Sorcery Story Trailer – Finally, a Reason to Buy PlayStation Move

Posted on April 18, 2012 by Jasmine Henry

Back in 2010, when I reviewed the PlayStation Move launch bundle, most of us expected it to be this grand, ground-breaking piece of tech that we would need rather than want for our PS3s.

It’s plain for anyone to see that that never really happened. For all of the protesting that PlayStation brand’s official hype man, Kevin Butler, did about ‘GAMING NEEDS BUTTONS!!!’, it never flourished and rather floundered into an embarrassing piece of really good gadgetry that few wanted and even fewer cared about.

Sorcery, is the PlayStation move game that is set to change all that. As the young male sorcerer, Finn, you are enticed by your sneaky feline nemesis and friend entices you into unleashing a world of mythical baddies upon the magical society that you live in. Your job, as the protagonist of Sorcery, is to fling about powerful spells to uncover ancient knowledge, save the townspeople and take on a range of exciting and adventurous quests.

Unlike most games that use PlayStation Move as a wedged in, back-of-the-box gimmick, Sorcery is made for PlayStation Move, meaning that if there ever was a time to get in on the motion control madness, that time is now.

Ridge Racer Unbounded Gameplay Trailer Urges You to ‘Make Some Noise’

Posted on March 30, 2012 by Jasmine Henry

A good sound atmosphere is to a driving game what wheels are to a car – that goes to say that the noises that a developer have chosen to cause havoc in your ear drums are pretty, damn important.

The last time we got a sneak peek at some Ridge Racer Unbounded gameplay was a few days ago when Namco Bandai released a trailer of what it would be like to have a play around in Ridge Racer Unbounded’s city creator mode. JSX staff writer Myles and I were very impressed, in a jaw-creating-dents-in-the-pavement sort of way, so it’s nice for our ears to get a pick me up with this new video that focuses on the sound guys of Ridge Racer Unbounded.

After all, after the driving, the sounds that coincide with your racing can make or break a racing game. There’s nothing more annoying that cheesy teenybop music pounding round your head when you’re careering round a corner or into the side of an AI-controlled car.

Silent Hill HD Collection Broken on PS3, Patch on the way

Posted on March 21, 2012 by Myles

UPDATE: Konami has reported that the patch should be up soon and that the EU PS3 version does not have any of the issues that the North American version has before the patch.

Reports are coming in that while Silent Hill HD Collection is a great purchase and port for the Xbox 360, the PS3 version is absolutely terrible in comparison. However, there is a patch on the way to sort out all of these problems that should be released soon Konami reported earlier today.

As shown in this video, you’re unable to correctly run properly in Silent Hill 2 without stopping constantly. This, along with the lack of numerous effects in both Silent Hill 2 and 3, horrible frame rate later in the game pushes Silent Hill HD Collection to be a completely different horrifying experience than intended. However, the recent patch on the way is set to fix all of the problems that existed on the PS3 version along with the audio problems that also existed on the 360 version.

Amazon.fr Lists Call of Duty 9 + the 1st Details From the Game

Posted on February 28, 2012 by Jasmine Henry

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, there’s nothing more I love than Amazon errors.

There was of course, the time that I reported that The Last Guardian release date had been leaked on the site and never one to disappoint, the French version of the retailing site, amazon.fr, has upped the ante, this time with a listing for Call of Duty 9.

Last week, gameblog.fr posted the original screencap of the Call of Duty Black Ops 2 listing and were consequently blacklisted by Activision for it, amazon.fr did delete the listing but they’ve posted another, related one and JSX has the picture. Not only that, but I’ve uncovered the very first details of Call of Duty 9 and its possible storyline.

5 Reasons It Pays NOT to be an Early Adopter of the PS Vita

Posted on February 22, 2012 by Jasmine Henry

Like the shadiest of ‘doctors’ in the uncleanliest of back streets, this week, I’ve been trying to hawk vital organs on the Internet (only my own, I can assure you).

On Twitter I proclaimed ‘who wants a lung? I’ll even give away a kidney, for a price!’ and such, multiple times, hoping, begging and pleading that someone with a screw loose would take a body part in exchange for money – money I wanted, no, needed, to spend on a PS Vita – which comes out today.

For the most part, I was joking (though I did come very close to offering plasma up on eBay), I’ve become so convinced that I need a PS Vita that I probably would have (and maybe still will) do anything to get my hands on that delicious, powerful, slice of handheld gaming heaven.

It may, perhaps, come as a massive shock to you that I am now providing you with a handful of reasons why you shouldn’t invest in Sony’s latest gizmo.

New FIFA Street Trailer Teaches You How to Panna, Embarrass Opponents

Posted on February 21, 2012 by Jasmine Henry

FIFA Street is probably one of the only games where a prerequisite for winning is to make a complete and utter fool out of your opponents – the old fashioned ‘dribble like a baby, kick like a beast’ method won’t work. If you can’t embarrass them, you’ll have a serious challenge on your hands if you want to win, like climbing a giant slippery slope of football terms and sports-based acrobatics.

This latest video for the game is the key to learning how to succeed, providing you with the must-know tips to scoring more goals in FIFA Street.

MLB 12 : The Show First Look Trailer

Posted on January 26, 2012 by Jasmine Henry

As far as first looks go, this one is at the premier end of the scale. In fact, I’d even go as far as to say that this new trailer for MLB 12 : The Show takes the scale, destroys it, thwacks what’s left with its baseball bat and then pitches the remnants into the stands for good measure.

In true trailer fashion, it boasts “enhanced realism”, but that really didn’t need to be stated as our first taste of in-game footage looks (and even feels) incredible. (Apparently the game also has “full PlayStation move controls” too, which isn’t necessarily something to be proud of so you know, yin and yang).

It’s not the “#1 Rated Sports Game” for nothing.

PS4 and Xbox 720 to be Revealed at E3, Everything they Should and Shouldn’t Do

Posted on January 6, 2012 by Jasmine Henry

This post comes fresh off the news that Sony and Microsoft will be announcing the successors to the current gen of consoles at this year’s E3 in an effort to compete with Nintendo’s next console effort, the Wii U (source).

I’m a skeptical woman, both consoles are rumoured, even if they do come from a highly reputable source, but I’ll still refuse to believe either console’s’ existence until I have the actual, tangible product in my arms and the reality has set in that I now have no money or a social life thanks to them.

However, one can cross all of their fingers, toes and other crossable body parts that come June 2012, both will be confirmed by the Microsoft and Sony bigwigs themselves but until then I’ve put together a list of all of the things we should hope are included (or avoided) in the new next-gen platforms.
