The Dead to Rights franchise is one of the weirdest in terms of storyline. Okay, so there may not be anything weird about a desolate city overrun by the scum of the Earth. But Dead to Rights is probably the only series I can think of where there was no sequel, but rather a prequel, [...]

Unlike Lost Planet, Dead Rising never saw the light of day on the PlayStation 3. We have no doubt in our minds that a version of the game exists, as it was long reported to be in development for the PS3, as well. Ultimately, if you’ve been keeping tabs, you know that the PS3 port [...]

We did a preview for this game way back in 2006 but clearly, it’s well past time to issue an updated preview for the sake of all those role-playing fans out there. Heck, this project doesn’t even have the same title anymore! Originally known as White Knight Story, it has since been changed to White [...]

When this popped up on the rumor radar many months ago, I admit, I scoffed at it and moved on. I thought to myself “what the hell is the point of a LEGO themed Rock Band game?” To be frank, I still think that. Heck, if MTV wanted to release a more family friendly Rock [...]

During the PS2 days, I reveled in the likes of Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance and Champions of Norrath, and although I was disappointed in the recently [...]

Konami may have been one of the original pioneers in the explosive music genre, but they’ve since taken a backseat to the likes of Harmonix and Neversoft (and publishers Activision and MTV Games). However, that doesn’t mean they won’t continue to make contributions to the ever-growing category in question, which is why Karaoke Revolution will [...]

Developer Interlink has assembled a cult following among PSP owners that purchased a copy of LocoRoco two years ago. Since then, many of us have wondered what new wacky game the studio would have in store for us. Patapon is that game, and after spending an extensive amount of time with it, we strongly believe [...]

When word got out that Ready at Dawn would be tackling one of Sony’s largest franchises, God of War, and bringing it over to the PSP, optimism was pretty high. The team, responsible for the splendid Daxter, did a fantastic job of bringing the Jak and Daxter world into the palm of our hands. Furthermore, [...]

Puzzle games and handhelds. Like peanut butter and jelly, the two have always gone hand in hand with one another. Thanks to the overwhelming success of Tetris and the GameBoy, puzzle games always seem better suited on handhelds, as opposed to consoles. That is not to say that there’s anything wrong with console puzzle games, [...]
