AH yes, Capcom milking something that hasn’t really been milked since the early 90s. After the success(and awesomeness) of Mega Man 9, it was no surprise that people wanted more, and Capcom never misses the opportunity to make easy money.
Since the fans loved it so much, myself included, this game goes back to the NES style of Mega Man games again. Cover art and all. Yeah, I really love that cover art… The game features nostalgic graphics, nostalgic music and nostalgic gameplay.
Does it hold of as well as Mega Man 9, or should have Capcom stopped milking the cow already?

The first Matt Hazard game bombed. Big time. The story of the fictional former video game icon doing a return seemingly didn’t appeal to anyone. Or maybe it was the mediocre and very buggy gameplay. Who knows?</sarcasm>
On my side, I appreciated the humor, but the game didn’t really feel right. Following the first Matt Hazard comes a new game in the series, this one going for what the first game SHOULD have been: a Contra/Metal Slug-like action platformer.
So did Matt Hazard finally find his genre of choice, or should he just give up?

This game started out as a rumored Zelda game for some reason (because of the triforce symbol on the clock thing). It got a bit of hype because of that. What really interested me was the graphics, ad then I heard about the completely random concept. After playing the demos, I was sold.
What is it that made me fall in love with it? Read on and see!

Just looking at the game’s title you can’t help but wonder what it’s all about. Why a Batman reference anyways? No one knows. But this is a pretty fun game.
Read on and see what it’s all about. And don’t forget to check the Save Factor for the game!

On last year’s E3, it was all about the upcoming release of Little Big Planet, Killzone 2 and Resistance 2 on the Sony front. But a small developer called Titan Studios, with the help of Sony, revealed a game no one knew about before that, called Fat Princess. While it looked interesting, I always take precaution before getting hyped into a game when I know it’s far from being released. But with more and more information, I got sucked into the game’s hype machine, wanting to get my hands on some piece of that cake. After missing over and over again my chances to get into the beta because I was too busy studying, I finally got my chance to try it. So was the hype really worth its gold? Find out after the jump!

The concept of achievements and trophies (to make it shorter, I’ll just say achievements now…), by itself, is okay. Do good in games, get a score attached to that, get bragging rights (if those matter to you at all), this is fine. It could be better, there could be some kind of reward if you get really high gamerscore/level(no, extra stuff to put in your apartment in Home doesn’t count), but overall it’s good. It adds some replay value to games that gamers THINK is not in the game from the start(though, as I’ll explain later, gamers have been doing “Achievements” for a long time now).
But despite the concept of achievements being… not too bad… well there’s a huge problem with it. A problem I actually realized recently.
I might not be the first to see this, but whatever, I still feel like talking about it.
Read on and see why, in general, achievements are stupid!

Well yesterday the PSN got 2 demos that struck my interest. One for the somehow higly anticipated Wanted: Weapons of Fate, and one for the new downloadable game Watchmen: The End is Nigh. One being a clichéd Third Person Shooter, and the other being an arcade-style beat ‘em up.
I played both demos a few times to get a good grasp of them, so let’s go with the impressions.

Greetings,
I’d like to post my review of flower for you all today. First of all what is this game? You’re a petal, you must collect other petals from other flowers and eventually by completing certain objectives you end the level.

Ah, shoot ‘em ups(shmups for short). Some of the most challenging games out there. And if you eventually become good enough to finish the game with minimal dying, the greatness that is the internet enables you to challenge the world, bringing the gameplay to a whole new level. Soldner-X is no different.
If you like being blasted from every direction in a spaceship, check out my review of the latest on the PSN! (this is gonna be kinda short… i think)

Super Stardust Portable is the little brother to the smash-hit PSN title, Super Stardust HD, and is currently sitting on the European PSN Store for £6.30. With a lot to live up to, will this game manage to match its big brother? Or is the PSP too limited a piece of hardware for the game to meet its potential or for it to even be worth the asking price? Read on to find out for yourself.
