If you liked the battle scenes in Braveheart, you will absolutely love Bladestorm, the newest release from KOEI, maker of the Dynasty Warrior series.
You get to take on the role of a mercenary who can choose whichever side will pay you the most. Set in the Hundred Years War, you can opt for the English or the French, depending on your particular allegiance in any given skirmish. (more…)

Take a trip to inner space. Blast Factor puts you into a Petri dish of organisms that might well be in your bloodstream, dangerous enough that you wouldn’t want to know about them. Your vessel is a microscopic ship injected into different media rife with bacteria and viruses attacking as you try to cure the “organism” of its maladies. A series of seven cells present themselves and you must clean up each of the several screens in each cell. (more…)

I bought Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune after hearing a friend who had just bought it raving about it. Now I am raving about it myself. Let me tell you why.
The graphics in this game are fantastic. The PS3 shines in all it’s splendour with the graphics of this game. The way the shadows are exact and the way the characters mouth the dialogues so that you can almost lip read, is fantastic. I love the way the graphics have been done with so much attention to detail.

It’s been three years since we’ve seen an All-Pro Football release and all of the great features of that game are incorporated in All Pro Football 2K8.
What makes this a bit more fun is the nostalgia aspect of having so many now-retired players in all of their idiosyncratic glory here. Jerry Rice’s upright running style is immediately recognizable as is Mike Ditka’s bulldozer-like moves after a reception. (more…)

When you take a classic story that was itself adapted into a Hollywood action epic with A-List stars as prototypes, you run the risk of being unable to fulfill expectations. Beowulf is no exception here as the story line gets short shrift with an overemphasis on gore and unending battle sequences that borders on the ridiculous. Of course, this is just what sells this type of game so we shouldn’t be surprised. (more…)

The Bigs is a welcome addition to the arcade games we have seen in the past like Street and Blitz. Not a sim game, The Bigs features a Rookie Challenge where you can create a player who learns skills and increases his ability to compete with the best.
With a turbo boost that increases power by up to five times normal, home runs show a trail of light or fire as they exit the park, making them an exciting part of this game. (more…)

Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction is one of the best to hit the PS3 ever. Correction, it is one of the best to hit any video game console. I think this will be a landmark historic game to change the whole standard of what is considered to be an excellent game. You can’t get closer to playing a Pixar movie as a game.
Lets start with the graphics. “Amazing” was definitely coined for graphics such as these. I never new my PS3 was this cool! It looks great on an HDTV that is capable of 720p or higher as well. Colorful.

If you flip over WW2 like I do you might like this game. Blazing Angels is the first flying game for the PS3. The PS3′s sixaxis controller works well for flying your plane. You get to go on historic battle missions. The graphics are pretty good as well.
This game has a lot of bombing and dogfights. After a short training period as an American pilot flying for the British you are sent on a mission to protect Dunkirk. After this you go through a number of missions.

If you have liked war movies like Platoon, perhaps you will like Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire. It is full of rocket launchers, beam sabers and machine guns – lots of action. Unfortunately, although this game is a great idea, the seed of that idea has not been watered properly. I have played many games that are far more creative.
The theme of this game lacks imagination. There is a lot of shooting. You get to shoot helicopters, tanks and other stuff. Do it till you are fed up of it. Although there are varied modes in the crossfire play, you end up playing the same game, with little variety offered to the gamers mind. Like I said earlier, if you like shooting, shooting and more shooting, then this is the game for you. Otherwise this is a good way to get bored and nothing more.

DEF Jam Icon scores over the first releases of this game because it is more realistic. The idea of a rapping wrestling match did not go down so well with a large section of the audience. Although the game created a bit of a stir in the gaming world, the new game is better since most of the characters are based on todays top rappers.
The background on which the game is framed (so to speak) is enticing. The graphics are great and lead you virtually to the real world of rap artists. Each artist has his/her own phrases, derived from their songs. The beginning of the game is as a person seeking their identity, combing the streets looking to build your label. I think this game will be well accepted by older teens, but it is a little ‘far out’ for the older generation.

If you have heard the song Country Grammar by the rapper Nelly, this game is going to evoke nostalgia. It is like the song has transformed into a game for the gamers pleasure. Stick moves are similar to the classic Smash TV from the 1990′s. Here you use the right stick to shoot and the left stick to move.
The storyline goes thus – aliens have been lying in wait for us through the TV shows of the seventies and eighties. You have been kidnapped by them and are forced to fight for thier entertainment. It is not at all difficult to fight the bad guys here since they follow certain patterns of movement. These can be learnt and the bad guys can be defeated quite easily.

Giant Robots and controlling them have long been a fantasy with young teeny boppers. Armored Core 4 has been made with them in mind. In this game you build huge towering robots and then get to control them in combat.
The new Armored Core aims to bring forward the excitement of the series with a few changes. It is less customizable. The positive of this is that novices can get right into the game quickly. The game is fast and flows at a furious pace.

If you are a WW2 freak and have enjoyed movies like “Guns of Navarone” then “Resistance: Fall Of Man” is the kind of PS3 entertainment for you. This game is made for guys who like to fight horrific enemies – the kind popularized by Doom. Also, it offers online multiplayer gameplay.Add comment November 6th, 2007
The Untold Legends series was originally for the Playstation Portable, but when Sony Online Entertainment needed a dungeon-bash for the launch of the Playstation 3, it was this series that got the call. The result is Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom. It’s a solid enough title but disappointing if compared to something like Elder Scrolls: Oblivion.
Dark Kingdom doesn’t really do much that’s offensive, it just looks like it was slapped together on a weekend by a committee trawling through five-year-old fantasy RPGs and nicking bits. Almost every aspect is more limited than in most recent games in this genre, and more limited than a couple of really old games like Diablo.

Raven Software’s Marvel Ultimate Alliance is the first RPG for the Playstation 3. Raven has a solid pedigree from its two X-Men games, and this is much the same style of game-play and graphics. If you liked them, you’ll like this.

Basketball lovers are in for a treat with the PS3 version of NBA 07. The graphics and details will please many game players. The game flows well. A Considerable change from the PS NBA games of the past is that in this version you take a shot by pushing the circle button. This one change makes a significant difference in the overall play of the game.

The Sony PS3 is the most popular toy on the market right now. A lot of people are searching for them to purchase as a Christmas gift. Most retail stores around the USA only received a handful of PS3s. People were reported arriving outside these stores the night before to get their hands on one. Some stores decided to give each person who showed up the day they were released a ticket. Then they drew numbers. Those with the lucky tickets had the priveledge of purchasing the Playstation 3 system.
