Ok, let me first say that I think I may have played with a PS2 installment of Final Fantasy, got bored of it real quick and moved onto something different. So it’s safe to say I’m not a fan of the series. In fact if it wasn’t for the publisher sending me a review copy, I would never have played Final Fantasy XIII. It’s just not my style of game.
But hey, I was sent a review copy, so I feel like I should give the series another go, who knows, it may be totally different from the PS2 days.
But lets first look at the premise of the game: Read the rest of this entry »

On thursday night Heavy Rain kicked into top gear with such aggression I was instantly hooked and by the end of the night found it hard to put the game down. This was the style of game I remembered, and I was loving it. True to form, and this is not the reason I’m loving it, Quantic Dream proved that they were a French development team with their highly detailed female protagonist. If you can’t read between the lines never mind, you’ll realise what I’m talking about within the first five minutes of controlling Madison Paige.
So kicking into high gear, Ethan Mars who seems to be the main character discovers that to save his son, he has to complete a series of challenges laid down by the Origami Killer. This is where the game gets really gritty and dark – to the point where you’re left contemplating the original Saw film, and wondering if the Saw game could have ever had the emotional impact of the trials that Heavy Rain forces Ethan to go through.

I had a second session on Heavy Rain last night, and I finally got into the storyline as such – not that my first session didn’t, it’s just that that was more of a setting the scene kind of thing. The worrying thing is I’m still not totally hooked on the game. This may be due to my high expectations and my memories of playing Fahrenheit, where you essentially get put right into the action, and from memory there wasn’t a heck of a lot of boring bits. This is in stark opposites to how Heavy Rain is going, where a lot of it seems to mirror my daily life; feeding the kids, home work, playing with the kids etc… I’m sure this is supposed to instill a certain amount of emotional attachment, but when my child goes missing in the game, it came as a relief. It meant that I might be able to get onto some of the grittier parts of the game. Read the rest of this entry »

Sony has officially announced its “secret sequel,” and as it turns out, it’s a proper follow-up to the beloved SOCOM series: SOCOM 4. The game is being developed by Zipper Interactive, and it’s due out this fall. Many assumed MAG was the developer’s next step in military action, but apparently they plan to keep the two running concurrently. The blog promises to continue to support MAG after SOCOM 4 launches.
The plot revolves around a military coup in a South Asian country. Players take control of a five-man squad to stop him in the single-player campaign. IGN reports that the 12-hour mission features motion-captured characters in the directorial style of Uncharted 2. All weapons and supplies will be either given at the start of the game, or found inside the missions, to replicate the feeling of searching for supplies in a combat scenario. Of course, multiplayer is back as well, promising 32-person multiplayer with new Special Forces units. Other than that, details are sparse, but we’re sure to see more in the coming months. [1up]
