Well, Thursday a download on the European PSN appeared. The first 100000 people to get it got access to the ModNation Racers beta. I managed to be fast enough to get the download. So I gave the beta some gameplay to see if the final game might end up living up to its potential or not.

Does it, or should they delay the release to iron out some things?

(NOTE: This is not a review, they’re merely my impressions after playing a very incomplete version of the game. I know this is a beta and that its nowhere near what we’ll get in the final version.)

The first game just won our award for one of the best PSP games of the year. And now a demo just came out for its sequel.

So I gave it a try… and it seems like it’s gonna be a lot better than the first!

Read and see what I liked about it! (just a short post)

I won’t be doing a full review of this because I just haven’t played enough of it to do so. According to walkthroughs I was a bit over half the game, and I didn’t really experience much of it, not doing any of the side-missions or anything like that. So instead I’ll give my impressions on the short time I did play the game.

Since this isn’t a review, there won’t be a Save Factor. And a different format than the usual review.

So read on and see!

Ah, Modern Warfare 2. The most anticipated game of the year despite there being so many other good games. So I gave the single-player campaign a try (I don’t really play online games, a solid SP experience is a lot more important to me) because the hype is so huge and CoD4 was kinda solid (though I didn’t finish it because I played it on the PS3 and I realised that I couldn’t play an FPS on a console to save my life). And, sadly, “just a try” was enough to finish it. So I’ll talk about my experience with the game.

Just for reference, I played the PC version.

I haven’t exactly played this enough for a full review, But I still wanted to do a quick post about it.

I’m not exactly the biggest Soul Calibur fan, and I haven’t enjoyed a Soul Calibur game just as much as Soul Calibur 2 on the gamecube. Maybe the series just felt stale afterwards, or maybe I just wasn’t really into it anyways.

So, and I’ll be quick on this, here are my impressions of the PSP version of Soul Calibur!

Today, September 10th 2009, a few demos came out on the PS3/PSP, all of which I thought might be at least mildly interesting to check out: TMNT: TITRS, Katamari Forever, Star Wars The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes and, for the PSP, Half-minute Hero.

TMNT:TITRS was one of my anticipated games this summer, yet I never checked out the 360 version, Katamari always intrigued me because of its popularity, Star Wars… well, it’s Star Wars…. and Half-Minute Hero has an interesting concept.

So, which of those fail, and which of those should we buy? Read my impressions for each of them and see! (I’ll make this short)

One of the two new free-roaming superhero games coming soon. And this one is a PS3 exclusive. Both this and Prototype definitely intrigue me, but for now this has captured my interest a lot more, and with a demo available to people who pre-ordered, I decided to take a look at what it had to offer.

Read on for my impressions on the demo!

Killzone 2. In 2005, it set seemingly impossible expectations with incredible HD graphics and animation. It was quickly found out that what we were shown was pre-rendered, and some people started second-guessing whether or not that would be possible on the PS3. It’s finally been over 3 years and we got not only to see lots of screenshots and footage, but today we were able to access a playable demo to be able to REALLY see it in action. Whether it was through a European PSN account like I did or through using a demo code by pre-ordering.

Right after work I went straight to download it and plugging my PS3 to the HDTV with the HDMI cable I JUST received, to actually experience the game like I should.

This is gonna be short, since Wintrale will be doing an in-depth review once the game comes out. So let’s get on with the impression.

Hi!

I figured I’d post this week about my going ons. There is no full review yet but pending someone doesn’t beat me to it. (You’re free to do so!) I will most likely review Sonic Unleashed and Prince of Persia. I picked those up yesterday. Not knowing what to think of each because things have been quite hush for both! I played one hour of each last night. Am I satisfied? Yes. Quite satisfied.

More after the break of course!

When I first heard of this, I thought it would be something similar to RE4, with slow useless zombies that aren’t exactly hard to kill or anything, and overall wouldn’t interest me.
I recently saw some videos and thought “Whoa, this looks crazy”. Well today the demo was made available to the public (instead of just people who pre-ordered) so I thought i’d take a gander.

Read on for my impressions.
