Review - Prince of Persia Classic (Xbox 360)

Developer: Gameloft
Publisher: Ubisoft
Year: 2007
Fun fact: available as a download through Xbox Live Arcade
I have an admission: I have not played the original Prince of Persia, at least not past the first couple of levels.  I just couldn’t get past those awkward controls and unforgiving animations.  It frustrated me to no end that the Prince can’t jump in [...]

When One Hero Kills Another…Presenting the Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts trailer!

There you have it, folks! The first teaser for Banjo Kazooie 3 (Or Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts). It seems as if the game will nearly entirely revolve around vehicles - building them and using them. The style looks as good in motion as it did in the leaked screens. However, Nintendo fans are up [...]

First Banjo Kazooie 3 screens are leaked

The first two alleged screen shots for the upcoming Banjo Kazooie 3 are making their rounds around the internet today. They mark the most recently released media for the game since the original teaser trailer back in 2006 (unless you count the less than stellar site update earlier this year).  Both screens show Banjo piloting [...]

Some details on new Crash Bandicoot: Mind Over Mutant

I have not played a Crah Bandicoot game since his third venture on the Playstation 1. I felt the soul of the series was lost once it made the move away from it’s on-rails approach that made the game simple but yet unique in the platforming genre.
Maybe that will change in the upcoming game “Crash [...]

UK’s Nintendo Power Sonic Unleashed preview is scanned for your eyes

In the latest edition of the UK Nintendo Power Magazine they included a massive 8-page preview of Sonic Unleshed (for the Wii version obviously). They talk about gameplay, provide screenshots, and have an interview with the games lead designer, Yoshihisa Hashimoto. Probably the most interesting of all is the discussion about “Were-Sonic” as the magazine [...]

Werewolf Sonic confirmed in new teaser trailer for Sonic Unleashed

For those that were skeptical on a Werewolf Sonic even existing (there was only one screen of it after all) Sega has just confirmed it by releasing this new trailer which shows Sonic tossing around a ring and then slapping it back down with a “werewolf” type arm after a transformation (which goes along with [...]

‘Sonic Unleashed’ is officially confirmed by Sega with new ‘DEBUT TRAILER’!

Sega finally announced Sonic Unleashed from Team Sonic. The game will be released on Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Playstation 2 and Wii late this year. Seems like Sega is going for the multi-platform approach instead of Wii exclusivity like with ‘Secret Rings’ (which was a good game in my opinion). Sonic Unleashed is built on [...]
