Dracula X Chronicles - interview (Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles)

Aug 15, 2007

Konami has always been one of the PSP's strongest supporters, and nowhere is that more evident than in their upcoming remake/compilation release, Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles. We had the opportunity to speak with Konami's own Ken Ogasawara, longtime Castlevania localization producer who has been working side-by-side with Koji "Castlevania Mastermind" Igarashi in the production of this title. We came away with a few very interesting insights into the past, present, and future of the ...

Castlevania: the mega-interview (Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles)

Mar 12, 2007

Thanks to Game Developers Conference taking place in San Francisco last week, we were able to score a rare chance to sit down with Koji "IGA" Igarashi, the current producer of the Castlevania series. Though he was more than prepared to discuss the upcoming Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles for the PSP, we managed to tease details on the future of the series, namely its next generation installment, out of him. Keep reading to find out the most comprehensive, up-to-date Castlevania ...

Chili Con Carnage Q&A (Chili Con Carnage)

Oct 31, 2006

Tuesday 31 October 2006 Denmark-based developer Deadline surprised us all last year with Mexico-based shooter Total Overdose. Now the team is working on Chili Con Carnage for PSP, a remix of its sombrero-juggling, gun-toting actioner - Soren Lund, the game's director and producer, ran us through their recipe book. You've promised the most explosions and takedowns per second of any PSP title. How have you made sure the game will live up to that boast? At Deadline we establish a mantra or ...

Bestselling crap (Coded Arms)

Jun 26, 2007

In general, we think you've got pretty good taste in games. You've made massive successes of stellar franchises like Ratchet & Clank, The Elder Scrolls and Katamari Damacy. You tend to like the things we like, and that's part of why we enjoy writing for you and telling you about all the cool games we think you'll get excited about playing. Sometimes, though, you ignore our advice, which breaks our hearts a little. It's bad enough when you do it by passing up kickass experiences like Okami or ...

The Top 7... games we want announced at E3 (Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII)

Jul 13, 2008

It's everyone's favorite time of the year again, when thousands of overcaffeinated journalists descend upon E3 with their live-blogged, 2000-word diatribes on the most minor of details. The objects of their unending speculation? The biggest games of the show, which, oddly enough, have been known to the gaming press for months and will surprise literally no one.

That's why we're interested in games that haven't been seen, announced or ...

TalkRadar HQ (Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII)

May 19, 2008

Pretty much everyone has a podcast these days, from the biggest websites all the way down to 13-year-old kids blogging about their lousy cafeteria food. While the trials and tribulations of 7th grade might seem interesting to some, wouldn't you rather hear about games that aren't out yet? Or what it's like to work in the dizzyingly fast games industry? Or genuine, spirited conversations with other gamers, editors and special guest stars, all in less than an hour? ...

The Top 7... games that don't deserve nostalgia (Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII)

May 12, 2008

You know that heartwarming sensation you get while remembering games of yesteryear? The one that makes you ponder, "Why aren't games this good nowadays?" It's a lie. It's a childhood veil that, once lifted, exposes how shitty some of your favorite games were all along. They didn't just sour with age - they were never that fun, you just put up with them because there was no better alternative.

Metroid, for example, is fairly crap by ...

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII - Mission Survival Guide! (Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII)

Apr 18, 2008

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII is undoubtedly one of the best PSP games we've ever played. Getting through the game's story mode is a breeze for most players. Completing the game's optional missions, on the other hand, is another story. While they start off relatively easy, the missions get pretty difficult towards the end of the game. Here's a list of tips and strategies that will help you achieve "100%" on the mission counter while ...
