Half-Minute Hero Review



Trust me, 30 seconds is all you need... to fall in love with this game.

Half-Minute Hero is one of the more abstract and crazier titles to come out of Japan as of late. The game features numerous types of gameplay, but all are based around a single underlying concept: time. Within each of the game's four modes, players are given a total of 30 seconds to complete the objective at hand. Accompanying the unique gameplay is an equally original presentation comprised of highly pixelated sprites and 8-bit backdrops. The title as a whole is simply unlike anything before it.

Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero? Review



Based on classics like Mega Man and Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts, Prinny is an old school game with a new coat of paint.

Fans of Disgaea are already quite familiar with the Penguin-like creatures known as prinnies. Dood is their signature word and they have a tendency to explode, due to the highly unstable nature of the souls which have created them. Prinny is an upbeat character that most players can't avoid falling in love with, and as such, it makes sense that NIS decided to take the character and spin-off an original title based solely around them.

Space Invaders Extreme 2 Review



Space Invaders Extreme is back for round two, this time available exclusively for the DS.

Last year, players were provided with a brand new Space Invaders experience. Rather than the slow moving Arcade classic they were familiar with, a fast-paced, assault on the senses was put in its place. Taito has followed up that title with a brand new one, specifically made for the DS, rather than a variety of platforms. They have used the strenths of the DS to their advantage to produce an even more intense and action-packed title.

Demon's Souls Review



The greatest game of the year or an exercise in frustration?

Demon's Souls is an unapologetically hard game. For full disclosure, I have played quite a bit of the game, but have not made very much progress. The title, set in a dark dreary medieval land, is split into levels each being of considerable length. Unlike most modern games, Demon's Souls offers no checkpoints mid-level, even though each level can take upwards of an hour to complete.

Gravitronix Review



Frustrating control and a lack of options produce an undesirable result.

Gravitronix is a simple title created by upstart company, Medaverse Studios. Players will control a small device that can both attract and reflect the floating items on the field. They must keep the items from hitting their shields on one quadrant of the circular field, and ultimately keep the items from penetrating their shields. A single item to bypass the shields will result in loss.

Thexder Neo Review



Yeah, so you're this mech that can transform into a jet and shoot lasers...

Thexder is an old PC game released by GameArts back in the late '80s. In order to hopefully bring the title to the NES, GameArts licensed the title to Square. Eventually a sequel was released titled, Fire Hawk: Thexder the Second Contact. Both games sold extremely well in Japan and are still revered by many older gamers today. Clearly, since Square first acquired the license back in the '80s, they have retained the publishing rights to the property since they have just released the download-only PSP game, Thexder Neo, a remake of the first title.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Review



Nathan Drake is back for his second adventure in this stunning PlayStation 3 title.

It's impressive to finally see gaming approach a level of complexity in character and story development that parallels what we see in most modern movies. After viewing the very first cutscene in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves I was immediately impressed. Never before had I seen character interaction, dialog, and nuanced expression executed so well in a video game. Uncharted 2 does a spectacular job engaging players in what amounts to be a ten hour interactive movie.

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona Review



Don't be fooled by the dated presentation, the remake of the original Persona reveals a game that was years ahead of its time.

I'll be the first to admit, I have a giant soft spot for the MegaTen series. Moreover, I especially have a soft spot for the Persona series. Persona 3 was the first title in the series I had the pleasure of experiencing and I loved it to death. I eventually went on to purchase and play all of the MegaTen games on the PlayStation 2, and even Persona 2 on the PlayStation. Needless to say, when I heard that the remake of the original title in the series was due for a US release, my interest was piqued to say the least.
