God Of War III Midnight Release – Bronx, NY

Should I have been surprised at the long ass line that formed outside of my local Gamestop here in the Bronx?  Probably not – “God of War III” received so much critical acclaim over the past week and a half, most Gamestop’s automatically opted in taking part in a midnight release for the third and final chapter covering the saga of Kratos.  As a matter of fact, I had seen lines forming from 10:00 PM down in Manhattan long before I made it back to the Bronx tonight.

Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing: Super Sonic Karts

Poor Sonic. He’s had such a bad run of games, and even worse run of racing games, that when “Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing” was announced most gamers just wrote it off as something not even worth trying. After all, “Sonic Drift,” “Sonic R,” and “Sonic Riders” aren’t a stellar line up of predecessors. However, Sega made the wise decision to open up the roster to include characters from outside of the Sonic universe, and that idea alone makes this game better than all the rest, but is that enough to make it a worthy purchase?

PlayStation Move Genius or Lame Copycat? What Will Nintendo Do?

Sony finally pulled the curtain away from their “motion control” solution yesterday and got the gaming public buzzing. Shouts of “Thief!, Copycat!, and Un-Original!” can be heard far and wide. While PlayStation fans tout the features that make their solution ‘better’ than the Nintendo Wii’s. So who is right and who is wrong?

I think it’s a bit more complicated than that. To borrow a line from the recent movie Brooklyn’s Finest, I think it’s a case of “Who’s righter or who’s wronger?” I made a statement to my fellow TrueGameHeadz, “I see why Nintendo is putting out another Mario Galaxy” and it immediately started a passionate discussion about Nintendo being an innovator and trumpeted for their achievements.

Warning: New Brink Trailer May Cause Jaws To Drop

I don’t care how the game turns out, but this video already has my nomination for Trailer of the Year. Aside from the excessive use of face masks (it’s not Slipnot: The Game) everything about this clip looks amazing, from beginning to end. Before I saw this I didn’t care one bit about “Brink,” but now Bethesda, you have my full attention. Impress me.

Might & Magic Clash of Heroes In HD Makes My Day

In a surprising turn of events, the under-the-radar “Might and Magic Clash of Heroes” DS game is being ported for Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network. What? You say you’ve never cared about Might & Magic games? Yeah, me neither, until “Clash of Heroes.” I feel like I don’t really need to explain myself after I state one simple fact: Capy made it. Therefore, it is awesome.

Oily, Messy, Fun – Capcom introduces Ya?l? Güre? to SSF IV!

Seriously, Capcom’s Super Street Fighter IV developers was having a great ol’ time when you take a look at the new Hakan character. Impressions are divided – you either love him or you hate him.  Hakan is, by far, one of the greatest odd balls for Capcom to release onto the general populous in a long time. [Continue Reading]

Mafia II Trailer Puts You In The Shoes Of A Wise Guy

2K has a pretty solid release schedule for this year, and one of the highlights is definitely “Mafia II”. Other games have tried to put you in the roll of a gangster climbing up the ranks of organized crime, but “Mafia II” is looking to do it bigger and better than anything that’s come before it. Just check out the trailer above to see what you can expect when the game comes out later this year.

BIT.TRIP RUNNER Trailer Proves Platforming Is Tons-O-Fun

I don’t know if it’s possible for me to express just how amazing the BIT.TRIP series from Gaijin and Aksys Games is turning out. Four games in, and it’s still a bastion for creativity. Check out the trailer for the next game in the series, “RUNNER” and check out what looks like it’ll be a possibly the best platformer since “Canabalt.” Best of luck getting the high score on this one.

Heavy Rain Review: The Hunt Is On

Lo and behold 2010 is starting with a bang for gamers. Each year we often consider being the best in gaming, but 2010 is looking to raise the bar even further. We’ve just finished up month two (already) and we’ve already gotten at least three titles that would be worthy for game of the year. I’m talking about you; “Mass Effect 2,” “Bioshock 2″ and now “Heavy Rain.”

Quantic Dream is a development house looking to build on its interactive formula developed with last gen’s “Indigo Prophecy” and brings us the well-hyped “Heavy Rain” exclusive to the PS3. Games are growing up kids. This isn’t your regular video game affair. [Continue Reading]
