Review: Naughty Bear
Here’s the deal, I was a big fan of Conker’s Bad Fur Day for the N64, and absolutely loved the remake of it for the Xbox, Conker: Live and Reloaded. The idea of a cute, cuddly, and furry animal wreaking havoc in a peaceful world is so twisted that it’s awesome. What helped that game succeed was the humourous dialogue, varied level design, and satisfying, yet rewarding combat mechanics. Now Naughty Bear has arrived, and he is trying to cash in on the same idea. The problem with this is that Naughty only ends up succeeding in concept, and fails in getting everything else right.

E3 2010: Twisted Metal Trailer
As much of a Nintendo fanboy as I might be, don’t forget that I do love to play games on every console. Here is a trailer for a PS3 game that I am really excited about. Twisted Metal was, and still is, one of the most popular Playstation games to ever be released.

E3 2010: Sony PC Highlights
Even though it went for just a little too long (around 3 hours or so) there were still plenty of things to enjoy about the Sony press conference. Die hard fans of a certain series are finally getting the game that they have been waiting for, a release date for a popular racing title has been announced, an epic speech was given, a popular puzzle game gets released onto the PS3, and even the PSP gets a new peripheral. Keep in mind that I missed some parts of the show due to the lag of the online feed for certain websites. Nevertheless, let’s take some time now and look at some of the highlights from the show.

Microview: Alpha Protocol
Not every game can be a 10 million dollar project that sweeps the industry off its feet with it’s years of polish and technical advancements. Most of the time, it is the “little thing” in a game that can make it a part of your personal favorites list. Alpha Protocol is one of those games. While it won’t impress anyone visually, it’s those “little things” it has that make this spy-RPG a game you should give attention to. (more…)

Preview: Resonance of Fate
Resonance of Fate is said to be “getting pushed out to die in the battle of RPG-supremacy for March, 2010.” Quite possible indeed, considering Square-enix releases its role-playing powerhouse Final Fantasy XIII not more than a week prior to RoF. Or maybe Sega & Tri-Ace have a fight in their hands they intend to win. (more…)

Review: Fret Nice
Not only has Fret Nice developer Pieces Interactive prove they can put together an inventive and fun platforming title, they’ve also proved they aren’t afraid of trying something different. Busting out the ol’ plastic guitar to play a platforming game sounds like a lot more fun than it really is, but that doesn’t mean the game falls short of being “purchase-worthy”. (more…)
