Lessons Learned: Record of Agarest War

by Michael Camacho [ Monday, 17th of May 2010 - 02:34 PM ]

Have you ever been excited for a game's release, and somehow found a way to ruin the game experience due to your own mistake? I guess in my case, it's more stupidity than a mistake. What I am about to recount is how I went from being in Heaven to dragging myself through Hell in a matter of 10 days. This is my story on how my attempt to review Record of Agarest War went sour and the lessons I learned. As a gamer that is very keen on the import scene, I had heard of Record of Agarest War when it was first released in Japan in late 2007. I was intrigued by the reported dating aspects, the Soul Breeding the game touted and being able to play through story through multiple generations. Read More...

Review: Kick-Ass The Game

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Friday, 7th of May 2010 - 07:15 PM ]

The comic and film of this intellectual property have come and gone. Both spectacular in their own right. If you have yet to read or see either, do both. But what if you have done one or both already? Well did you know there is a video game version of Kick-Ass for the PSN and iPhone? There most certainly is. Why wouldn't there be, as merchandising is a great way to make more money off a great franchise. It is the capitalist way after all. Read More...

SEGA Embraces DRM For Alpha Protocol

by Brian Goodman [ Wednesday, 14th of April 2010 - 05:37 PM ]

SEGA, according to Eurogamer, has reported its intent to make use of the Uniloc DRM for its PC release of Alpha Protocol, despite past issues regarding the software. SEGA will be joining the growing group of publishers who have begun using intrusive authentication software in the name of protecting their PC releases. Since the inception of PC gaming publishers have been trying to find effective ways to balance protection against theft and unobtrusive gameplay experiences. How many people remember the funny picture wheel with older Lucas Arts games, or the frequently used “what’s the 4th word on the 9th line of page 36 of the manual” chestnut? Read More...

Dark Void Zero Goes Mobile.. and Flies to the PC Too

by Kevin [ Friday, 9th of April 2010 - 03:33 PM ]

This week, AggroGamer will be presenting a review for Dark Void, for a new series entitled, "Games You Missed, Which Might Not Be a Bad Thing." The first title to get this treatment will be the action title Dark Void that was developed by Airtight Games and published by Capcom for the PS3, 360 and PC on January 19, 2010. In the meantime, the more well received iteration of the game, Dark Void Zero will be headed to the iPhone and PC. This 8-bit title was celebrated for its controls and retro gameplay and graphics, and was often compared in a more favorable light to its big brother. Read More...

Shank Cometh

by Kevin [ Wednesday, 31st of March 2010 - 01:41 PM ]

I've been following Shank for a while now, and I've been consistently impressed by the visuals and the style of the game. It's like a 2D explosion of sweetly animated vengeance carefully marinated in some of the craziest violence that does not include a certain Devil Who May Cry or Dual Wielding Busty Librarian Clothed In Her Own Hair. Developed by Klei Entertainment, makers of such downloadable goodness as Eets and N+, Shank has action to spare. Here is Shank killing a giant butcher. Read More...

Mini Review: The Heavy Rain Chronicles: The Taxidermist

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Friday, 26th of March 2010 - 08:26 PM ]

So you played through Heavy Rain and seen all the endings, now what do you do? You could play around and just keep killing the hooker or store clerk for fun. You could try to find other ways to see Ethan off himself if Shaun dies. You could even replay the sex scene, that got no negative mention in the media, and see if you can glitch Madison to stay naked. Just to name a few things to do. You could do one of those options.

Kratos Is The Origami Killer?

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Friday, 19th of March 2010 - 06:10 PM ]

So God of War III has not even been out for three days and Sony Santa Monica already has yet another viral advertising campaign under way. Or at least it seems that way from the cryptic website that you are sent to when you finally Platinum God Of War III. It is titled nothing more than Spartans Stand Tall. What this could be is still up in the air. The only details being the splash page that shows a flash video loop of rain falling on what looks like Styx, the river not the band. Read More...

by Binh Nguyen [ Wednesday, 10th of March 2010 - 05:56 PM ]

The last time we heard anything about Shank was at PAX in Seattle, Washington where I claimed it to be the best game I played at PAX.

Sneaking You Some Shots Of Lara Croft

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 10th of March 2010 - 03:59 PM ]

Looks like Lara is no longer raiding tombs, at least in the title form of things. As can be seen in the latest in the Lara Croft stories, Lara Croft And The Guardian Of Light. Which is much better than other titles it could have been like Lara Croft And The Space Aliens That Crashed And Died On Earth And She Has To Take Her Son On An Adventure With Monkey. Not that catchy I know. But title is not the point here for this digitally distibuted game slated for this summer. Read More...

Review: Heavy Rain

by Brian Bentley [ Tuesday, 9th of March 2010 - 11:37 PM ]

To every person who has ever claimed that they are all about story over game play, be prepared to put your money where your mouth is. An ambitious title from start to finish, Heavy Rain will challenge you not only on your assertions, but possibly your morality and level of immersion as well. Whether you call it “interactive media,” a “story-driven game” or “Choose Your Own Adventure gone wrong,” Heavy Rain will intrigue you enough to play it and it will elicit a reaction whether it be for good or for ill. The story is in the not-to-distant future of a city gripped in fear of a kidnapper / serial killer. With little hope of catching the killer, the hysteria mounts as another victim is taken.

Trailer Week For Nintendo & Bungie

by Binh Nguyen [ Saturday, 6th of March 2010 - 09:05 PM ]

Halo and Metroid. Two major household names in the gaming industry. Well a few days ago Bungie and Nintendo released trailers for Halo: Reach multi-player and Metroid Other M. To be honest with you all, I thought the Halo trailer really spoke volumes on what the multi-player will be like with a few nice additions to the game. Metroid Other M on the other hand was a bit disappointing. Metroid is probably THE only game for me that I DO NOT want voice acting at all! Read More...

What Was Said About Heavy Rain?

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 24th of February 2010 - 02:38 AM ]

If you are not a die hard fan of a franchise, or overly excited about a new game franchise, you generally want to do some research before you shell out the $60 or so for a console game. It's why we reviewers and critics have a job still. So you can have someone else shell out the cash and take the time before you do. Even if there is a demo before hand. Well Heavy Rain is out now, so you can read some reviews online already, as well as the AggroGamer one soon. Read More...
