A brief look at some of the available characters to choose from and play with in Warriors of Shinsengumi when it arrives for the PlayStation Portable on February 19.
The contents are interesting to say the least.
Limited editions are nothing new in the video game industry, in fact it seems that nearly any game that garners even a mild interest from the gaming public is due to at least offer a limited edition preorder bonus of some sort. With so many limited, special or enhanced editions of games out there, it’s sometimes hard to be surprised when they’re announced, but every now and then a limited edition is revealed that is sure to turn a few heads, even if it’s only because of the interesting nature of its contents. Enter the Record of Argarest War 2 Limited Edition.
A unique and beautiful swan song for the PSP.
I’ve never been so deceived by a game before, as I was with Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom. It’s my own fault really, since I requested the title for review without knowing anything about it. Which is why, two hours in, I was confused as to why I was stuck reading a gratuitous amount of text. Impatient, I scoured the menus for anything that would clue me into the “gameplay” I was awaiting. Rather than control options I found nothing but text speed, romance animation, and other odd selections. Bewildered, I pressed on hoping for something to happen; finally it did. Suddenly, reading didn’t bother me as much, I didn’t care about controlling a character, and my impatient anticipation for gameplay dissipated. All that mattered was the winding storyline, the fascinating characters, and making choices to define my own in-game destiny.
Record of Agarest War 2 will be available in North-America, and Europe in the Summer of 2012 for the PlayStation 3.
As I sit here, pondering how to approach a review for the game Hyperdimension Neptunia, my mind begins to wander...
What did I ever do to deserve this?
There's so much disappointment in virtually every aspect of Hyperdimension Neptunia. The concept is creative but doesn't work. The characters were created with seemingly no purpose except to be viewed as borderline risque versions of the companies or consoles they represent. The battle system, while operable, is completely convoluted, offering players too many meaningless, worthless attack options that grow to be too complex for any sort of general consumption. There are so many issues, it's hard to tell where to begin.
Three new screenshots and a release date correction are also included.
Today NIS released the official boxart for both the PS2 and Wii versions of Sakura Wars: So Long My Love, along with additional details regarding the PS2 premium box version.
