HOLY-FACE ANIMATIONS!
We’ve known about Infamous: Second Son for a while now, but never did I imagine that the game would look this enticing. Sucker Punch had a strong showing during Sony’s Press Conference with this latest entry into the Infamous universe, and all signs are pointing in the right direction for the series.

When it came to Injustice: Gods Among Us, my initial reaction was a resounding “meh”. Don’t get me wrong – I’m actually a huge fan of DC Comics, and fighting games for that matter. A few weeks ago, Injustice was a game that I couldn't care less about. I didn’t like the character designs. I wasn’t sure I wanted to learn a new fighting game. And I definitely thought the stage interactions were extremely gimmicky. However, now as I type this, I couldn’t be more pumped to get my hands on the game and explore its intricacies. So you might ask, “What changed your mind JD?” In a nutshell the answer is this – good marketing.
Double Fine's latest is due in two weeks and it offers a unique take on tower defense and third person action.

A sequel that seems to have improved in every way from an already great game.
When inFamous was released in 2009, it took the gaming world by storm. It was a super-hero inspired game that used open world mechanics along with a deep story and strong morale choices to catch the eyes of many gamers. inFamous was met with critical acclaim, and now the team at Sucker Punch seeks out to top the first game in each and every way with inFamous 2. From my hands on with the game, I feel that it truly lives up to that expectation.
Ivy the Kiwi? is also coming to DS, how does the concept carry over?
If you haven't read our Wii coverage on Ivy the Kiwi? yet, I strongly suggest you do. Essentially, Ivy the Kiwi? DS is no different from the Wii version aside from how you control it, and even that is mostly the same.
Yuji Naka's latest effort may be simple, but it's extremely enjoyable.
As some of you may already know, I've had quite a bit of hands-on time with Ivy the Kiwi? thanks to my import copy of the Japanese title. You may also know that XSEED is bringing that title to America, with as far as I can tell, two simple but highly effective changes.
