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.

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]

If you still need convincing, just check out the trailer above… there, now that should do it. GO DOWNLOAD IT NOW.

Proof! Se7en can be an Interactive Movie like Heavy Rain

Quantic Dream’s Heavy Rain isn’t even a month old and it’s inspiring loads of chatter from the internet. Usually with chatter comes creativity. This youtube contributor (LBQ2TS) is taking Machinima to the next level. Going back to David Fincher’s brilliant Se7en (1995) staring Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, and Kevin Spacey and seeing how it would play out with Heavy Rain like controls. Does this open the door to bringing back full fledged interactive movies a la Sega CD’s “Night Trap”? But now that we have stronger systems, they can be more sophisticated like Heavy Rain. Watch this and see if it doesn’t start the mind spinning.

Aliens Vs. Predator Review: Commence Intergalactic War

Taking two classic science fiction action movies and mashing them together into one co-existing world is a daunting task, no matter what source material you’re dealing with. But, it’s particularly challenging when the overall concept is something that has been happening, at least in the imaginations of fans, for the last twenty or so years, and that’s exactly has been happening with the Alien and Predator franchises. Sure, they’ve had a few movies made about them together, but Sega’s “Aliens vs Predator” is the first time the two warring factions have ever made it into the hands of console gamers. That alone should raise a few eyebrows, but when you add into the mix the fact that the game offers players the ability to play as all three species; Xenomoprh, Predator, and Human, it should do a little more than just raise eyebrows.

Dante’s Inferno Review: To Hell And Back

Hell is a place that many different mediums have explored; movies, television, and comic books frequently venture to Catholicism’s home of eternal damnation. However, it’s a rich setting that hasn’t really been fully explored in video games, until now. Based on the classic poem by Dante Alighieri, “Dante’s Inferno” (the game) from EA, gives gamers the opportunity to step into the role of Dante as he journeys to the deepest sanctum of Lucifer to save his beloved. To steal a line from the marketing material, gamers can finally go to Hell. [Continue Reading]
