This is the best game of footy you can play on the 3DS, but it still has a lot of room for improvement.
Pro Evolution Soccer debuted on the 3DS last spring as a rushed out launch title lacking game modes and customization options. This year, Konami clearly took the time to make a better game by including a decent variety of tournaments and leagues to partake in.
Gorgeous visuals, ultra-fast racing, and great online options place in the top three while the loading screen loses the race.
Wipeout 2048 makes its debut on the freshly released Vita hoping to capture the hearts of racing fanatics through ultra-fast racing and jaw-dropping visuals. It acts as a prequel to the series, setting you in the not too distant future where modern day architecture meets futuristic technology.
Ubisoft delivers a near perfect port of a near perfect game.
Stunning animations and gorgeous art design make this 2D platformer a must see for all gamers. The visuals aren’t the only trick up up Ubisoft’s sleeve though. The game’s top-notch controls and level design will assure you that the flashy visuals are merely the icing on a gameplay-focused cake.
This glorified tech demo fails to deliver an entertaining experience.
It is immediately clear that Little Deviants was designed to let you play with all of the Vita’s features. Within the first half hour you will use the touch screen, rear touch pad, motion controls, camera, and even the microphone. The ideas displayed are definitely interesting, but within that first half hour you will have seen everything the game has to offer. By the time I reached my first hour of gameplay I was already bored of all of the mini-games – even the good ones.
Home console quality gaming meets the handheld market.
Mobile devices have put casual gaming at the frontlines of the handheld market, but Sony’s PlayStation Vita is a newly bred handheld beast with the power of current-gen gaming. It would be good to ask if Sony’s hardcore approach amongst the current casual gaming boom is a smart business move, but that can only be revealed in the near future. For now, we can only look at the Vita’s technical specs to judge the system. With that in mind, the Vita is a console with a lot of highs and only a few lows.
Opening up the Vita on its early launch.
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 grand daddy of vehicle brutality is back and ready to haunt gamers this Valentine’s Day.
When Twisted Metal: Black was released in 2001 the world was taken by storm by its great single player stories, large-scale online multiplayer, and endlessly fun local multiplayer. Here we are, waiting nearly 11 years to get our hands on the next console version of Twisted Metal. With a February 14th release date, this Valentines Day is shaping up to be a good day for any PS3 owner who is into cars, destruction, morbid stories, and online multiplayer.
Real-time strategy elements in a 3rd person shooter could make this a unique online experience.
As the spiritual successor to Warhawk, LightBox and Santa Monica Studios hope to evolve online warfare through their PS3 exclusive, Starhawk. The public online beta launched earlier this month for all PS Plus members and will be open to all Uncharted 3 owners on January 31. The game will be released with a wide variety of online multiplayer modes as well as an offline single player campaign this May.
Let PixlBit get you up to speed on all things Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2!
Final Fantasy is one of the most celebrated series in video game history. It spans 14 epic games across five console generations and is loved by fans around the world. But the funny thing about Final Fantasy is the fact that each adventure takes place in a completely different world with new lands to explore, party members to meet and villains to defeat. The only time a Final Fantasy game has continued its story was with the spinoff of FF X, which was given the awkward-but-accurate name of Final Fantasy X-2. That changes now, with the divisive Final Fantasy XIII getting a direct sequel on January 31.
