The original Gears of War is mostly a take it or leave it kind of game. With all the hype surrounding it, many were turned off by its less-than-revolutionary gameplay. Still, those people were obviously in the minority as the game sold a ton and helped cement the Xbox 360’s position ahead of the PS3 for a while to come (no such luck with the Wii).
The original Motorstorm was an oddly controversial title. Odd because who ever considers racing games controversial? Still, Sony managed to make it just that by over hyping and delivering a disappointing demo that wasn’t quite up to the finished product.
Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe might not have won fans over initially with its concept, but it looks to be getting there. First, was the confirmation that there will indeed be blood within the game. Now you can finally realize that fantasy of pummeling a bloody Superman. Second, there’s this new render of Scorpion which appears to be from in-game. It’s slick and his bone mask looks very cool. Maybe there could be hope for this match made in Hell after all? Click the image for a full sized version.
The powers that be over at 30 Rock (namely Tina Fey) have finally revealed the title for their “world’s first” porn video game. The title? Gorgasim: The Legend of Dong Slayer. Yes, it has a that certain catchy vibe that just never lets you forget it once you’ve heard it–no matter how hard you try.
Think of Mirror’s Edge as the video game version of the chase scenes from the recent remake of Casino Royale. Or, you know, the chase scenes from the Bourne films…if there already weren’t a game. Whatever you think of it, just realize it’s one of the most interesting looking games to come along in a while. The developers seem fairly self-assured that they’ve finally conquered the problem of jumping in a first-person title. Regardless, they do know how to cut an exciting trailer that mixes some Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time with the previously mentioned films.
Let’s just clear the air right from the start–Baseball Mogul 2009 is not for the arcade crowd. It’s a stats-loving geek’s dream come true, but it will likely not appeal to most fans of baseball video games. That being said, those that do fall within its target demographic will find a very enjoyable game with a few unfortunate stumbles.
As noted, the Baseball Mogul series is for those who subscribe to Baseball Weekly, or are just really into fantasy baseball leagues. It’s essentially the franchise mode of any console baseball game without the excitement of occasionally stepping up to the plate. Instead, the excitement comes from a well done trade or watching a draft pick make their way from the single A ball all the way to a starting spot in the majors.
