[Vita Review] Soul Sacrifice
Posted by PAUL FIERCE in Featured, PS3 Reviews / Vita Reviews, Soul Sacrifice on May 24th, 2013
Soul Sacrifice is arguably the best game I have ever played for the PlayStation Vita. This is Sony Computer Entertainment Japan’s answer to the popular “Monster Hunter” series. Keiji Inafune is well known for the Onimusha and MegaMan series that he created for Capcom. Now he’s back with this brand new IP for Sony.
Without giving anything away, the game is very mission based. You have your typical collect/find items and kill the boss type of scenarios. Instead of dinosaur type monsters, though, you wage battle with evil, demonic, trippy looking creatures. From Cerberus to a Harpy, even a possessed Rat. What’s impressive about this game is the character design and stages. The creatures that you fight are gloriously well drawn and animated. You gotta have some type of imagination to be able to think of these type of creatures. They do not look typical at all. A lot of reviews I read for this game just talk about the gameplay and multiplayer aspect, however there is more to it than that.
[PSN Review] Thomas Was Alone
Posted by EdEN in Featured, Media, PLAYSTATION Store, PS3, PS3 Reviews / Vita Reviews, PS3 software, PSN on May 23rd, 2013
Thomas Was Alone is the critically acclaimed indie platformer about friendship and jumping. Guide a group of sentient rectangles through a series of environments, combining their skills to reach the end of each level. Listen to awesome music by David Housden, negotiate obstacles meticulously placed by Mike Bithell and immerse yourself in the characters’ journey with a voiceover read wistfully and amusingly by Danny Wallace.
Discover the story of the world’s first sentient AIs, and how they worked together to, well… “escape” is a strong word. “Emerge” might be better. “Emerge” has an air of importance about it, while keeping a plethora of plot twists and origin stories under wraps. We didn’t even mention the bouncing. That’d be overkill.
Features:
100 levels.
12 playable characters, each with unique characteristics and abilities.
Story narrated by Danny Wallace.
Soundtrack by critically acclaimed composer David Housden.
Commentary for every level by creator Mike Bithell.

Welcome to another week of the podcast. It’s a busy one, seeing as we go about 50 minutes with nothing but news discussions. There is of course the usual stuff between stories.
I’ve picked up Metro: Last Light off the PSN, since it was discounted for plus members at $47.99. I’m looking forward to diving into that one. You should go read Jason’s review, though it is the PC version. Perhaps someone could do a short PS3 impressions piece to see how they think it is.
Anyways, enjoy the podcast this week! Leave your comments below, I read them all!
