Review: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
The Original Ocarina of Time for the N64 was a commercial and critical success. It heralded a charge into 3D action/adventure, and invented some new mechanics that have been staples in video games ever since.
Review: Thor God of Thunder (DS)
WayForward Technologies has been creating video game movie tie-ins for quite some time. They created the creative and challenging Dispicable Me: Minion Mayhem, and also Contra 4 for the DS, a faithful continuation of the Contra franchise. It stands to reason that they may be able to create a fun and challenging game based on Thor, right? Not so much.
Review: Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition
Super Street Fighter IV for the Nintendo 3DS is the definitive handheld fighter. It offers great graphics, good control, and most of the modes offered in the console release. It also integrates very functional online support. If you own the 3DS and enjoyed the Street Fighter 2 glory days, you owe it to yourself to pick this game up.
Review: Fish Tank (PS3/PSP)
Fish Tank is a downloadable PS3/PSP minis game by developer iFun4All, who claims to be the worst game developer in the world and whose ultimate goal is to create the worst game ever made. I am sad to say that they have not yet made their goal. Fish Tank, while not the greatest game of all time, definitely has some fun and addictive qualities.
Review: Ōkamiden
I loved the first Okami game. Its art style and Zelda-like gameplay made it one of the best games of 2006. One of my biggest complaints about the game was that the brush was difficult to wield using an analog stick. Then in 2008, it was released for the Wii, and while the brush mechanic was improved, the art-style suffered an unfortunate downgrade for some reason. The Wii is more powerful than the PS2, so I was quite surprised to see that the awesome “paper” texture was missing from the Wii version. It’s not surprising that it’s also missing from Ōkamiden, Capcom’s next adventure in Nippon, the world in which Okami took place.
Preview: Ōkamiden
Since its initial debut at E3 last year, April and I have been waiting for an official release date for the first true follow-up to the beautiful water-color art inspired Ōkami. With the unique mechanic of turning the current screen into a canvas and using a water color brush to paint spells into the real world, it seems a perfect fit for Nintendo’s handheld. My only concern was the overall control, because that is where the Wii release had all of its issues.
Review: Yogi Bear The Video Game
I’m not a really big fan of Yogi Bear, nor do I understand how on earth somebody thought it was a great idea to make Yogi and Boo Boo into a live action movie featuring Dan Aykroyd as the voice of the title character. So I will just come right out and say it… Yogi Bear: The Video Game for the DS is not that bad. Really. Mind you, this game is geared towards the same kids that will enjoy the live action romp, and bear-ing that in mind I have found that the game will probably be pretty entertaining for them.
Review: Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light
Square Enix has a storied history in the world of RPGs and MMORPGs. From what was supposed to be the companies swan song, Final Fantasy has grown into a franchise that has featured full-length films, successful spin-offs, and has found a home on many major consoles. They have even started to remake some of their beloved games for the DS, but we have not seen an original Final Fantasy title for Nintendo’s little handheld, until now.
