New Releases: Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep, Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions, NHL 11, More

Gaming Target writes:

"Labor Day weekend is here, so to get in a festive mood we're honoring all of the hard work the development teams did to bring us this week's new releases:

Square Enix has created the first Kingdom Hearts game for the PSP, Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep.

Beenox brings Spider-Man back for another round of video game action in Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions (DS, PS3, Wii, Xbox 360).

EA Canada is responsible for two games this week, NHL 11 on the PS3 and Xbox 360 and NHL Slapshot exclusively on the Wii.

If the list of notable new releases looked a little larger to you this week, there's a reason for that. Not only do we celebrate Labor Day today, but this week is also the official start to the Fall gaming season."

I’d Die For A Web-Slinging Spider-Verse Game in the Same Visual Style As the Animated Films

TW: “With the recent release of the sequel film, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, I’ve been revisiting the astounding world of the Spider-Verse, enjoying both the prequel and the new sequel film in all their glory; and it’s led me to ask one question — why the hell isn’t there a Spider-Verse game?”

Didn't they already have that as a costume in the previous game.

There sure was a super sweet looking cell shaded suit. Made you feel like your actually playing a comic.

The look is perfect we got enough games in that art style.

It would still be sick though. And I dont mean cell shading to cut corners. It would have to be amazing like the movies themselves.

potatoseal325d ago

I too would like a whole game with the entire world looking like the animated movie. It could be awesome

jznrpg324d ago

I like this style better imo

Was Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep a Masterpiece or an Exercise in Tedium?

Overall, Birth By Sleep is an important slice of the Kingdom Hearts series, and shouldn’t be missed out on if you’re looking to get into the series. Granted, some of the features and moment-to-moment gameplay is lost when it transitioned from the PSP to modern consoles. But nonetheless, one can’t deny its overall importance to the story and the impact of its mechanics and systems to the series overall.

i like it, but its just too much "friendships are the key to our power" bs.
don't get me started on them minigames lol

i think the game had tremendous potential for essential online gaming and other things. but they didnt do a whole lot with it in the remaster.

i would, however, consider it to be one of the harder games in the series, which is good

'Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep' – Making a Prequel

What makes Birth by Sleep’s story so engrossing isn’t that it's as a prequel, It’s the fact that it’s emotionally charged and mature.
