The Sony Factor

PlayStation 3 Games 2011
Sony’s done something I wouldn’t normally find interesting, taking time out to mention that there are plenty of games releasing exclusively for the PlayStation 3 this year, and taking space on the PlayStation Blog to point out what they are.

While titles like inFamous 2, Killzone 3 and The Last Guardian are a given, it’s really nice to see shout-outs for releases from NIS America, such as the next Ar tonelico title – and PixelJunk Shooter 2 is hanging in there, so maybe we’ll finally get to play that sometime soon.

If you’re wondering what to do with your PS3 this year you can hit the list up here.

Capcom at CES

Capcom CES 2011
Other late night CES news I didn’t notice while distracted features a release date for Capcom’s sequel to Bionic Commando Rearmed, which hits the PlayStation 3 on February 1, 2011 for $14.99 and the 360 a day later for 1200 MS Points.

Okamiden also gets some love with more art, video, and screens showing off another partner for Chibi, Kurow, along with a wind based mini-game as well as what appears to be a Chibiterasu jam session in the sky.

Okamiden is still set to hit the Nintendo DS on March 15, 2011.

Keeping Up With Grubbins

Costume Quest Grubbins on Ice
Costume Quest’s DLC retains everything from previous save files, making it easy to put a unicorn costume back on while also trying coveted battle stamps with the new costumes Grubbins on Ice offers. The DLC is an extension of Costume Quest so there isn’t anything new introduced in the gameplay – if you haven’t tried Double Fine’s downloadable trick or treat title as of yet, you may want to catch our original review.

The later PlayStation 3 release found me catching up with Grubbins on Ice during the Holiday break, and the DLC actually takes place during the winter as well. Everett and Lucy have been hypothesizing about the monsters they fought on Halloween night, and begin searching for tangible evidence, all of which leads to Lucy getting kidnapped after stumbling upon a receiver in the snow that opens up a portal – of course Everett, Wren and Reynold are left with no choice but to suit up and save her.

Your Recommended Dose of Hyperdimension Neptunia

Hyperdimension Neptunia
I’m earnestly not sure whether Idea Factory’s upcoming RPG will be my cup of tea or not, even given the console war tie-in.

But I know plenty of you are interested, and since NIS America offered up quite a bit of character art, it only seems right to share – so catch it below.

Demo Report – LittleBigPlanet 2

Filed under: Editorial Rants — Tags: Demo, Demo Report, lbp, lbp2, little big planet, Little Big Planet 2, LittleBigPlanet, littlebigplanet 2, Media Molecule, PlayStation 3, PlayStation3, PSN — Brad Johnson @ 8:43 am

LittleBigPlanet 2
We’re back with yet another demo report, this time covering Media Molecule’s LittleBigPlanet sequel, now 87% more lethal—like a sharpened sausage. Now featuring rocket helmets, grappling hooks, and horrifying cybernetic bunny vehicles, LBP2 is gearing up to be perhaps even more preposterous than its predecessor.

The demo begins with the same silly charm as the original; here you are, strange little sackperson, in your cardboard imagination pod, ready to take on the imagination superhighway. There are three story-mode stages ready for your examination; the first introducing players to the new grappling hook.

Your Wednesday Dose of Zen

Filed under: News Feed — Tags: 360, Arc System Works, Arcade, Arcana Heart 3, import, Japan, japanese, PlayStation 3, PlayStation3, XBOX — Jamie Love @ 2:07 pm

Arc System Works is bringing another dose of elaborately costumed female fighting to home consoles in Japan with Arcana Heart 3 hitting the 360 and PS3 there on January 13th.

I rather enjoyed the one dose available on the PlayStation 2 here, and at no extra charge gained an anecdote involving an gamestore employee convinced that surely Kingdom Hearts was what we meant to say, but no in fact, Hearts differ from Highlanders in that there can be more than one.

Demo Report – Mass Effect 2

Filed under: Editorial Rants — Tags: Bioware, Commander Shepard, Demo, Demo Report, EA, Electronic Arts, Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, ME2, PlayStation 3, PlayStation3 — Brad Johnson @ 9:19 am

Alongside other heavy hitters like Dead Space 2 and LittleBigPlanet 2, yesterday saw the release of the Mass Effect 2 demo on PSN. As the resident Mass Effect addict, I took it upon myself to acquire this mystifying new software package and convert its contents into a convenient text delivery for your purposes.

The demo provides PS3 players with a short video explaining the basic premise of the original game, and then moves on to the opening scenes of Mass Effect 2. From there you’ll enter the character creation suite, where you can fully customize your demo Shepard. It probably would have been easier to simply offer the default appearance for Shepard in the demo, but including the entire creation process is a smart choice; customization is a huge part of Mass Effect 2, and this feature goes a long way towards communicating that to potential PS3 players.
