The 21 new screenshots and gameplay trailer show off development team Project Aces giving a go at the online multiplayer mode. Online aerial dogfights have made several attempts at...
SoulCalibur's two most recognizable faces, Nightmare and Mitsurugi, go face to face in a brand new trailer for Namco Bandai's upcoming fighting game, Soul Calibur II HD Online. The game remains one of Namco's most popular and well received fighting efforts to date, but how do the graphics hold up a decade after its original release? While top of the pile at the time, it's hard to see...
Final Fantasy X might not be making the most graceful jump into HD, but the same is not true for Tales of Symphonia. This game must have been way back in 2003 built with foreknowledge on the possibilities of HD graphics. Tales of Symphonia is by no means the most technically looking game ever made, but its distinct style has always put it ahead of the rest from its time period. Llyod...
We’ll get this out of the way right now. Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z is not a tournament fighter. You won’t roll-forward and punching any Hadoukens or throwing down against your buddies mano y mano. Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z is an insane mission based action game with a heavy emphasis on flying, mashing combos and perfectly timing charge moves. With only one mission to play during my...
Namco Bandai is pulling out all the stops this year. Committing to the free-to-play model for what seems like a long term venture and pitching in to create the latest Super Smash Bros. is just the beginning of what one of Japan’s oldest gaming entities has to offer. The company is looking to dominate this year in its home country of Japan with a long list of impressive titles at TGS...
We’ve given a lot of love to Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z recently, so lets kick it old school with another Shonen Jump anime from the same time frame, Saint Seiya. The antique anime is falling in line with Japan’s recent trend of reviving old series through fighting games, and Saint Seiya: Brave Soldiers is the result. Like most licensed fighting games, this one is more about the flash...
Tales of Symphonia is jam packed with fun and lovable characters, each with their unique quirks to help them stand out from the crowd. Sheena was always one of my favorites when playing it on the GameCube back in the day. Why? Because who doesn't love sassy ninja girls? That's why. Granted, a cute purple outfit and magical cards are not the extent of her character. Sheena does not let...
The vote is still out for how Dark Souls II is going to work under a new Director with a desire to expand the audience. Those worried might want to jump aboard for free and give the game a test run before deciding on a purchase, and FromSoftware has just the answer. Publisher Namco Bandai has announced a closed beta test that will begin in Oct. for fans who want a hand in helping the...
Here is a series where all the glory lies in its past. If you point out any game in the SoulCalibur fighting lineup that fans will decide is the absolute best, you'll get an even split between the Dreamcast original and its follow-up, SoulCalibur II. SoulCalibur III, IV and V all have their fans and were obviously made by people who know how the fighting genre works. When it comes down...
Project Aces is bringing Ace Combat Infinity exclusively to the PlayStation 3 as a downloadable only title.
