Brink (PS3) Review

May 13, 2011 | | PS3 Reviews

Online
gaming is becoming more and more popular, and as a result we now have
a lot of games that are almost exclusively designed for multiplayer
action. A lot of gamers state that this is just fine but others will
argue that it really cuts the value of a game in half and doesn’t
offer enough to those who want lengthy campaigns and well-written
stories. Splash Damage’s new first-person shooter, Brink, is
a perfect example of a game that is very one-sided when it comes to
core game play. The game offers a campaign, but sadly there is really
no story development and the chapters are just preset matches with
short introductions and endings. In fact, all of the actual games in
Brink are multiplayer bouts which are based around different
objectives. Whether you are playing solo with bots or online with
some friends, it’s all the same.

Namco Announces Soul Calibur V

May 12, 2011 | | PS3 News

Namco has officially announced that Soul
Calibur V will be arriving on Xbox 360 and PS3 next year. The game will be
set 17 years after the events of Soul Calibur
IV with some of the main characters having aged significantly and the power
struggle having shifted towards the younger generation.

One of the major differences from Soul
Calibur IV will be the inclusion of a more reactive combat system with
combos that are simpler to perform. The game’s producer, Hisaharu Tago, admits
that in Soul Calibur IV there was some delay in the time it took the on-screen characters
to react to the player pressing a button and he insists that Soul Calibur V will feel “much
lighter, sharper and more elegant.”

Garshasp: The Monster Slayer Review

May 12, 2011 | | PC Reviews

Garshasp: The Monster Slayer is a third-person action-adventure hack-and-slash developed by Dead Mage. An indie PC answer to console games of a similar genre and gameplay style, and it is a very noble effort to mimic what many high-budget games accomplish. It is an excellent first try from an up-and-coming studio, but it also manages to fall short on several key aspects. These problems, unfortunately, mortally handicap what could have been a moderately enjoyable experience.

Brink PC Review

May 12, 2011 | | PC Reviews

Brink is a new teamplay objective-oriented first-person shooter from Enemy Territory developer, Splash Damage.
It is a game that promised to blur the lines between single-player,
multiplayer, and cooperative gameplay, and does a well enough job
delivering on all of these fronts. Unfortunately, it doesn’t end up
doing any of them particularly well, making for a somewhat middling
experience at times. It is a game with great potential (and plenty of
fun despite many issues) that is stunted by poor optimization and some
odd design decisions.
