KOEI, recognized worldwide as the premier brand of strategy and action games, today announced that BLADESTORM: The Hundred Years' War has achieved gold status, and will ship to North American retailers beginning November 6, 2007 for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system.
For those of you not yet familiar with the Unsung Heroes series, the rules are as follows; games eligible are those disc-based releases that Electronic Theatre feels have been underrated, undersold, or treated unfairly since launch. And for Xbox360 (along with every other system) we're keeping it based strictly on titles that have seen UK launch. The positive reception we've received to the Unsung Heroes series has been very much appreciated...
The only two that deserve to be on that list are Dark Sector and Just Cause...
Nice article. Dark Sector is an awesome game and is surely underrated. The GFX esp.
I think this list should be renamed the 5 most crappest 360 games, as ive played 4 of them and they are all crap.
real crappy games
oh PM me for getting free call of duty 5 beta key. no spam.
KOEI has told Eurogamer there are no existing plans for a sequel to Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War.
The publisher was speaking after announcing Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2, the original of which launched alongside Bladestorm - also on Xbox 360 and PS3 - last November.
In Bladestorm, rather than control and fight as one character, entire squads of period fighters such as pikemen or royal knights or musketeers or archers could be captained into huge skirmishes, a bit like Total War on speed.
I really was hoping they would expand on this game. There was so much more they could of done. Hopefully they will revisit it at some point and time. :)
Unliek many people I guess I actually liked this game and found it fun.
After a joyous yuletide spent playing Naughty Dog's supreme Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, it's back to the frontlines of the Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 console war for this reporter, with the latest battery of cross-platform confrontations. You know the score by now: impartial criticism on each multi-format release is the name of the game, the aim being to supplement the original Eurogamer reviews with additional commentary relevant to each version of the game, with gameplay the primary concern.
Eurogamer compares the following games:
- Kane and Lynch: Dead Men
- TimeShift
- Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2
- Tony Hawk's Proving Ground
- Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock
- Blazing Angels: Secret Missions of WWII
- Medal of Honor: Airborne
- Dynasty Warriors: Gundam
- Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War
- Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga
- Clive Barker's Jericho
- John Woo Presents Stranglehold
"impartial criticism on each multi-format release is the name of the game, the aim being to supplement the original Eurogamer reviews with additional commentary relevant to each version of the game, with gameplay the primary concern."
really? i thought the primary concern was to get fanboys riled up to get more hits and attention.
Everytime i read your stupid comment's everytime i begin to wonder if all of them are the same.You can't think of any better stuff to say.
F@cking idiot!!!
He constantly bashes the PS3, saying "But if I had to make a choice it would be the 360 version, if only for the gamerscore challenges and the fact that the excellent graphics aren't diminished by the needless Vaseline effect." But looking at pics like these ones makes me wonder the objectivity of his comments because to me the 360 pics are the ones that look "out of focus"...
that I just don't get. The demo was lame, I was expecting something like Dynasty Warriors and it wasn't. The only thing entertaining was the voice of the last character when you can choose the guy voice. That voice sounds so feminine its funny as hell.
yeah, this game blows, hated the demo.
Koei sucks at everything. a horrendous company with a 1 hit game out a bazzilion rehash titles that score an average of 5s across the board. nothing new and if it is new it sucks just like their other games (Fatal Inertia) no thanks i only spent 3 minutes before deleting bladestorm for PS3 off my hardrive... a truely broken and underwhelming experience. like all there so so boring games,
