Now available on PSN, Puzzle Dimension is still delivering the same great puzzle experience found on PC and Mac last year.
Rather than provide an entirely redundant review on Puzzle Dimension's PSN release, I'll be using this space to explain any differences in its latest incarnation. For a full description of the game, you are encouraged to check out our original review.
Maybe Phineas and Ferb can use their immeasurable genius to fix this blasé game.
Sometimes you play a game and can't help but be disappointed that it isn't something more. Phineas & Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension is such a game. Built on an engine that provides solid visuals and controls, Phineas and Ferb has the groundwork for a great game. Unfortunately, it quickly falls into a rut wherein each level in the game feels similar to the last, so much so that set pieces from levels are practically recycled. While I truly wanted to enjoy the game thanks to its solid footing, it quickly became sleep-inducing when it failed to evolve.
After some mix-up, Namco's PR has officially confirmed the details.
Last week, it came to fruition that Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions didn't seem to feature the ability to remove the saved data on the cart. This news came hot on the heels of the announcement from Capcom that Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D didn't allow users to delete their progress after starting. Today, Namco has cleared up the confusion, announcing the method in which players must delete the progress on their game card.
One stand-out title buoys this collection of rehashes and spin-offs.
While Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions is a brand new game, it’s comprised mostly of existing titles. Both the original Pac-Man and Galaga make their appearance alongside their modern revivals, Pac-Man Championship Edition and Galaga Legions. Exclusive to the collection are two brand new games, Pac-Man Tilt and Galaga 3D Impact. Though 3D Impact offers a neat AR experience, its inclusion is mostly forgettable, leaving Pac-Man Tilt to carry the title. The problem here is that Pac-Man Tilt is mostly enjoyable, but occasionally infuriating due to its mix of traditional and motion controls.
Can DoA’s first Nintendo entry appeal to both a DoA newbie and a DoA regular?
For those wishing to see a review done by someone who has played the rest of the DoA series, please see Nick’s review of the game.
Four Spider-Men are better than one.
It seems that each and every year a new Spider-Man game is released, and every year that Spider-Man game seems to be a disappointment. My last exposure to a Spider-Man game was Spider-Man 2, which featured open-world exploration and tasks. The game controlled well and was moderately enjoyable, but the structure was a bit too loose, causing the game to eventually become tedious and boring. Shattered Dimensions, the latest Spider-Man game, is quite the opposite. For the first time ever, the essence of Spider-Man has truly been captured through the game's characters, levels, presentation, and solid gameplay.
