Kung-Fu LIVE is somewhat of an oddity for the videogames community at present. Both Microsoft and Sony have recently launched their own unique motion-control devices on their respective console formats, and yet here is a game that crosses the divide. The PlayStation Move may offer you enhanced motion-controller precision, and Kinect full-body motion-control, but here is a game that proposes to do the latter on the host system of the former. An interesting prospect then, to say the least.
Doublesix Studios’ Top Gun is now available on PlayStation Network and Steam, and comes to market with a fair amount of expectation. The Guildford-based team is carving itself a respectable reputation for delivering perfectly formed downloadable entertainment packages, with Burn! Zombie! Burn! and South Park: Let’s Go Tower Defense Play! both having received their fair share of praise, but more than this is the pedigree behind the videogame adaptation of Maverick and Goose’s rise through the ranks at the Fighter Weapons School.
Having originally debuted in 1987, the After Burner series is one of SEGA’s most beloved Arcade franchises. Yu Suzuki’s follow-up to the critically-acclaimed Space Harrier, After Burner is similar in many respects, but managed to attract a wider audience due to its real-world setting. It’s surprising then, that while Space Harrier is often fondly referred to by all corners of the industry and has benefited from many sequels, while After Burner has been left without a new title since for over a decade.
With Relentless Software delivering engrossing entertainment in the first two episodes of their Blue Toad Murder Files series – Little Riddle’s Deadly Dilemma and The Mystery of Riddle Manor – there was never any doubt that the third in the series, The Mystery of the Concealing Flame, would continue the saga at the same calibre and the developers did not disappoint. Not only is The Mystery of the Concealing Flame put together to the same high standard, the third episode is undoubtedly worth downloading as it is offered as free when purchased with the first two, making it all the more rewarding and its predecessors all the better value for money.
As the second episode in Relentless Software’s Blue Toad Murder Files Episode 2: The Mystery of Riddle Manor has less to prove than its predecessor. The PlayStation 3 hardcore will undoubtedly have made up their minds about the series after the first instalment, and those continuing to follow the investigations of the Blue Toad Detective Agency will already know much of what to expect from the second instalment. But that doesn’t mean Relentless are about to rest on their laurels, as The Mystery of Riddle Manor aims to provide a number of inventive new puzzles to accompany the intriguingly twisted plotline.
December 2009 saw developers Relentless Software branching out on their own with their first self-published game, Blue Toad Murder Files for the PlayStation 3. Relentless have previously enjoyed huge success with Buzz!, the infamous Jason Donavon touting quiz game that has, to date, surpassed over eight million sales. With such a successful track record, Blue Toad Murder Files has much to prove. An episodic murder mystery series, a new episode is available to buy each month via the PlayStation Store.
Taking a break between retail releases to deliver their first downloadable title on PlayStation Network, Artificial Mind & Movement’s (A2M) Revenge of the Wounded Dragons is now available across Europe. Featuring a modern visual style and a renovation of the old school 2D Platform gameplay, Revenge of the Wounded Dragons is another title digging-up previously ploughed soil in the hope of discovering new treasures.
Atomic Elbow’s Switchball has taken it’s time coming to the European PlayStation Store, and as a product of that delay it appears that Sony Online Entertainment have taken on the publishing duties. Though having been available on Xbox LIVE Arcade and PC for some time, this PlayStation Network launch represents a polished version of the game; not quite a “directors cut” perhaps, but certainly a smoother ride.
After its’ initial release on Xbox LIVE Arcade, Eiconic’s Polar Panic has arrived on the European PlayStation Network, courtesy of Valcon Games. The Puzzle game in which the player becomes a Polar Bear and outsmarts Globoco Inc.’s trappers with alarming regularity, Polar Panic proved to be a refreshing challenge of your ability to think logically, and now we have the opportunity to find out whether it manages to compliment the PlayStation 3’s downloadable catalogue in as fitting a fashion.
Alawar Entertainment’s latest console release, Hyperballoid HD, is now available throughout Europe exclusively on PlayStation Network. With an incredibly low price-tag and very immediate action, Hyperballoid HD presents itself as a quick gaming snack between this year’s big gaming meals – and comes at just the right time to make an impact in exactly that capacity.
