Artistic platformer, please meet my friend the music mixer?

You’re a ball, with a tail of sorts, that rolls around and will occasionally find things to climb into/interact with.
God of War: Ascension Multiplayer Beta Coming Soon; New Trailer
Posted by Jay in God of War: Ascension, Media, QuickNews on August 14th, 2012
It was announced today that a multiplayer beta will be available soon for God of War: Ascension. As you may know, the God of War franchise has traditionally been a single player experience, but with the announcement of Ascension earlier this year, it was revealed that the title would also have a multiplayer component.
According to the Official Blog, it’s 4v4, with some co-op moments in the gameplay. You can create your warrior and show your allegiance to either Zeus, Ares, Poseidon or Hades; each god has its own special abilities for their warriors.
It’s an interesting looking multiplayer mode. Here’s hoping it delivers.
E3 2012: God of War Ascension Gameplay
Posted by Jay in E3 2012, God of War: Ascension, Media on June 5th, 2012
Oh how I have loved the God of War games. In my opinion, they are among the coolest of titles on PlayStation. Some might say that the series may be overstaying its welcome, but I say as long as the story’s good, and they keep the gameplay as fluid as it has always been, bring it!
At E3 this year, Sony showed off some very intense gameplay from the next title in the GOd of War series, Ascension, which still has the series’ signature fast-paced, bloody action and an assortment of mythological creatures (with this one showing off some new ones, including what is likely going to be a future boss fight sticking its tentacles where they don’t belong). Anyone else looking forward to this one?
E3 2012: PlayStation All-Stars Coming to Vita; Drake and Big Daddy Confirmed
Posted by Jay in E3 2012, Media, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, PlayStation Vita Software on June 5th, 2012
Alright, let’s get the obvious out of the way. What does this game remind you of? What other game had themed levels based on the characters, or the worlds from which they came, within the game? You guessed it. Super Smash Brothers. Except this game has Kratos, a Helghan soldier, Sweet Tooth, and the hardest of hardcore, Parappa the Rapper.
The game was originally announced back in April, and had some gameplay footage then to go along with it. At E3, however, it was revealed that Drake and Big Daddy would also be characters, and that the title will also make its way onto the Vita, with cross platform play to boot. With the inclusion of third party characters, and given that Big Daddy is even a multiplatform character, who else can we expect in the roster?
Even though it seems like a rip off of SSB, it could still be a lot of fun, at least for quick spurts of fun. As a kid, I enjoyed going over to my neighbor’s house and having tournaments on the N64. Some PlayStation fans have never played those games, so this could be fresh to them.
[PSN Review] Datura
Posted by Cheeto in D, Datura, Featured, PS3, PS3 Reviews / Vita Reviews, PS3 software, PSN on May 14th, 2012
When I first watched the preview behind the concept of Datura, I was very excited. I am a sucker for innovative and artistic games. I crave games that challenge my moralities and keep me guessing until the very end. Datura is like nothing I’ve ever played. It is a psychological thriller inside the twisted mind of a man, that feels more of an interactive experience than an actual game. The bizarre story and rich environment will keep you hooked the entire time. Unfortunately, the time spent in this magical dream is disrupted, on many occasions, by the lack of deep and fluid controls.
