I love both versions of Motorstorm on the PS3, and to be honest I was very sceptical about a PSP version. How could such a graphically impressive, fast paced action racer even be possible on the PSP hardware? Surely it’ll couldn’t compare to it’s big brothers.
Boasting the worst launch in recent memory, Battlefield 1943 was plagued by inadequate server space a chronic inability to join games, and frequent console freezes. Yet, all this followed by the quickest and most impressive post release support I’ve ever seen. Was it simply a case of the game being far too popular for its own good? Does it deserve the popularity? Was it worth the frustration? A thousand times yes!
I became interested in the Tomb Raider series incredible late in the franchise. It wasn’t until Tomb Raider: Underworld that I decided I wanted to know more, and that the adventuring was as good as people claimed, even one-upping Uncharted’s exploring (although that’s about it). And today it seems that rumours of the Tomb Raider series getting rebooted is another step towards fruition.
As you can see above, Eidos seem to be taking the rebooting very seriously, with what can only be described as breast reduction, and as can be seen past the break with the inclusion of what can only be described as “creatures from my worst nightmares” More »
Hurry hurry hurry! The Sixth Axis are reporting that at the UK PSN Store, you are currently able to download the “Pure” DLC for the grand sum of £0.00 (previous £7). No-one is quite sure if this is an intended price revision, or whether it will go back to the original price, so what are you waiting for?
Edit: I have checked this out at the local NZ PSN store and found that it is also free locally. Enjoy.
No, not the update all you PS3 owners have been waiting for, but simply an "update announcement". The first item in a series of promised DLC for PS3 was due for June, but that has now come and gone with no DLC released. In an email to G4TV, marketing VP Pete Hines says:
"[We'll] have [an] update for folks on that next week,"
It’s a statement devoid of any detail, so Fallout 3 players holding out for DLC on their PS3 will just have to continue waiting, and hoping. With such testing of the patience and constant teasing, one wonders if sales will suffer as disgruntled fans spend their dollars elsewhere instead.
Some new Uncharted 2 screenshots have been released and they look simply gorgeous. Click after the break to see the 5 new images.
According to UK website MCV, Little Big Planet is set for a re-release later this year. It is slated to be bundled with DLC already available on PSN, but there are no details about how much or exactly what DLC will be included. The game has already dropped to” budget pricing” here in New Zealand, and was recently sold for as low as £11 in the UK (about NZD $30). It will remain to be seen whether the additional content will be enough to shift this apparently slow moving title.
It’s not often that I purchase a multiplayer only game, the fact is that I am finding it more and more difficult to find time to play multiplayer games when other people are playing, that coupled with the fact that my son has hidden copies of some of my favourite multiplayer titles…… anyway, Battlefield 1943 was definitely something I was keen to get into with the ButtonMasher community.
Sidhe has announced that their self published title, Shatter, will be released on the 23rd of July, that’s just a little over a week away so those of us that have been looking forward to this needn’t wait too much longer. The US price has been set at $7.99, the NZ price is a spectacular $9.90, as Sidhe wish to recognise the support that they recieve from New Zealand gamers and ‘wave the flag for NZ made games’.
The release date is also a simultaneous global release so expect to see it on the 23rd no matter where you live.
Awesome!
If ever there was an incentive to get the podcast started and completed on time, Karate Kid 2 is it. This week we look at the Wii Motion Plus peripheral and Wii Sports Resort, Call of Juarez 2, Sam and Max and many other games that I can’t recall off the top of my head.
