Remember when entering your initials meant something? PixelJunk does.
Sometimes the old gaming soul just wants something simple that harks back to a time now past. A time when gamers walked through dimly lit arcades, token stuffed pockets jingling and jangling like boot spurs; electric cowboys scrawling their initials into the annals of history one high score at a time. It was a magical time and someone out there must feel the same way because otherwise we wouldn’t have PixelJunk: Sidescroller -- a shooter made for the old school but a game that most will be able to enjoy.
What once made for a great holdover between Tools of Destruction and A Crack in Time is now a side quest that's mostly forgettable.
At this point in time, Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty serves little purpose. The PSN release is an extremely short 2-3 hour experience that served only as a holdover for the (at the time) upcoming release of A Crack in Time. The entire quest is focused around contacting Clank, given the events that concluded Tools of Destruction. As such, he's not available for use and Ratchet is provided with a few nifty tools to get the job done.
While it's not explicitly stated, Ratchet: Deadlocked marks the first spin-off title in the series. Drop in and see what's changed!
I'm not quite certain what Insomniac Games was going for when they created Ratchet: Deadlocked. It's clear that it wasn't meant to be a traditional Ratchet & Clank game, as the experience is something similar, but quite different at the same time. Rather than the typical action-platformer gameplay, Ratchet: Deadlocked is a third person shooter, through and through.
A group of four have forged Starfire Studios to build an "always connected" XBLA game.
Starfire Studios is the latest game studio spawned from ex-Rare employees. A group of four, each with over ten years experience at Rare, have formed the new studio to create a unique XBLA title that fuses a twin-stick shooter to a variety of MMORPG concepts. Despite the split from Rare, a second party of Microsoft, Microsoft Studios is slated to publish the brand new title, Fusion: Genesis later this year.
After months of Xbox 360 exclusivity, Child of Eden has finally made its way to the PlayStation 3. Was the wait worth it?
Child of Eden is not a game that can be easily described—it needs to be experienced. At its core it’s a simple arcade style shooter and the controls couldn’t be easier to pick up, but there is so much more to this game than those simple elements. Child of Eden is a visceral experience in the purest meaning of the word. Simply put, it’s a game you won’t soon forget.
id emerges from hibernation to a FPS landscape that has changed considerably since they ruled the roost. Do they still have what it takes to dominate?
id defined the first person shooter for an entire generation of gamers. From Wolfenstein to Doom to Quake, they pumped out standard setting shooters for years before going quiet after the 2004 release of Doom 3. In the years since, they have worked diligently on an all new IP that slowly morphed into the finished product that we know today as Rage--a game that stays true to the aesthetic and spirit of its predecessors while borrowing a few trappings from more contemporary games. Does it have what it takes to hold its own in a world dominated by the likes of Call of Duty, Halo, and Battlefield? You better believe it does.
