Listen, we thought we were just gonna kick some people in the balls. We didnt realize there were going to be financial considerations to worry over in Jackass. But thats the burden youre forced to bear when you take over as the shows producer after Jeff Tremaine (the regular producer) gets taken out of commission with what Johnny Knoxville calls “a sprained vagina.”
But dont be too scared. All youre really worried about is completing enough goals per episode so that MTV will dip
Jade Empire is very much a case of 'what's not to like?', this being the second Xbox title from the developers of KOTOR. For one it plays in very similar fashion to the Star Wars classic, but with real-time martial arts and magical combat replacing turn-based light sabre shenanigans. And for two, it's broadly inspired by some of the highlights of Oriental cinema, such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Hero. See, what's not to like?!Once you've selected your character and been introduced to
One of the most popular and critically acclaimed RPGs for the Xbox is headed to the PC in Jade Empire. Set in a mystical version of China (but crafted by Canadians), the game offered a fantastic story populated by colorful characters speaking excellent dialogue and mixed it with deep gameplay full of magic, monsters, and martial arts. The PC version brings all these qualities as well, while managing to bring the kung-fu chaos to a whole new level.
As you'd expect, the graphics are the most
Hang on a minute. So were the last of an embattled group of mystical fighters, killed off by the forces of an evil empire, yet as a baby we were smuggled away and secreted far off to a rural community where our presence would not be felt? And weve been sent by our master into a ‘spirit cave where well learn about our true self, and later be spoken to by glittery blue/pale ghosts trapped between life and death? This rings a bell thats somewhat far away and relatively long
While Lombax-loving gamers have already received a second retail release starring Sony's other dynamic duo, fans of the eco-hunting hero and his ottsel sidekick haven't received a game since 2004's Jak III. Oh sure, there was Jak: Combat Racing in 2005 (doesn't count) and the Jak-less PSP exclusive Daxter (nope, doesn't count, either) the following year.
Jak & Daxter dropped ten years ago. Yes, you're either thinking back on that reminiscing on your childhood, or you just got really depressed. Either way, this is your reminder that The Jak & Daxter Collection is around the corner. What you're watching is a quick rundown of Jak III and Jak III in glistening 720p, complete with audio commentary from associate producer Victor Harris from Sony Computer Entertainment America.
This is the end, my furry friend, the end. The end of Jak, the end of Daxter, the end of the Precursors, their legacy and all this pretty platform violence. For after this game the trilogy is over and just like Crash, J and D will be slung out of Naughty Dog and left for any rival developers going through their bins. (Sniff.)But what a way to go Jak 3 should be; big beyond belief, sumptuously detailed, far more anarchic and open than any previous PS2 platformer. If Renegade was like Blade
Text-y point-and-click adventure games are making a comeback on Nintendo's can-do handheld. With hits like Ace Attorney and Hotel Dusk along with lesser titles like Touch Detective, the time is right for solving mysteries on the DS, which makes room for some very obscure, if long running, titles to be localized for the first time. That brings us to Jake Hunter: Detective Chronicles, the first US release of a Japanese detective series that is more than 20 years old.
Thanks to Daniel Craig's brutal, fists-first reappraisal of everyone's favorite MI6 agent in Casino Royale, 007 is back in a big way. Guys love him, critics love him, even rogue banker Le Chiffre seemed to like him... while torturing his nutsack with a leather mace. But, after forking out a rumored $70 million for the rights to the license (to kill), it's fair to say that Activision probably love him more than most.
Well, at that price they have
Five minutes into this prequel to the forthcoming sci-fi flick and we feel like we’re in one of the year’s most generic games. As we step off our transport into the alien planet Pandora, all the elements are in place for a generic third-person shooter. Main character who's a stoic military type with a crew cut: check. NPCs we have to seek out for missions: Oh yeah. A 40 foot monster that looks like a mad scientist has forced a hammerhead
