Storytelling takes the front seat in this new crime drama that despite some flaws, shines above the rest.
There is no game out right now that is exactly like L.A. Noire. From the moment players dip into the crime infested 1940’s Los Angeles, they are greeted with an aura that sets this game apart from most. As a game, L.A. Noire isn’t without its problems, however its gripping narrative, compelling characters, and fantastic animations make it a must play, and one of the best titles to come out this year.
After twelve years, Atlus is finally bringing Persona 2 - Innocent Sin to America via the PSP.
Late last night, Atlus officially announced plans to bring Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 2 - Innocent Sin to America. The game, recently remade for the PSP in Japan, will be translated and brought to America this fall. The original PlayStation game was planned as a two part release, but only the Eternal Punishment half was released in America, though both parts did see release in Japan.
Jason analyzes the recent sale of Harmonix, and what it means for the future of rhythm game sales.
A few months ago, Viacom sold off rhythm game developer Harmonix for a reported amount of fifty dollars. The most shocking aspect of this trade is that Viacom originally bought Harmonix for $175 million. Apparently the trade gives Viacom about $150 million in tax benefits, which is quite a hefty number, itself, but still, it seems like this is a major failure on Viacom's part, which reflects as a failure on the part of Harmonix, itself. A little while later, Activision reported that they will not publish a new Guitar Hero or DJ Hero game in 2011 after disappointing sales of the previous entry, simultaneously halting future DLC for the two franchises. The once-popular music gaming genre appears to have come to a screeching halt after oversaturation and the companies' failure to understand the market.

Lace up your gloves, the latest round of Fight Night throws a solid hook.
I have been an avid fan of the Fight Night series since it was released back on the Xbox seven years ago. Fight Night Champion is the latest in the long running series and it without question lived up to my expectations, acting as a successful follow up to Fight Night Round 4.
Maybe making a sequel to an obscure game from the '80s wasn’t a great idea?
Rush’N Attack: Ex Patriot is the latest in a string of updates/sequels of old Arcade/NES games, some of which have been phenomenal, like Bionic Commando: Rearmed. Unfortunately for Konami, that same success isn’t manifesting in their sequel to Rush’N Attack. This is thanks in large part to some uninspired levels, finicky jump mechanics, and one-dimensional gameplay. The gameplay does occasionally give off a Metroid vibe, but it’s clear the developers didn’t know how to really capitalize on that concept, resulting in a ho-hum experience.
