GamingUnion.net: "April is here and it's off with huge explosion in gaming! The new episode of GBF is here and we give the quick rundown of titles that we reviewed in the last week. Lauren, Darryl, and Brian will give you the game reviews from April 2 - 8, 2011.
Not everyone wants to read full reviews for every game. We remedy that by doing short 1 minute reviews for each game that we've most recently played. Get all the information you need on a game just by watching this weekly video series! If you like what you see in a game, check out our full review of the title.
This episode, we reviewed 10 games: MotorStorm: Apocalypse, MLB 11: The Show, PlayStation Move Heroes, The 3rd Birthday, Samurai Warriors Chronicles, Moon Diver, Chime Super Deluxe, Okamiden, Ridge Racer 3D, and Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime."
Digital Foundry : Evolution Studios' Motorstorm is one of the first, finest and most fondly remembered of launch titles for PlayStation 3. It's a release designed to answer the question posed by each new console generation: what makes a game 'next-gen'? With its robust physics engine and massive tracks, Motorstorm serves up a bold affirmative answer to this question, delivering an experience that could never have existed on prior console hardware. At the same time, the path to release was fraught with challenges that almost serve as a microcosm of the PlayStation 3 release situation itself. It was a success, however, with a trilogy of PS3 releases, plus PSP, Vita and even PS2 off-shoots.
After Driveclub and Onrush, the dev team will now contribute to and assist with the development of the upcoming NFS.
Never really got into it myself I remember getting it with ps3 and being a bit underwhelmed I preferred the RC version they did for vita 🙌🏻🤣
From Japanese horror novel to game, the Parasite Eve franchise deserves a redemption arc in this week’s edition of Bring it Back.
The original was a really unique RPG. Cool combat system too. Whatever they did with the PSP Version... don’t ever do that again. Would like to see this series return.
I think the reason why they won't bring it back is due to the licensing and the failure of that abysmal PSP game.
I think Square should try to attempt a reboot without the whole use of "Eve", since Aya is an original creation I would assume they could still use her, and maybe come up with a new threat and implement all the mechanics from the original but modernize it. Y'know, something like FF7's hybrid combat system would be awesome.
The problem comes down to Square willing to take a risk. They could dump all this effort and money into a project and it could bomb in sales. I miss the days when developers could come up with any idea and get a game green-lit even if it wasn't a guaranteed success.
Ashamed to say this is a gap in my gaming experience here. Never played the Parasite Eve titles. I do have a PS2 sat under my TV, if you have no nostalgia for the games, do you reckon they hold up?
The PlayStation Portable (PSP) was one of the most successful handheld consoles to date, featuring a large roster of games including each and every genre present to date.
Replace 3rd birthday with peace walker or Dissidia and it will be an excellent list. 3rd birthday is great mechanically but the story is attrocious as a parasite eve sequel.
Some great games out last week!
I finally understand, just a bit, what's going on with The 3rd Birthday's plot xD It's confusing as hell, but it just takes time to settle in.
Great show guys!! Now I know not to play Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime.. been telling everyone who asks me about the review. So bad :(
But why did Moon Diver have to be so brutally unforgiving? I love side scrolling hack 'n slash games, and that one was just so disappointing for me.
You can't be serious with that title...
