What's happening gamers and gamerettes? Square-Enix has released a trailer today of Final Fantasy III for the PSP. I have to ask them, "isn't it a little late?" Oh whatever. But still, it is about time that this game was on the PSP, when it should have been in the first place instead of the Nintendo DS. I hope this game comes here sometime soon. The game will be released in Japan on September 20, 2012.

What's happening gamers? Today's game review for my 26th birthday is God of War: Ghost of Sparta, developed by Ready At Dawn and SCE Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. The game was originally released on the PlayStation Portable on November 2, 2010 and re-released as part of the God of War Origins Collection on September 13, 2011. God of War: Ghost of Sparta is the sixth installment in the series and takes place between God of War and God of War II, thus serving as an interquel. The game also takes place after the mobile game God of War: Betrayal. Now this is the second game in the series to be released on the PSP, preceded by God of War: Chains of Olympus, a game which served as a prequel to the other five titles. I actually liked this game a lot more than Chains of Olympus, the more you know about Kratos and his dark past, the more you love this game series. Loosely based on Greek Mythology, God of War: Ghost of Sparta is chronologically the fourth chapter in the series, and forms the part of a saga in which vengeance is the central theme to the game. The game focuses more on protagonist Kratos, now the new God of War, still haunted by the visions of his dark past, in which the gods continue to refuse to remove them from his mind. In this game Kratos visits the long lost city of Atlantis, which is ruled by the God of the Seas, Poseidon. Plot. After defeating Ares, Kratos has become the new God of War. But shunned by his fellow gods who refused to remove the nightmares of his past, goes to explore the lost city of Temple of Poseidon in the lost city of Atlantis - against Athena's advice - to learn more of his past. Despite Poseidon's best efforts to stop him, even by sending the monster Scylla, Kratos manages to enter the temple. There he encounters his ailing mother, who tells him who his father is and the truth about his younger brother Deimos. This game also tells the flashbacks of Kratos childhood and his brother Deimos, and also how an oracle predicted the destruction of Olympus would come by the hands of a marked warrior. What's happening everyone? Today's game review is none other than the legendary game Altered Beast. This game is set in the time of Greek mythology, and you play as a centurion on a mission commanded by Zeus to rescue his daughter Athena. The setting of ancient Greece in the game is very interesting and it was long before Kratos from the God of War series ever existed. I highly remember this game as a child, and never played the Arcade version, but I grew up with the Sega Genesis version. Originally released in Japan on November 27, 1988, the game arrived in the United States on August 14, 1988 and later on November 30, 1990 in Europe. My older brother introduced this game to me when he had his Sega Genesis. However, this is one of the most hardest games ever created by Sega. This game is gonna challenge your gaming skills, make you cry, piss you off, break your controllers and even leave you partially insane with rant in the AVGN style. Now before this is said and done, I will teach you how to tame the monster that is Altered Beast once and for all. Plot. A Roman centurion who died in battle is resurrected from the dead by the Greek god Zeus, and his orders are given, to save his daughter Athena from the evil Demon God Neff in the Underworld. To be able to withstand the perils of his adventure, the warrior gets the ability to absorb spirit balls which transform him into the Altered Beast, a part animal, part human creature of formidable force. What's happening guys? Well, today I was on my PS3 and took a peek at more trailers from E3. Most games look incredibly awesome, but Call of Duty gets more and more annoying I can't stand it. Now this game, Devil May Cry may look pretty good with all the action, storyline and all. But we cannot judge it just yet, the only thing right now I hate about this game is how Dante was made. He looks like a black haired Justin Bieber with makeup and everything. That's right now the only thing I hate about the new Dante. Capcom was a loser this year, but Resident Evil 6 is what kept it going. Capcom this year had no respect on E3, but the respect started to fall since last year with the cancellation of Mega Man Legends 3, then a few months later trying to make Resident Evil like "Call of Duty" for the American market. This game is coming out on January 15, 2013.
God Bless and Play Hard Gamers! Ubisoft this year on its part has new games such as Just Dance 4. Just Dance 4 is the fourth installment of the Just Dance series of dancing games. This game will be released in the United States on the Wii, PlayStation 3 (for PlayStation Move) and on the Xbox 360 (for Kinect) on October 4 in Europe and five days later in North America. There will also be a version of the game for the upcoming Wii U console, which will be released during its “launch window.” 12 songs have been confirmed and the final game will feature 40 songs. It has songs performed by current and retro artists such as Barry White, Will Smith, The B-52’s, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Christina Aguilera, and so on. This year, Sony has revealed so many new games and many awaited ones such as PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. The E3 trailer for Battle Royale has confirmed two new rosters, Nathan Drake of the Uncharted series, and Big Daddy of the BioShock series. This game can be played up to four players in the similar fashion to Nintendo’s hit fighting game, Super Smash Bros. I actually hope that was the game is being developed, more characters come. And probably in the future when it is released, new fighters will also come in DLC. I actually hope that Solid Snake, Raiden, and even Cloud Strife make it in the game. We shall see what happens soon enough before or after the game is released. Sony PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale may be released sometime in the third or fourth quarter of 2012. Also, Sony will also have games made by EA and Ubisoft such as Assassin’s Creed III, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Madden 2K13, Dead Space 3, Medal of Honor: Warfighter and more. Quantic Dream, developer of one of my most favorite games of all time, Heavy Rain, will make a follow-up to the game called Beyond, which is written and directed by the very same David Cage who brought you Heavy Rain. This game stars Academy Award nominee Ellen Page as Jody Holmes, a girl with a telekinetic power with a connection to the afterlife. According to Mr. Cage he said the following “It will be emotional, mature and unique, but also epic, unique and spectacular. We want to create unique moments that players will remember for a long time." I’m actually impressed that this Mii Channel of the Wii U is where you join people you’ve met worldwide and newcomers. In this new type of Mii Channel on the Wii U, you gather with many others and you can communicate and not just congregate. First comes in form of speech bubbles, you can use stylist to draw words and illustrations and you can send text message to your friends. Of course, you can express facial expressions that reflect your current state of mind. When MiiVerse is integrated, new things happen. Everytime a new home console is announced, there are always feedback. Not to mention, that Nintendo is not the same without Mario. Today’s new son E3 is about Nintendo. Nintendo this year has been promoting their new technological device, the Wii U, to make the gaming experience far more exciting than it used to be. Six years have passed since the release of the Nintendo Wii which successfully sold millions and millions of copies worldwide. However, in the previous years it was losing its popularity but at least it made a comeback last year with games such as The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Epic Mickey, and also with the 3DS games such as Star Fox 64 3D, The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, Mario Land and more. The main feature of the Nintendo Wii U is a built-in touchscreen, which either supplements or replicates the gameplay displayed at the television screen, and even functioning as a standalone without having to use the television at all. This controller shares some of the characteristics of the Nintendo 3DS such as an accelerometer, gyroscope, camera, dual analog sticks, as well as a built-in microphone and resistive touchscreen. On the Sony Press Conference at E3 today, a live demo of the upcoming God of War game, God of War: Ascension, gave us a look at the single player experience that featured Kratos' new combat stylings, which looks to be faster, typically violent, and filled with experience orbs like in the previous installments of the franchise. Kratos can now manipulate the environment to create platforms from wreckage, pick up weapons from either the backs of corpses or the ground, and also rewind time. Once again David Jaffe has my ultimate and utmost respect for the creation of such a compelling, violent, and amazing game franchise that actually defines one of my many aspects as a gamer. God of War: Ascension will be released on March 12, 2013 on the PlayStation 3. For the wrap up of the PlayStation Press Conference on E3, the upcoming post-apocalypse game The Last of Us stole the whole show. In this game you take the role of Joel, who is accompanied by a teenage girl named Ellie. You are in a post apocalyptic world where humanity has been almost completely decimated due to a modern day plague. You fight for survival as you encounter many dangers and deranged survivalists hunting for food, weapons, and more. I truly liked the gameplay debut of this game. This game is being developed by the same company that brought you the Uncharted saga, Naughty Dog. For today, this concludes my news articles of E3. Tomorrow, more details of upcoming games from EA, and more will come. God Bless and Play Hard Gamers! Assassin's Creed III at the PS3 Press Conference today at E3 was confirmed by Sony to have a bundle available on October 30th, on that same day that AC3 hits the store shelves on your local GameStop, Best Buy and more. This bundle will include a copy of the game, a PS3 system and an exclusive DLC. Ubisoft has also revealed that Assassin's Creed III will feature boat-based navigation and naval warfare, something we could have seen in previous titles such as Brotherhood and Revelations. The game's hero, Connor will be given full control of a ship, which will not only be used for navigation, but for battles as well. During the on-stage demo, Sony's E3 press conference, Connor engaged another vessel, cannons roaring and bright red embers floating through the stormy air as his enemies were destroyed. Grids allows players to determine cannonball trajectories during the battle as well. |
