Spider-Man: Web of Shadows Preview

Phahtrox:Where do I start? Ah...Spider-Man 3...I remember rating that game...On a 1-10 scale it got an "OMG/WTF". Graphics were subpar, and the gameplay was atrocious beyond belief. So, do I even have a slight wanting to play the next game, prolly(not spelled wrong) not.



On the other hand SM3 was a rushed movie game, so the game prolly was not in it's prime. Activision may update the engine so it will not be as bad, character models and all. Another thing is that the game does not have to follow a script that was made for a mainly talking intensive movie. Maybe it will be good...

But as I've seen, Activision does not change with the times(ex.Tony Hawk) so it may be the same. IDK...

Vemon has returned to New York to infect the city with an army of symbiotes. S.H.I.E.L.D. has quarantined Manhattan to prevent the invasion from spreading. As a result, the entire city is cut off from the outside world. Spider-Man has to work with both Heroes and villains from the universe to track down Venom and stop the invasion before he himself is consumed by the symbiote attached to him.

Sonic Unleased: A Late Preview

June 10,2008 - Because Sega has been crapping out Sonic titles – both in terms of frequency and quality – such as Sonic Rivals and Sonic Riders, the blue hedgehog has found himself in a rut. Despite his traditional 2D games on the DS, people have stopped and will continue to stop caring unless something not resembling crap is released on a console. Sonic Team has been hard at work since 2005 with the “hedgehog engine,” and it’ll finally rear its head this winter when Sonic Unleashed is finally, well, unleashed.

Phahtrox: It's about time a good Sonic game is coming out, and with amazing, near SMG graphic and by the looks of it, the gameplay is not going vacuum a pile of rancid snot rags, like the others did.
Hopefully this time those "unneeded characters" will not show up and ruin the game. Tails is OK, Knuckles is a stretch, but Amy and Big should never see the light of day ever again.

Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X coming to Wii?

Phahtrox:I dunno...THAT last game, based on the Tom Clancy series, was horrible. THAT game was an insult to core gamers all over the mediascape. Bad controls, bad graphics. THAT game should never be named...

But then again, maybe they learned their lesson, and grew from that experience and now is coming back with a good story and level design. Maybe the graphics will be good and enjoyable. Maybe, just maybe.

Like most Ubisoft games, they are multiplatform, and some versions suck more than others, but I hope they will get this one right; I'm still boiling from me and Ubisoft's last outing...

H.A.W.X. includes over 50 planes available for aerial warfare. It is set in 2012 above the skies of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in a world increasingly dependent on private military companies (PMCs) and elite mercenaries who have lax view on the law. As these non-governmental organizations gain power, global conflict erupts with one powerful PMC attacking the United States. The game is set in the same universe as Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter, as Captain Scott Mitchell the Ghost Leader is shown calling for air support from a H.A.W.X. pilot in the trailer.

The game features an Enhanced Reality System (ERS), which can include radars, incoming missile detection, an anti-crash system, damage control system, tactical map, information relay, weapons trajectory control and the ability to give commands to an AI squadron. When fully activated, ERS provides assistance to the player. Some or all of these assists can be turned off to make the game more difficult and give the player more maneuverability.

H.A.W.X. supports four-player co-op throughout the campaign. Players can join other players games on-the-fly. There is also a versus mode where up to 16 players can battle online for experience points and in-game cash, to unlock new weapons.

Phahtrox:
So, is it looking amazing? NO.
Should you buy it? Wait for review.
Am I going to get it? Prolly not.

Wii Love 3 A's!

“Honestly, I think the lack of AAA titles also has a lot to do with a lot of the 3rd parties simply being caught with their pants down. Triple A take a lot of time to develop; Many years in fact. For them to have been announced/released by now, it would have meant that they were in development/planning before/shortly after the Wii was released. However, nobody, besides Nintendo, expected the Wii sales to be so strong, and anyone who did should be buying lottery tickets.

However, the good news is, now that the industry has seen the rise of the Wii, I’m sure many plans and budgets have been shifted and adjusted, and triple A titles should be in their pipeline (though not ready to be announced). This means soon, you should be flooded with the titles from the franchises you’re familiar with, and ones that aren’t just spinoffs.

Have a little patience and faith in the little white console that could. I know I am. ‘Lost’” - Community Specialist of Capcom Entertainment

Phahtrox:I like the sound of this! I'm really sick of seeing "Wii Sports" rip-offs and crappy games with even worse controls. This gives me a smile and hope.

Hudson Soft Delayed Tetris for WiiWare

Yea...for those puzzle kings who love their Tetris highscores and want to do it all over again on the Wii, you have to wait...


Also the name has changed, though no info was mentioned about it. Because of the use of the balance board may be included, the game got delayed.
Phahtrox:I'm not sure how the Wii Balance Board will make it any better...or any fun.
