Posted On: 18 February 2010 - 05:12 PM |  Darksiders
I saw that a Demo is due to hit around 2/25 for Darksiders. I hear it's a cool game, and being able to drop 90 minutes into the first dungeon is a tight way to see if it's for me. 
This game is on 360 and PS3. I grabbed it for PS3 and am playing that version.
Quote If you or anyone you know is still on the fence about Darksiders, a demo is coming out on February 25. It's going to feature the first dungeon, Twilight Cathedral, in full, which is about 90 minutes of gameplay to get a real taste of what Darksiders is like and face off against these big, bad uglies...
Even Cooler, is you can get RF:G for $5 bucks, if you Buy Darksiders before March 7th. I might bite before the demo. Damn you nice deals!
For the Promo, you need to send in your NEW game reciept and the actual barcode from the game. They mention used copies will not count, so spend that extra few bucks. Amazon also has the game for $40, but I wasn't going to mess around with hoping they don't go out of stock and I'd miss the Promo.
Rolt also equipped for the weekend.  Looks like Jolt is still getting product out, thank the Godz!
Pressure has been met, I got a copy along with some food on the way home from work. Filling out my mail-in form now.  |

Posted On: 16 February 2010 - 05:42 PM | Uncharted - Drake's Fortune
I have been picking away @ some PS3 games and Uncharted - Drake's Fortune is my 1st to GG. If I had to describe the gameplay, the sub-title of Tomb Raider with a focus on shooting rivals would be it. I got 11-12 hours of play from this game and since I scored it for under $30, I cannot complain about the play time. For $60, I'd want to get around 15 or so hours out of it, as with most other titles in that price range.
Story wise, the cut scenes were pretty awesome and kept the story interesting and fun. The loading and interface / level flow were awesome, as the lack of load screens and smooth progression was solid.
Controls were tight, and the only minor con was the tilt use for grenade angling. Short of that, the controller buttons are well mapped and share shooting controls with many other PS3 games (L1 to Aim, R1 to Shoot).
To conclude, if you miss some Tomb Raider-like action (from the earlier, awesome titles) mixed up with some mass shooting and a bit of puzzle play, Uncharted will do you right. If there was anything I would have liked to see more of, was the puzzle play. |

Posted On: 09 February 2010 - 09:03 AM | Magic the Gathering Duels of the Planeswalkers
Greets to the AM and Hola. I recently picked up MtG: Duels of the Planeswalkers on Xbox 360. I believe the PS3 version will be out sometime around fall or so, as well as the PC version in the summer.
If you are anything like me, you may have feared a forced DLC per card system, but rest easy, as you unlock new decks and cards from Single Player battles. I am going to play some MP with J0k3r and Fn0rd this week, as they also rock this game, admittedly much harder than I have.
If I were to sum up the play, it's like being able to play the card game, without worrying about last turn and the table space needed to throw down. Color-coated borders help with indications of what instants you have enough mana for, and so on.
For Magic nubs or mad rusty folks, the tutorial will get you up to snuff with courtesy. So don't fear it. Before I thought Culdcept saga would fill the gap of old-time magic, but once playing this again, I was reminded that Magic is more choice than luck based, as be the case in Culdcept Saga. Both are excellent games, just different.
Finally, there are some DLC Items and they come in the form of expansion packs:
Expansion Pack 1:
Quote The legendary dragon Planeswalker Nicol Bolas has come out of hiding and now he’s more powerful than ever! This expansion pack features new cards and new decks to add to your arsenal. Now you can wield the power of Tezzeret’s “Relics of Doom” deck, unlock three new cards for each of the eight original decks, or defeat the new single-player campaign to unlock Jace Beleren’s “Mind of the Void” and Sarkhan Vol’s “Cries of Rage” decks. This expansion pack also contains four new Two-Headed Giant co-op levels as well as three new puzzling challenge levels to test your Magic skills.
This pack is 400 MS Points, and has a Free Multiplayer download, to play with non-DLC owning friends.
Besides that pack, you have persona unlocks (new personal avatars ingame) and a bunch of themes. I have yet to get the Expansion, as I only took a couple of doods out in SP. I am prolly gonna try to make some progress tonight, if I don't see anyone on, playing Magic.  |

Posted On: 08 February 2010 - 09:24 AM | Chrono Trigger
Man, I was told Chrono Trigger is good, but after having 2:30hr and Level 8 on my characters, I have decided this game is more on the Holy Fuckin Awesome scale of things.
Controls are all classic, unless you want to use the touch screen for menus and such. Battle has a similar timer as FFVII, and you can use Tech Moves to combo attack foes or buff your party. I continued beyond the prologue Sunday and was instantly a fan of the play within.
For example, I can get health back thanks to . Combat may be avoided, so long as you can avoid running into the mob sprites. This beats the hell out of /random encounters.
So yeah. I got this for Kat awhile ago, then I gave it a go. Once you get your party to 3 heads and start getting into some battle, I think most would agree @ the smooth move, that is Chrono Trigger. This is the new primary DS cart in my system. |
