Despite what the title of this review says, this game is definitely not Warlords.
Man, I really love Warlords. It’s hard to believe how great of a game it is, with its simple rules, spot-on controls, and its capability to create some of the most memorable multiplayer experiences around. Now, don’t get confused. I’m speaking about Warlords, which can be played on your Atari 2600 (or possibly in your local arcade), and definitely not some other game that is now available on PSN and XBLA. That game, Definitely Not Warlords (DNW), is an affront to the basic beauty of game design and does not deserve to carry the Warlords name.
Once upon a time, one of the toughest games got its rightful sequel. It’s now.
Out of all the 3DS titles released this year, Shinobi is the most likely to become a hard-to-find cult classic. Even with all of its faults, hardcore fans will find more than enough content to feel fulfilled. The developers at Griptonite have reinvigorated a dormant series that has stayed true to its roots as an unforgiving, relentless, combat-based platformer.
Our star-spangled superhero's voice actor is the best part about it.
When I read Nick's review for the Xbox 360 version of this game, I wept on the inside, knowing that my review copy was already on its way.
Even Next Level Games can't keep Captain America from being lame.
I hate to say it, but I've always disliked Captain America. He's a lame superhero who's in possession of no super powers whatsoever. Sure, he's a peak human specimen thanks to the Super-Soldier serum, but that still makes him pretty dull in comparison to most other superheroes. It also makes him pretty on par with most video game characters that share many of the same abilities. The Prince from Prince of Persia comes to mind – both are acrobatic, strong, and can defeat hordes of enemies without breaking a sweat. The difference between the two? The Prince starred in a great game – Captain America, a mediocre one.
The latest from Sega on 3DS is a revisitation of the classic Shinobi series, due for release September 2011.
Developed by Griptonite Games, the long anticipated title will arrive in stores this September.
Today, Sega officially announced Shinobi for the 3DS, in development at Griptonite Games. The game's existence was originally leaked in a resume posted on LinkedIn and again later on the cover of Nintendo Power. According to the press release, players will once again be able to experience the classic side-scrolling gameplay this September.
“Greetings, true believers!” Stan Lee’s words as he introduces Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions.
The DS version of the latest Spider-Man entry is one I found to be a bit of a delightful surprise. I’d describe the title as a Metroid Fusion-inspired Brawler. In the game, three versions of Spider-Man, The Amazing Spider-Man, Noir Spider-Man, and 2099 Spider-Man navigate a modest-sized maze of a map, uncovering power-ups and secrets along the way as they bang up hundreds of baddies.

Four Spider-Men are better than one.
It seems that each and every year a new Spider-Man game is released, and every year that Spider-Man game seems to be a disappointment. My last exposure to a Spider-Man game was Spider-Man 2, which featured open-world exploration and tasks. The game controlled well and was moderately enjoyable, but the structure was a bit too loose, causing the game to eventually become tedious and boring. Shattered Dimensions, the latest Spider-Man game, is quite the opposite. For the first time ever, the essence of Spider-Man has truly been captured through the game's characters, levels, presentation, and solid gameplay.
