Shrouded in secrecy for almost two years, we can’t quite believe how open everyone is about Godfather II. The game is being developed in the heart of EA at the romantically named Redwood Shores just outside San Francisco. The name alone conjures up images of a relaxed life, a sun-soaked resort and a place to escape the stresses of modern life. Like EA’s new-found approach to gaming, Redwood Shores is a fantasy.
The next time someone says that they’ve got ‘fond memories’ of the original Golden Axe (or look at you in all seriousness and claim that it was “really good”) remember to tell them in the kindest possible way to stick it.
It was bad enough you could complete it using the same move over and over, but it was made worse by the fact that the only long-term amusement to be had was seeing how far you can get
At Sega’s gamer’s day soiree on Wednesday we got to see a whole slew of games in rapid succession, sometimes getting a hands-on, and sometimes just sitting back and watching someone else play (always the best way to experience a game - that was sarcasm, by the way). Golden Axe: Beast Rider, unfortunately, was not a hands-on. A chance to sever limbs ourselves may have changed our general sense of being underwhelmed, although
It's taken a while, but Activision has finally seen sense and is redoing the original N64 classic, GoldenEye 007. Well, it's still trying to massage some new things into the mix, but not enough to make it turbo-crap, like say giving the lead character a golden eye that can levitate things. Hello EA!
Most gamers have fond memories of playing Goldeneye on the Nintendo 64. It was, after all, the first big multiplayer shooter on consoles – and one that brought gamers together for four-player split-screen action time and time again. Since it hit shelves in 1997 fans have clamored for remakes and rereleases, and in 2010 their wish was finally granted... on the Wii. Now, just one year later, Goldeneye’s Wii reimagining is being remade in HD for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, bringing the classic shooter up to the modern generation for the first time. We recently had a chance to get some hands-on with the game’s multiplayer offerings, seeing exactly what makes this new HD version different from the one that released on the Wii last year...
Gotham City Impostors is weird. Not in a bad way necessarily, because it’s a perfectly solid shooter, but it’s certainly going to have to justify its existence to a lot of Batfans out there. After all, why put out a Batman game without Batman?!
Batman isn’t exactly known for his sense of humor. He’s known for beating the hell out of the Joker, who is most certainly known for his ability to crack a joke. His name is the Joker after all. That’s why Gotham City Impostors feels a bit, well, wrong. It embraces humor in a way that Bats would almost certainly not...
