Gaming's most incestuous soundtracks (Feature)

Aug 12, 2009

From its inception, the idea behind Week of Geek has been “as niche as possible.” To some, an article about videogame music is obscure enough, but as an ardent fan of all things VGM, I wanted to truly geek out and talk about game music that references other game music. ...

Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins Hits PSN (News)

Aug 7, 2009

There are difficult games and then there are difficult games. I'm not talking difficulty that you can manage at some point(s), like God of War or Ninja Gaiden (Xbox). I'm talking about difficulty that causes you to physically abuse… well, everything in plain sight.

Ghosts 'n Goblins is one of those games that tests your patience and hasty reflexes as you battle your way through zombies, demons, boogeymen, and whatever the hell else the game throws at you, in an attempt to – get ready for this people – rescue a princess. I'm pretty sure that 99.9% of you out there are familiar with this NES classic and will be glad to read that the Ultimate version – which was released on UMD disc for the PSP in 2006 – will be available on PSN… for the PSP… for a second time (only this time, it's a download).

Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins (Review)

Aug 29, 2006

Wanna get your ass kicked by a video game? Look no further than Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins. This update of the classic arcade series adds some modern RPG and adventure elements to the mix, but backs it up with the hard-as-nails action that the series has always been loved (and hated) for. In fact, Ultimate is easily the hardest GnG yet. If you can get used to the turbulence, though, it proves to be a pretty fun little ride. As usual, you play the stalwart knight Arthur, who double-jumps gaps ...

Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins hands-on (Preview)

Jul 26, 2006

We've finally had a chance to run through Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins, the updated-for-PSP revival of the classic, side-scrolling Ghosts 'n Goblins/Ghouls 'n Ghosts series, and we're just going to come right out and say it: this game mopped the floor with us. It's hard to explain why Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins is so tough, especially considering that - by the standards of the series' legendary difficulty - this is set up like a baby game. As the brave knight Sir Arthur, players are given plenty ...

Ultimate Ghosts 'n' Goblins (Preview)

Jul 19, 2006

Wednesday 19 July 2006 Fear has long been regarded as the series' lifeblood, but thanks to a ballsy shift in the balance of player abilities versus intensity (by which we mean the player has sharper claws while the game remains malicious), Ultimate Ghosts 'n' Goblins finally offers a chance to be intrepid rather than scared. You can still wage that traditional war of attrition if you want, stumbling through a thousand continues before collapsing over the finish line. But given that the timing ...

New shots of Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins (News)

May 4, 2006

The first time we played Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins, it threw us for a loop (as noted in our preview). Put simply, this is one of the best-looking, best-playing PSP games we've seen so far, and it's packed with enough new features to keep old-school fans from feeling they've done it all before. To give you another look at the monsters and hazards you'll face as Sir Arthur this September, we've tossed up a few new screens for your perusal. Click the thumbnails at lower right for a closer ...

Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins (Preview)

Apr 14, 2006

This ghoulish, side-scrolling action title has a very simple premise - you're a knight given the task of running constantly to the right (and sometimes up), fending off the fangs, claws and death touches of a metric ton of creepy-crawlies. You start out in a full suit of armor, but each time an enemy hits you with its death touch, you lose some. Eventually, you're re-slaying the undead while wearing only heart-covered boxer shorts and a beard. That's the basic set-up, as it has been since this ...

Mar 17, 2006

Bottomless pits, flying enemies your weapon can't reach and a hero that can't course-correct in midair. The classic 2D platform action game Ghosts 'n Goblins, in all of its incarnations, has been brutal. Everyone used to love 'em, but times change. Most gamers aren't looking for punishment like this anymore. Fortunately, Capcom has noticed the sea change. The new game retains everything that made Ghosts 'n Goblins exciting in the first place, while adding stuff like a life meter to make the ...

Ghouls 'n' Ghosts spooks PSP (News)

Feb 28, 2006

We've got the latest shots of a Capcom contribution to PSP in form of Extreme Ghouls 'n' Ghosts, a revamped version of its classic 2D action game, directed by the original's creator Tokurou Fujiwara. As always, it stars intrepid knight Arthur as he battles and hops his way through legions of lance-wielding evil creatures. The game has maintained its fierce difficulty but there are a few differences, such as Arthur's ability to shoot down while jumping in the air, haul himself up on to ledges ...

The PSP games you have to own (Feature)

Feb 26, 2006

Impressive as PSP has been so far, this is the year it really takes off. Some very big titles are coming, but not all of the most promising stuff is high-profile. At least, not yet. So take a look through this top 10 and make some notes. You really don't want to miss out. Tomb Raider: Legend By Eidos | Out May 9, 2006 Legend is gorgeous for a PS2 game, and almost as gorgeous running on the diminutive PSP (we're not guessing; we know). Better still, beneath the striking looks lies a Tomb ...
