Light on features, the Jak and Daxter Collection is likely to have limited appeal.
Jak & Daxter Collection has been a long time coming. Given Sony's track record for HD remasters and Naughty Dog's rise in popularity thanks to Uncharted, it was surprising that these PS2 heroes hadn't been given the HD treatment earlier. Even odder, the game has been an extremely low profile launch for Sony, as they have done very little to promote the title and its availability is still extremely limited. Being that the collection is completely devoid of bonuses, and next to no clean up work has been done on these aging classics, it's not entirely surprising that Sony is giving this one the silent treatment.
Female Shepard, Multiplayer, and Customization are just some of the new features shown off.
Bioware has released a slew of new Mass Effect 3 trailers. Some of which explore the cinematic nature of the game, while others show off the new custom options. The newest trailer fully features Female Shepard, which has been highly demanded by fans of the series. Tell us which of the trailers below are your favorites!
When five of ten puzzles are borrowed from past episodes, we have a problem.
After playing through the past three Carmen Sandiego Adventures in Math games, I’ve built up a memory bank full of the puzzles that have been featured in each one. It’s pretty easy, as each game only contains ten puzzles and each feature repeat puzzles from prior installments. The Great Gateway Grab stays true to the series’ roots, as it has a total of three repeat puzzles with two that are extremely similar, though not identical, to past puzzles. When half of the puzzles in the game are repeats, it becomes very hard to suggest anyone buy it if they’ve been following along with the series.
The publisher goes to the social network to test the waters.
UPDATE: Ask and you shall receive. Atlus has announced that due to popular demand, they will be running a second printing of Radiant Historia. The second printing will go live sometime in March and will be available at EB Games and Amazon.com. It is possible that the game will be made available through other outlets, but we cannot confirm that at this time. Below is the original story as it was reported on February 3, 2012.
The company had strong sales in Japan to make up for poor international numbers.
Namco Bandai has announced that its quarterly profits have increased by 48%. This is due to a 17% increase in Japan and despite a 27% decrease in the US and a 5% decrease in Europe. The period in question is from the beginning of October to the end of December 2011.
Substance catches up to style in this blood-filled sequel.
Like its predecessor, Shank 2 is a 2D linear action platformer. I’ll be honest, I didn’t play more than 30 minutes of the original. I was more than intrigued by Shank’s ultra-violent cartoon animations, but I didn’t enjoy the gameplay at all. The combat mechanics felt clumsy and seemed disconnected from what was happening on screen, and the dodging mechanics were also extremely tough to pull off -- making it a chore to play.
The finale of the NES trilogy is truly a classic to behold.
The year was 1990. It is about a year before the Super Nintendo makes its debut, but the NES is enjoying brisk sales of both hardware and games. The previous year Nintendo released its first handheld system, the Game Boy, and unleashed the addiction known as Tetris. This was, however, in North America. As I eluded to in Mario Mania #2, a Famicom player often had a different, exclusive set of hardware to play with than his counterpart in North America. The Japan-only accessory, the Famicom Disk System, was one of them.
