Square-Go Writes:
"You can get weapon upgrades, but since you lose them every time you die, i.e. every 20 seconds, they're about as useful as a surgeon with Hemaphobia. On the plus side, the game has fancy new 3D visuals, and a score so epic that you'd be forgiven for mistaking 1942: Joint Strike for a Michael Bay film. Yet this doesn't make up for the fact it has the same dull, repetitive gameplay and outdated mechanics. Just because you've covered your Gran in Revlon and Max Factor doesn't hide the fact that she's still your Gran and your mates are not going to fancy her. Sure, you might like this if you enjoy insipidly repetitive gameplay and have a fetish for the eighties, but in that case you're probably not on Xbox live yet because you're too excited about your new Betamax player."
PSU takes another look back at some of the digital delights found Inside PlayStation Network.
Capcom Europe has today announced a brand new price promotion for five of its most popular downloadable titles. European PlayStation Network members will be able to get hold of Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD, Marvel VS Capcom 2, Super Puzzle Fighter, Age of Booty and 1942 for a reduced price over a set period in the coming months.
VGC writes: "Classic top-down shooters have always been a blast to play. Having to face off against wave after wave of multiple types of enemies at once has been the pinnacle of this genre. There have been many games, like Ikaruga, that have tried to change up gameplay mechanics, but most of the time the games always fall back onto the genre's core style. This isn't a bad thing though. It allows the player to reminisce about all the games of this genre that have came before it."
