Xbox 360 | The Adventures of Shuggy Hands-On PDF Print E-mail
Written by Munk   
Wednesday, 10 March 2010 12:04

We sink our teeth into this cute and quirky puzzle platformer that's on its way to Xbox Live Arcade. There's always a certain charm to 2D puzzle platformers because they not only take you back to a time when things were simpler visually, but they also manage to stump you in those environments. The Adventures of Shuggy revolves around Shuggy, a purple vampire with bulgy blue eyes, batlike ears, sharp-looking fangs, and a big black cape. He's also incredibly cute and has a thing for collecting green gems. All we know at this point is that he inherited a fixer-upper mansion from his uncle, and upon arriving at it, he realizes that there are a lot of things that need fixing.

PlayStation 3 | Sports Champions Hands-On PDF Print E-mail

We put the PlayStation Move through its paces in Sports Champions' Gladiator Duel mode. Sony officially unveiled the PlayStation Move at an event in San Francisco this afternoon, and when the presentation was over, those of us in attendance were invited to check out some of the Move-compatible games. One of those games was Sony's answer to Nintendo's Wii Sports, which currently goes by the working title Sports Champions. It's not yet clear how many different sports will be featured in the game, but those that we know about include golf, archery, bocce ball, table tennis, beach volleyball, and gladiator duel. That last one doesn't necessarily seem like it belongs given that gladiators of this sort haven't been thought of as sportsmen in some time. Regardless, gladiator duel was the sport being shown, and we wasted no time entering the arena armed with a Move controller in each hand.

PlayStation 3 | TV SuperStars Hands-On PDF Print E-mail

We grab a PlayStation Move and hit it big on reality television. Tonight, Sony officially lifted the curtain on its PlayStation Move motion controller, and in doing so, it also lifted the curtain on a number of party games that will arrive in conjunction with the new peripheral. Aside from the new SOCOM, and a game in which you slug your way through back-alley brawls, most of these games seemed to be focused on a colorful, casual experience that the whole family would enjoy (provided grandma isn't the street-fighting type). Among these was TV SuperStars, a game in which you scan your face with the EyeToy to become a reality TV show contestant.

PlayStation 3 | Motion Fighters Fists-on PDF Print E-mail

We take the PlayStation Move to the streets for a vigorous round of motion-controlled brawling. Earlier today at the 2010 Game Developers Conference, Sony announced the official name for its much-heralded motion controller: the PlayStation Move. Along with the announcement came a number of demos, which members of the press were able to play immediately following the presentation. One of these demos was Motion Fighters (working title), a one-on-one fighting game featuring two gritty-looking street brawlers. In the interest of science (the not-so-sweet kind), we grabbed two Moves and started swinging. Here's how it played out.

PlayStation 3 | Move Party! Hands-On PDF Print E-mail

We learned how to cut hair, collect chicks and swat flies in PlayStation Move's first party game. As sure as night follows day, Sony was bound to announce a party game for its new PlayStation Move controller. Move Party is that title, and it consists of a series of minigames that can be played by up to four players. They're the sort of games that you'd expect to see in an EyeToy title, but when you're playing with the PlayStation Move, the controls feel much more accurate than with the camera alone.

PlayStation 3 | SOCOM 4 Hands-On PDF Print E-mail

We grab the PlayStation Move and its sub-controller to shoot down soldiers in the slums level of Zipper Interactive's upcoming action game. Sony's PlayStation Move launch at GDC 2010 wasn't all about family fun and minigame compilations. There was a surprise announcement that core gamers wouldn't be ignored thanks to the inclusion of Move support in the recently announced SOCOM 4. We grabbed our Move and hunkered down behind enemy lines to see just how motion controls would be incorporated into this upcoming shooter.

PlayStation 3 | The Shoot Hands-On PDF Print E-mail
Written by Munk

Robots (and some civilians) get shot as we try the movie-themed PlayStation Move shooter. It’s not too surprising that one of the first games Sony is showing off for the PlayStation Move is a rail shooter. But if visions of a run-of-the-mill forced march through a set path with enemies popping up at random times bore you to tears, you should know that The Shoot is actually pretty clever. The game takes the standard rail shooter archetype and dresses it up with a bit of story and interesting gameplay.

DS | Drift Street International Hands-On PDF Print E-mail

We get up to ridiculous speeds in our first hands-on with this DSiWare racing exclusive. Aussie dev studio Tantalus may have found the most success so far with its Pony Friends game, but it's focusing on horsepower of a different kind with its latest title, the DSiWare-exclusive Drift Street International. As its name implies, the game is an arcade racer with a heavy emphasis on drifting, and it left us with a positive Ridge Racer vibe during our first hands-on at GDC 2010.

Xbox 360 | Splinter Cell: Conviction Last Stand Mode Hands-On PDF Print E-mail
Written by Munk   
Wednesday, 10 March 2010 21:02
We face off against endless waves of terrorists and learn a thing or two about stealth in Conviction's new multiplayer mode. While we've already seen what the first 20 minutes of Sam Fisher's latest adventure has to offer, publisher Ubisoft has kept many of the new multiplayer modes away from our grubby little mitts. One such mode is Last Stand, which is Conviction's take on the endless-wave gameplay featured in Gears of War 2's Horde mode and Halo: ODST's Firefight mode. We spent some time with the new mode to see if it shares the same addictive quality as its forebears.

Xbox 360 | Perfect Dark Hands-On PDF Print E-mail
Written by Munk

We took a trip down memory lane with the Xbox Live Arcade port of Rare's classic shooter. Few games are as fondly remembered as Rare's GoldenEye 007, which was one of the Nintendo 64's most critically acclaimed games. Though it may be high on the nostalgia list for many, Microsoft's purchase of Rare in 2002 and licensing issues have so far prevented the game from making the transition to the current generation of consoles. Fortunately, its unofficial sequel Perfect Dark isn't tied to a licence, and 4J Studios has been hard at work updating the game for release on Xbox Live Arcade. We spent some time with the game at Microsoft's European headquarters in Reading where we discovered that Perfect Dark and GoldenEye fans have plenty to look forward to with this new version.
