After last week's mini release resurgence, which perhaps topped out with Starbreeze Studios' incredibly atmospheric pseudo RPG-edged, first-person shooter The Darkness (PS3, Xbox 360), this week sees a typical trough arriving hot on the heels of a modest peak. And so, it's off back to the summer doldrums following a tantalisingly brief glimpse of what the gaming scene really should look like.
GamerSquad has the full listings.
In the conclusion to a three part series, CV takes a look at the most recent Ninja Gaiden games, for better and for worse.
They need to make a true sequel to Ninja Gaiden 2, that was the most satisfying combat I've experienced in a hack n slash game.
been playing 1&2 on and off since they were released. I usually will play until I get frustrated then take another year off lol. Nver tried 3 or the 4th one even though they are in my backlog.
I tried to go back to Sigma but good god those controls are just insufferable. Couldn't do it.
More of SNK Playmore’s fighting games are about to be re-released as PlayStation 3 compatible PS2 Classics in Japan.
It’s a big month for the PlayStation Now Subscription, with new games and new devices to play on.
Is PS Now fairly consistent with a good internet connection? Do the games offer trophy support?
I love ps now, think about 100 + ps3 games streamed right away to your tv. Don't have to wait for gamefly, don't need to get up and go to the store. Instantly streamed to you from an internet connection. Think about it. gamefly two disc plan runs you 22.00 a month for two disc and sometimes you have to wait. 2-4 days for a game. $44.00 for 3 months gets you unlimited access to ps3 games and soon ps2 and ps1. If you are an mmo player you pay 15.00 a month just to play that one game. i think the value is perfect. Even when psn goes down. Think about mmo's when they go down or go down for maintenance you still pay 15.00 a month for that one game. Not trying to fanboy here but ps now will be a good investment. Think about it you don't have to hook up your old console just to play a game.
I tried PS Now for a month and am now really intrigued by the games on demand model, the convenience of such a massive catalogue at your fingertips is awesome. But I have ps3 so the value just isn't there at the moment. Also I couldn't help but wonder why there aren't more Sony exclusives featured on Now?
The best games to play on PSNow would be RPGs, Card Games, Board Games, pretty much anything turn-based or non-reflex related. On the opposite side, Fighting games, for example, are absolute trash on PSNow because if you're even half serious about them you don't want any interference, period. Normal online tends to be bad enough as it is for serious players.
I would also stay from anything like 1001 Spikes or Shmups.
Also, when is the price going to drop to a reasonable $10 per month/$100 per year?

Vampire Rain will probably be not as bad as Hour of Victory but I dont have much hope for it
How is the source site supposed to gather traffic if you paste the content into the comments section. Gee, that's helpful. Thanks. :(
are you kidding me, vampire rain is soooo much worse than Hour of Victory and I bought that game too. It has no competition with Sigma.
