Haze Co-op Gameplay
Posted by Blackstaffer in H, PS3 software on December 13th, 2007
With UT3 now a no-go for me, I have to look elsewhere for my next 4 player splitscreen shoot-em-up. The only contender seems to be Haze, which also has some cool co-op gameplay capabilities. Check those out in this video:

Last I heard about Haze, it was looking a bit ropey so I’ll be looking for some good reviews before I get it.
PlayStation Home Beta Videos – Full Walkthrough

Even if the rest of use can’t get into the Home Beta at least we can see it. The character creation is pretty detailed, I’m impressed. I have a sinking feeling in my gut that the public beta of home may never come
Spring 2008 is so far away.

Heavenly Sword Impressions
Posted by Gary in H, PS3 software on October 2nd, 2007
There’s been a lot of unfair criticism of Heavenly Sword, much like the PS3 itself in my view. Having purchased the game on Friday and finally finishing it today, I thought I’d share my views on one of the best games (in my opinion, if that wasn’t clear enough for you) currently available for the PS3.
Firstly, a little warning to those that haven’t yet finished the game or those that intend to buy it but haven’t got round to it yet. This post will contain a few spoilers. Continue reading at your own peril.
THE BEGINNING
The game starts off with you on a battlefield outnumbered by 1000s of enemy soldiers. Dozens of enemies attack you at once with hundreds more surrounding you, waiting for their chance to attack. It’s a breathtaking start to the game.
This, I believe, is also where some people get the impression that it’s a similar game to the Dynasty Warriors series. It’s not. It’s more akin to Devil May Cry, Ninja Gaiden or God of War than the DW games.
After slicing up a few hundred men and using the super cool Superstyle moves, Nariko seemingly dies holding the cursed Heavenly Sword.
She then awakens on an empty plain, which is where you start every new chapter. Brilliantly, you can select any chapter or an individual stage from each chapter once you’ve completed it, meaning you can replay any section that you want in order to collect all the glyphs from each stage, or maybe you just want to replay a certain section of the game for the fun of it.
Either way, it’s a great option for players to have.
The story then goes back 5 days before Nariko picks up the Heavenly Sword, in the run up to the invasion of King Bohan and his massive army. You then battle your way through the 5 days that leads to Nariko’s downfall.
