With Street Fighter IV & King of Fighters XII rejuvenating the fighting genre, it was time for the Tekken series to step into the ring and show other fighting games how it’s done. With the largest character roster in Tekken history, HD graphics, and competitive online modes, is Tekken 6 the best fighting game our current generation of consoles has to offer?
We as humans have always had a fascination with the undead. The undead have been discussed in books, danced in music videos, and murdered in video games on a regular basis. In Tecmo’s Undead Knights, the undead take center stage. This time, one of the main focuses is to create undead minions from sacrificing your enemies during battle. Can raising the undead to fight for you really be that fun?
We all remember Buzz! Quiz TV. It was our party game of choice on the PS3. With the possibility of Downloadable content (DLC) your questions never get old. If there’s a couple of good things that came out of this years Tokyo Game Show (TGS) Buzz! Quiz World is definitely it. The PS3 game will add 5,000 new questions and will provide an “enhanced” online mode with new game modes. Expect a Wheel of Fortune type of game, where the letters will appear slowly to make out a word.
Back in February, Sony said they would be making an Assassin’s Creed PSP bundle available later this year. It looks like the details for the PSP pack finally emerged today. Here’s what the bundle comes with:
With the PSPgo coming out around the same time, I’m curious to see how well this pack does against simply buying a PSPgo and Assassin’s Creed: Bloodlines separately.
Make sure to check out some screens and a video of Assassin’s Creed: Bloodlines after the break.
Harmonix is a developer that has been working on music games since the early 2000s. Titles like Frequency and Amplitude weren’t as widely known as most other PS2 titles, but they paved the way for Harmonix’s more successful later titles which include the original Guitar Hero I & II, Rock Band, and their upcoming The Beatles: Rock Band.
Rock Band Unplugged is Harmonix’s fray into the handheld gaming market. The art style, graphics, and tunes are reminiscent of a full fledged Rock Band game, but the concern of most gamers were how the controls would work on the PSP. Do music-based games only succeed if you have a plastic guitar in your hand, or could they possibly work with a more traditional control scheme?
Have you ever wished you could pull out your PSP (or soon, PSPgo) and have a number of classic Capcom arcade titles right there without going through the headache of having to modify it in anyway? Starting tomorrow, you can get your Capcom arcade classic fix when Capcom Classic Collection is released on the Playstation Network. The Capcom Classic Collection has a a pretty fair number of good Capcom titles, including Final Fight, Bionic Commando, and Street Fighter (yes, the original!). The title will be made available tomorrow and will be playable on the PSP.
Additionally, Capcom also announced classic PSone titles will be making their way to the PSN. Which titles you may ask? Well, hit the jump and your question will be answered. (hint: a Resident Evil game is one of them)
Earlier this year, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars was released to the Nintendo DS as an experiment to see how well the GTA franchise can do on the #1 selling handheld in the world. We gave the title a perfect score, which is something that is very hard to do nowadays.
As we reported a while back, the sales for the title weren’t as ground-breaking as Rockstar Games would have hoped. With that in mind, Rockstar Games officially announced today that GTA Chinatown Wars will be heading to the PSP this fall, but there’s a definite benefit to this version over the Nintendo DS’.
If you’re a current PSP owner, I’m sure you’ve been asking the same question over and over again. “If I buy the PSP Go, what will happen to all of my old UMD games?” It looks like our unified question has finally been answered.
In an interview with Gizmodo, Director of Hardware Marketing for Sony John Koller states a ‘good-will-program’ will soon be announced to consumers who are thinking of trading up from their current PSP system to the PSP Go.
For the first time on the PSP, a Resident Evil game is being made specifically for the system. Resident Evil Portable is currently in development by Capcom and is expected to be released next year.
Let’s see. Rock Band Unplugged is only a couple of weeks away from being released. If past experiences with any music based game has taught me anything, it’s that we should be given the complete setlist for the game right…about…NOW!
