This latest iteration, being from the PS1 era, remains my favourite version because nearly every single aspect has been modernized and beautified.

PS2 Classics Becoming Worthwhile With GTA
If you are a big PS3 user you are no doubt familiar with the PS2 classics section of the store. Well the ESRB has just let us know that the PS2 classics library is about to get 300% cooler. No release date has been given but both GTA3 and GTA: Vice City have been re-rated to include a PS3 version. GTA3 was recently re-released on iOS and it seems to have retained all of the fun and nostalgia from the original. No word on San Andreas but seeing as how GTA5 is on the way a...
Rumor: Is Sound Shapes Coming to PlayStation 3?
One of the most anticipated PlayStation Vita titles for 2012 is the music platformer Sound Shapes. It turns out PlayStation Vita owners might not be the only ones playing it this year. According to the game’s page on the PlayStation website, Sound Shapes is also coming to PlayStation 3. This could possibly be an error but if it is not, it makes total sense. Sound Shapes would look great on an HDTV and cloud saving could come into play here. The ability to...
Hands on with Journey: More Beautiful in Person
Journey is one of those unique games I get excited about. Doing something different from the rest of the pack. Showing that games can be more than FPS and RPG’s. Going even further passed that, that a game can be art and do so much with so little. From the controls to the main task of the game, everything is kept simple, enjoyable. thatgamecompany is set to create an experience you’ll be hard pressed to find anywhere else. At CES 2012 I was able to get sometime...
“Behind the Scenes” with Shoot Many Robots
Demiurge Studios first original title, Shoot Many Robots, is a 4 player co-op “run’ n gun RPG.” In a similar fashion to GoW 3 arcade mode, you’ll play cooperatively while trying to best your friends’ scores throughout each level. As the game progresses you’ll find and equip different weapons and armor, each with their own unique attributes. As for the RPG elements of the game, I believe the website itself describes it best : Killing robots...
Final Fantasy Origins Available On PSN
One of the longest running console RPG franchises bring us back to it’s roots with a new distribution of Final Fantasy Origins. Containing both Final Fantasy and the follow-up, Final Fantasy II, it’s a great deal at $9.99. I remember seeing this particular disc in game stores for $60 and up, I also remember thinking “I need this game!” This package of games is completely reworked from their original forms on the Nintendo Entertainment System, and is...
I Am Alive: Rules of Survival
The latest trailer of I Am Alive gives us a few hints as to what the gameplay will entail. We learn some simple things like “Dust is poison” and “Get out of it.” Then there are the more subtle things that we can look at like the Grappling Hook that is shown for a quick second. While climbing is sure to be a big part of this game the Hook brings up the thought of a item barred adventure game, like Castlevania, where you have to backtrack after receiving an item. The...
Amy Combat Gameplay
The developers show some combat from the upcoming game Amy.
No Amy, You Are The Zombie
Amy is shaping up to be a survival horror game like none other. Imagine you are trapped by ravenous monsters who want to kill you. Normally the best thing to do would be hunker down and try to stay out of sight until help arrives. But, what if you were also a zombie? No, this is not the next big internet fan-fiction, it is part of the plot of the upcoming game Amy. In Amy you will play as a girl named Lana who is living a nightmare. A meteor has struck earth spreading a...
Sonic CD: A Refresher Before Sonic 4 (Episode 2)
A port of the 1993 game will be released December 20th on PSN and Live right in time for the holidays. It is also available on IOS and other mobile devices. This intended to be the sequel to the Genesis hit “Sonic the Hedgehog” but it became heavier with exploring, platforming and time traveling. It was too different of a pace from what made the original successful, so Sega decided to make the Sonic we love and know in “Sonic The Hedgehog 2”. Sonic CD...
