Tekken 6 PSP Review
Written by from on November 30th, 2009 | 0 CommentsTekken 6 on the PSP may be leaner than its console version, but it delivers the Tekken experience admirably. Naturally, Namco Bandai modified the controls, but the basic mechanics work just like the PS3/360 version (which you can read about right here ). You won’t find a true port, however. The game omits the excessive and often boring campaign mode from the console version, and the backgrounds and textures aren’t as sharp and refined. But despite hardware limitations, Tekken 6 PSP closely resembles its brethren: great visuals, demanding gameplay, and a roster brimming with personality.
Yakuza 3 Listed on Amazon Germany for March
Written by from on November 30th, 2009 | 0 CommentsWhile we’re still waiting on official confirmation that Yakuza 3 is indeed being localized for western release, Amazon Germany has appeared to provide further unofficial evidence that fans of the series should keep up hope. A listing for Yakuza 3 has appeared on the Amazon Germany site, where it’s apparently set for a March release. We were told back in September by a source close to the project that game was in fact undergoing localization for an eventual U.S. release, but Sega has yet to confirm it. VG247 also contacted Sega concerning this Amazon Germany listing, but were given a standard “no comment” response by a Sega representative. Still, this seems to provide more hope that the series will once again make its way outside of Japan. So far only the original Yakuza and its sequel have been released in the U.S. Yakuza 3, which was released in Japan back in February, is actually the fourth game in the series as it follows a spin-off title set in Kyoto during the Edo period (which was also released only in Japan in March of last year). And even if (when?) Yakuza 3 finally does make it state-side, we’re still going to be behind: Sega already announced Yakuza 4 (confusingly, the fifth game in the series) back in July.

Call of Duty Classic Coming to XBLA and PSN This Week
Written by from on November 30th, 2009 | 0 CommentsThe original Call of Duty is set to hit Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network this week. Major Nelson confirmed it will hit XBLA this Wednesday for 1200 Microsoft Points ($15). TVGB reports that Activision has confirmed it for PSN as well, coming on Thursday for $14.99. We weren’t sure if the marketing partnership with Microsoft might make it hit XBLA first, but that apparently isn’t the case. If you balk at paying the fifteen bucks for an old game, keep in mind that if you picked up the Hardened or Prestige editions of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 , the downloadable title is free. Just check for a download code somewhere among the remains of the box you hastily ripped open after the midnight release.

Puzzle Quest 2 Coming to 360 and DS in Spring
Written by from on November 30th, 2009 | 0 CommentsWe got our first look at Puzzle Quest 2 a few days ago, but now D3 Publisher has made the announcement official. Puzzle Quest 2 is due out for Xbox Live Arcade and the Nintendo DS sometime next spring. The game features the same match-3 puzzle system that made the first popular, and lets players choose from one of four classes: War Mage, Inquisitor, Barbarian, or Assassin. The press release seems to indicate separate stories for each of the classes, though they all focus on fighting the demon Gorgon. The first game was a critical hit and eventually rolled out to just about every system. Its follow-up, Galactrix wasn’t as popular, and fans didn’t seem to connect as much with its more complex puzzle type. D3 seems to be returning to the well of a simpler match-3 system that fans seem to want, with a few new twists for returning questers. We’re likely to see this initial 360 and DS launch expand to PSN and PSP, but there’s no word on those versions yet.
Building Blocks
Written by from on November 30th, 2009 | 0 CommentsBuilding Blocks How the Games We Play as Kids Shape Our Tastes By Nadia Oxford Video games, like so many things, can make an indelible impression on us early in life. Though we may not necessarily realize it, the games we love as kids can condition us to gravitate towards certain titles as adults. Many of us who have grown up alongside games since the days of the NES or Atari 2600 still love to experience the medium’s cutting edge. But sometimes it feels good to forego exposing ourselves to a new experience in favor of playing games that re-connect us with our roots. The games industry has recently taken to defining gamers as “Core” and “Casual,” which is as useful as classifying movie-goers as “People Who Dig Explosions” and “People Who Dig the Weepy Stuff.” Realistically, the choices we made on the NES and further back has shaped us into a very diverse-and very lucky-generation of gamers.
