hunted by both the fungi-people and all the humans who turn to filth because they can. At least that was up until the latest "Story Trailer" that was released during the VGAs and then un-edited by Sony. You can see it below. Read More...

Take A Look At The New PlayStation Store Coming Next Week
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 18th of October 2012 - 10:08 PM ]
If all is still to be believed, all of us PS3 owners will be getting a shiny, new store front this coming Tuesday. Something I have been hoping to come for quite some time now as I have missed a load of new content when it loads. But after seeing the below, I am not too sure that this is what I've been hoping for. Take a look at the following tour and I'll continue my thought flow. Doesn't it really look like it is set up more to sell ad space than anything? Read More...

God Of War: Ascension Collector's Edition And Pre-Orders
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Friday, 12th of October 2012 - 08:46 PM ]
Attention collectors! Looks like we have a look at what is coming for the upcoming God Of War: Ascension Collector's Edition and… It looks… just like every other Collector's Editions out there. Statue, DLC pass, and all. Not that I am not excited for the GoW:A and I won't be getting this version of the game, but it seems a little blah. At least it is only $80 unlike the GoW 3 Collector's Edition. So what is in this Collector's box? Read More...

God of War: Ascension Gets Furious… I Mean Furies
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 13th of September 2012 - 10:19 PM ]
So we've seen some of the basic enemies. We've seen the Elephantor. How about some enemies that are part of the ancient cultures that God Of War: Ascension is borrowing from. In this case the Furies or Erinyes depending which you go by. In this case though it looks like Santa Monica Studios is going with the three named Furies for Kratos to rip apart. As will be seen below the first to be shown is Megaera, the jealous one. I'm still trying to understand the spider-like look that has been given to her, especially when it would be easier to just include Arachne and call it a day. Read More...

Beyond: Two Souls Game Play Kind Of Revealed
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 22nd of August 2012 - 09:45 PM ]
Beyond: Two Souls was announced at E3 2012. This is the new game from Quantic Dream (Heavy Rain, Indigo Prophecy) that features Ellen Page as the main protagonist. Hopefully you remember that being the big news and then they didn't show anything more than her character sitting in a room silent and motionless. Go ahead and look that up, it will be a little important to the rest of this here. If you are in the know already, then let's move on. Read More...

Until Dawn Looks Like A Teen Horror I'd Love To Play
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 16th of August 2012 - 04:38 PM ]
Sony announces Until Dawn for the PS3 during their press conference at Gamescom 2012 During the Sony press conference at Gamescom 2012 there were a few new IPs announced, but the one that caught my attention the most was Until Dawn. A new survival horror game that was designed with the PS Move in mind. Yea, I know that is where the selling point kind of loses a lot of people. I know I'm no fan of motion controls in the least bit, but they can be done right. Read More...

Review: Sorcery
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 27th of June 2012 - 04:55 PM ]
Sorcery was shown to all of us over two years ago at E3 as a "tech demo" of sorts to show off the cool things that Sony had in store for us with motion gaming. It was the first real "wow" thing for the Move and then it kind of went silent. Then it popped back into existence all of a sudden to try and sell more of the controllers that were losing their steam in a market that doesn't really want motion controls. But does that mean that this is just some slopware? Well keep reading if you wish to know. Read More...

E3 2012 Hands On: God Of War: Ascension - Multiplayer
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 13th of June 2012 - 08:51 PM ]
Well here is one of the big games I was looking forward to seeing at E3 this year, God Of War: Ascension. Not just because it is another title for one of my favorite franchises, but because this time around Sony Santa Monica is adding in something I never would have thought would be in a God Of War title. That is Multiplayer for those of you who skipped reading the title. I have included the video and screens of the single player game play that was available at E3, but let's be honest there really isn't much they can change to the game's winning single player.

PlayStation E3 2012 Press Conference Recap
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Tuesday, 5th of June 2012 - 02:17 PM ]
Did you somehow miss the PlayStation/Sony Press Conference for this year's E3? With so many different ways to watch it and keep up to date, it is a little difficult to believe that could be the case. Lucky for those four or five people out there, I was on the floor watching everything live for you. Also lucky for you, I took the time to gather up a bit of the highlights of the show as well as a three part showing at the very bottom. I really am just the best, aren't I? Before I let you go on and watch things, let me recap for you to try and save you time. Read More...

Review: Starhawk
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Monday, 21st of May 2012 - 10:10 PM ]
Starhawk has landed. From what I saw on all the social media sites, it must have been one of the most anticipated games to come to the PlayStation. One could kind of view it as a sequel to Warhawk, in spirit, but with a focus on single player this time out and not just multiplayer. Let's just jump right in and find out what I think of the game so you can decide to drop your money or not. The Story In the future humans start to move out into the galaxy and do what they do best, harvest natural resources and cause wars over energy. Only issue this time is that the main and most valuable source of energy, Rift Energy, also has the side effect of mutating humans into something worse. Read More...
