Sonic Colors Hands-On

Posted on October 8, 2010 by geelw

While Sonic Team has had its ups and downs with Sega's world-famous hedgehog, Sonic Colors shows that they're back in rare form with an amazing game experience no Sonic fan should miss. The fantastic use of color and detail (truly amazing for the Wii), blistering speed and wide range of amusement park (in space!) level designs make the game not only immediately accessible, but one of those titles you'll want to play over and over once you get your hands on it. My brief hands-on time was definitely exciting, as the game was easy to pick up and play, but far from the simple kid's game you're probably expecting.

Little "Dog" Lost at NYCC!

Well, maybe not exactly lost in the “missing” sense, as I recall reading that some canines are fatally allergic to peanut butter (note to Capcom: oops). Anyway, call that number if you see anything small, white and wolfy in your area. Or call it if you don’t – the short message you’ll hear is cute.

Oh yeah, Okamiden was playable on the show floor in trail version form and it’s spectacularly good…

Dead Space Extraction (PS3) Hands-On

Posted on October 8, 2010 by geelw

At EA's well-packed Naughty or Nice event, I finally got to play a small chunk of the PS3 version of Dead Space Extraction, last year's Wii rail shooter (and one of the best looking games for Nintendo's console to date) headed to PS3 owners as part of Dead Space 2: Limited Edition. Visceral Games along with super-talented developer Eurocom (Goldeneye 007) have done an excellent job porting over their game to Sony's console, adding Playstation Move support and effective Dolby Surround sound to go along with the higher resolution visuals. In case you haven't played Extraction previously, all you need to know is that it's the prequel to the original Dead Space and features a compelling story, some intriguing characters and fast-paced gameplay that's packed full of Necromorphs coming at you from every conceivable direction.
