A little time has gone by since Sierra Online announced it was publishing an Xbox Live Arcade "seek-and-find" puzzler called Interpol. Since then, Sierra has essentially gone away, having been dissolved when its parent Vivendi Games was merged with Activision to create Activision Blizzard. Some Vivendi/Sierra works-in-progress have landed at other publishers-such as THQ announcing last month that the forthcoming 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand was added to its "coming soon" list-and a few are still MIA.
As it turns out, Interpol is one of the free agents that's landed on a team: Developer TikGames (which is known for XBLA titles such as Texas Hold'em and Domino Master) will be announcing that it's also taking over the publishing duties for the detective game.
Starting April 1st, Playstation 3 gamers can grab 7 PSN titles for half the original price. Here are the games and their new prices, after the jump
The PS3 releases this month have been as strong as ever, and fortunately the great games are still flooding in for Christmas time. This month's OPM reviews the greatly anticipated Italian stealth simulator, FIFA's ugly sister, the epitome of the PlayStation fighting genre, a game where you ferociously make flailing arm movements at your TV to cater for your "virtual pet" (yeah right, you crazy man) and many more. Hit the jump for the latest scores.
Assassins Creed 2 and A Crack in Time both got 9/10.
In my opinion OPMUK are always nearly spot on with their scores (excluding GTAIV).
Really looking forward to playing both these games (As well as MW2) on Christmas day.
Agreed, they are just about the only publication I can trust. They've been pretty much spot on with every score.
Well R&C is a given, Insomniac said ACiT is the best ever. I dont care about R&C reviews anymore game is already mine, HOWEVER ACII needs to prove itself. This review and some reviews impressions from OXM make me think ACII could be a great game this time.
ACII, Dragon Age Origins are the multiplat games to have for me. Lets see how they perform.
Couldn't agree more. I'll probably get ACII, but no way I'm picking it up on day one.
One great thing they added and listened to fans on AC2 is the idea of buying your equipment with money. However i hope that means other things can be bought by money and we can have assassin missions that's not in the main quest and have an infinite amount of mission that doesnt get too old.
I hate it when we've done everything in a game and theres nothing else to do but walk around the city.
Espetially when they are the same game that was released a year ago with like 5 new features. For example, I will probably never understand why people will fork over good money for FIFA 10, when they can almost get the exact same thing in FIFA 09, for a whole lot cheaper.
Ratchet and Clank and GTA: Chinatown Wars will be the first games I get when I find some money.
I REALLY want Chinatown Wars, but I promised myself I won't get it until I finish Vice City Stories first :) I got a long way to go in that game still....
It a real flood all right, I guess my PS3 won't get much use, because I could care less about any of those. I'm still waiting for a good RPG. That's the main reason I purchased a PS3 in the first place.
Dragon age origins is out at the start of Nov, i for one will be buying it.
Here's a link to a review of it http://www.n4g.com/pc/News-...
Also have you tried Demon's souls? that is a great action-WRPG, the only problem you might have is getting used to dying as it is hard but really enjoyable.
Demon's souls review: http://au.ps3.ign.com/artic...
Although I am glad I bought demon's souls, it tends to get fairly repetitive toward the end. But I am pumped to start a new game +. I think it is a fine game, but maaaaaybe receiving a bit too high praise.
Essena: Are you tinkering with your stats? I didn't think the game was repetitive at all. Each level has a different design concept, and different battle tactics work better in different places.
The soul grinding can get repetitive, but thats why they call it grinding.
I played through almost once, took a 3 day break to beat Uncharted 2, and then finished up Demon's Souls. I never thought it got repetitive.
Then I started New Game+. They aren't kidding...Its harder. No room for any mistakes. This is one of my favorite games this generation.
Good to hear my extreme dislike of AC isn't unique. I found it pure tedium from start to finish with every mission seeming so repetetive. Definately not interested in looking into part two.
I agree, when I noticed that it was just the same "complete these 3 sub quests out of a variety of 6" I didn't bother exploring the world and just rattled through it. Won't be getting the sequel even though I found the ending intriguing.
There is just something about the AC universe that just seems boring and drab. I have no interest in these settings
Want to see which region got what content? Look no further, as PlayStation LifeStyle has done the searching for you and compiled a list of what's new in this week's PlayStation Store Update, for all regions across the globe.
I've got the PSP remake of FF Tactics. I might have to pick this one up too though the next time I go through a PSOne playing frenzy.
Trine not hitting this week is a bummer.
The Batman DLC should be pretty kewl though.
