Of trivial pursuits, Vin Diesel, and determinism

Globe and Mail blogger reports on seven recent games, including Suikoden Tierkreis, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time, BattleForge, Resistance: Retribution, Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard, Trivial Pursuit, and...

"Wheelman (PlayStation 3, DS)

I'm not entirely sure where Vin Diesel's talents lie, but I'm pretty sure they're not in acting. I became even more convinced of his wooden nature while playing Wheelman, an action/racing game in which the American performer (who stars in both voice and body, thanks to a highly accurate digital rendering of his mug and beefy physique) delivers one of the stiffest performances I've ever witnessed in a game, which is saying something. At least he isn't spoiling much. Wheelman's middling action, which involves smashing cars into one another during high speed chases to create spectacular slow-motion mayhem, is fun to start but quickly becomes just as monotonous as Diesel's gravelly voice...."

This will def be easier to play on tv than originally designed. I remenber hooking psp to ps3 to use a ds3. Cumbersome but it worked. Its a good spin off.

Hope we will get Valkyria Chronicles 2-3 and Carnage Heart at some point. There's a bunch of psp games I never got a chance to play.

monkey602707d ago

Good shout! There's few PSP games I'd care to have on current gen consoles but Valkyria Chronicles is definitely one of them

Aggesan707d ago

VC3 doesn't have an official version in english though. There's a great fan-translation though.

Nineball2112706d ago

*shouting* THEY SAID THE GAME RATING..... oh, nvm.

Hauntedasylum8707d ago

I didn’t know this title existed, so when I saw the headline, I thought a new Resistance was being made. Man I miss that series!

cluclap707d ago

That's because it's the worst in the series. It was good for a psp title though.

darthv72707d ago

Burning skies takes that distinction (worst). This is better than that.

Profchaos706d ago (Edited 706d ago )

It was actually a great game probably above the original they gave the character a personality for one.

Maybe your thinking of burning skies

The Phalanx cover I do remember well, to be fair it did show a star ship on the cover too.

XbladeTeddy820d ago

The worst box art in recent memory was the Doom 2016 one. That cover was depressingly generic.

melons820d ago

gets a pass cos you could just flip it around to a cooler one instead
