Ace Combat X screen blast (Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception)

13/10/2006

After 10-plus years of dominating the console flight market, Ace Combat is coming to PSP in just a couple of weeks. From our time with the title, we can say fans won't be disappointed by the series' portable conversion - multiplayer dogfights only sweeten the deal. As for today, we've got a splash of new screens and a sweet intro movie.

Group warfare (Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception)

29/06/2006

As beloved as the Ace Combat series may be, we can't help but wonder why it's still not online. Who wouldn't want to hop in the cockpit of a sound-barrier-shattering fighter jet and spray missiles across the countryside? Well, that desire may be relieved somewhat by Ace Combat X's newly announced multiplayer modes. Two-player split screen's been done in the franchise already, but Ace X will offer five different four-player ways to smoke your friends out of the sky. The most interesting appears ...

Pre-E3 06: Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception (Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception)

9/05/2006

There's only been one handheld Ace Combat game in the series' 11-year history. It was for the Game Boy Advance, and was basically an overhead, bland-athon shooter. With the console-level power of the PSP, it looks like we may finally get to experience the same rabid-dogfight intensity of the PS2 Combats - shrunk down to a smaller scale, of ...

Ace followers already know that the series is the flight game to beat - nail-biting dogfights, sci-fi twists and authentic, licensed airplane action have made each entry a mid-air cluster of adrenaline. ...

31/08/2006

Publisher Activision is digging into its library once again this Halloween with Activision Hits Remixed, a PSP compilation of more than 40 classic Atari 2600 games. We've just received a handful of new screens for the collection; showing classics such as Pitfall, River Raid and Atlantis, they're… well, they're Atari 2600 screens, albeit "remixed" for the PSP's wide screen. Luckily, Remixed is more than just a collection of relatively ancient (if still enjoyable) games - while the titles ...

Why Would A Publisher Want To Release A GameStop Exclusive Game? (Adventures to Go)

21/10/2009

Spencer at Siliconera - A reasonable question since greater retail distribution should yield more sales. And yet, a selection of niche titles are only available at GameStop.

By the end of this month, Natsume will have shipped two GameStop exclusives this year, Harvest Moon: Magical Melody (the Wii version) and Adventures to Go.

Why did Natsume go this route? I asked Graham Markay, Vice President of Operations at Natsume, to elaborate the benefits of being a GameStop exclusive.

PlayStation LifeStyle writes, "In just over a week, PlayStation LifeStyle will be reporting live from the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). We've been trying to get a handle on the plethora of PlayStation games that will be on display from June 2 through June 4, and it's quite astounding. If you weren't excited about the prospect of new announcements for the PlayStation brand, what if we told you there will be over 75 unique PlayStation games on display - that we know about?!

After Burner: Black Falcon - multiplayer hands-on (After Burner: Black Falcon)

13/02/2007

It struck us as kind of weird when we first heard that publisher Sega had handed off its classic After Burner franchise to Planet Moon, the oddball developer behind Infected, Armed and Dangerous and Giants: Citizen Kabuto. And now we've seen the result of that decision: cow-themed jet fighters with giant, milk-spraying udders. Granted, the cow jets are just part of After Burner: Black Falcon's "Mad Cow" deathmatch mode, in which one player becomes the Mad Cow (hence the new paintjob) and ...
