Gangs of London hands-on

PSP Preview | Gangs of London

We've taken it for a spin once before, but we recently got a more in-depth look at Gangs of London, the driving/shooting spinoff of the British car-crime epic The Getaway. The new, portable game is soaked in the same Cockney flair as its console cousin, but as we quickly found out, this is more than just another Grand Theft Autoclone. Rather than two or three anti-heroes, Gangs of London focuses on five different gangs battling for control of London: the Morris Kane Firm (old-school English ...

E3 06: Gangs of London hands-on

PSP Preview | Gangs of London

You wouldn't know it from the title, but publisher Sony's upcoming drive-and-shoot crime actioner Gangs of London is actually descended from The Getaway, Sony's GTA -style action series for PS2. This time, however, the developers have done away with the pretense of playing as the good guys - instead of trying to clean up the streets, you're the ones doing the terrorizing. Actually, yes - that does say "ones" - it's plural. You don't just play as a single character. In fact, at any given ...

G-Force - hands-on

PSP Preview | G-Force

What's the result when you mix a Jerry Bruckheimer live-action extravaganza, a bit of CG magic, and adorable rodents? A bizarre question to be sure, but Disney will answer it this summer with G-Force, a family-friendly action flick starring a series of guinea pig secret agents. Smirk if you'd like, but kids love guinea pigs, and where there's scent of a new franchise that kids might go crazy over, you'd better believe Disney has a video game ...

Ghost Rider - hands on

PSP Preview | Ghost Rider

Oh, the strikes going against Ghost Rider. It's a game based on a movie based on a comic that stars an obscure, demonic hero. The movie's being released in the February dumping grounds, stars an aging Nicholas Cage as a rebellious acrobat biker (what casting!) and will have to find a way to make Cage's face melting into a fiery skull a serious, dramatic affair. How in all the hells of creation could this game stand a chance? By copying one of the most vicious action games of our time, God of ...

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra - first look

PSP Preview | G.I. JOE: The Rise of Cobra

Want to make a movie-based game that has a good chance at not sucking? Take a note from publisher Electronic Arts and developer Double Helix Games. Presented with the G.I. Joe license and a chance to make a game tying into the upcoming summer blockbuster movie, they could have attempted to make a brutal war epic, a dark third-person shooter, their version of Gears of War. Instead, they stuck to the spirit of the toys in creating The Rise of Cobra ...

God of War: Chains of Olympus - updated hands-on

PSP Preview | God of War: Chains of Olympus

If you've missed berserk Spartan sociopath Kratos since his last appearance in God of War II, take heart: the albino murder machine is stomping his way back into the spotlight on March 4, in God of War: Chains of Olympus for the PSP. Today, Sony sent us a near-finished version of the game, and after playing through a couple levels (hey, they're big), we've got a few things to share. ...

God of War: Chains of Olympus

PSP Preview | God of War: Chains of Olympus

Nov 28, 2007 With over a million copies of God of War II flying off the shelves and still climbing, its only a matter of time before Sony announces Kratoss blood-soaked third outing for PS3. Until then, weve got Chains of Olympus, a bite-sized beast exclusively for PSP that fleshes out Kratos past, charting events before PS2s God of ...

God of War: Chains of Olympus

PSP Preview | God of War: Chains of Olympus

When it was revealed that God of War was heading to PSP, fans went into an excited, cold sweat. This, after all, is the action game on PlayStation 2 right now. Better news was to come when Sony revealed that its new star developer Ready At Dawn was coding the game - Daxter is still one of the best platform games on any console. After such promise, the biggest compliment we can pay Chains of Olympus is that it plays exactly like the two God of War games on PS2. Granted, not the most memorable ...

Godzilla Unleashed - first look

PSP Preview | Godzilla: Unleashed

All guy-in-rubber-suit jokes aside, who wouldn't want to be the title titan in a Japanese giant monster movie? You get to stomp around, belch laser beams, munch on some people or maybe a nuclear reactor, and demolish every single thing in your path as you defend your hood from other 200-ton freaks of nature. Then, some toy company makes an action figure that looks like you. What's not to love? This basic philosophy looks to be proven true by the latest in publisher Atari's line of monster ...
