So far, it’s been nothing from the SEGA Virtua Tennis 4 camp but PS3, PS3, PS3. Today, for the rest of us, we are treated to a trailer for the 360/Kinect! Granted, the first portion of the Kinect trailer shows them using…conventional controllers. But patience pays off, as Kinect play eventually appears! Read the full story

We’ve seen the exclusive content that will be available to PlayStation 3 users in Virtua Tennis 4. We’ve seen an official general trailer for the PlayStation 3 version of Virtua Tennis 4. Now, the meat-and-potatoes of the game, the World Tour mode, is getting a trailer of its own, and it looks like a whole boatload of fun. Read the full story

The Ghostbusters movies (yes, both of them) will never get old for me. I’ll watch them thirty years from now and still be entertained to no end with the masterfully told story of four men, a woman, another man, another woman, a baby, another man, a giant marshmallow-man, a Carpathian destroyer, an asshole, and a bunch of ghosts. I enjoyed the late-80s animated series at the time, but I’m not sure that it holds up today. Part of my enjoyment may have simply been that I was a child, and it was a Ghostbusters cartoon. More recently, I immersed myself in Ghostbusters: The Video Game (X360), referred to by Dan Akroyd as “essentially the third movie.” With script-editing done by Harold Ramis and Dan Akroyd, and voice talent provided by the original Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters: The Video Game provided an excellent link to the original property wrapped up in a beautifully designed game. Then news came out that a new Ghostbusters game would be released in March of 2011 (last month, for those not keeping track). Anticipation immediately took hold of me; another Ghostbusters game, on XBLA, that could carry Ghostbusters: The Video Game’s contribution to the property forward? Count me in! Read the full story

The first-person shooter genre has become the most prevalent type of game this generation, and every month we see a new crop of FPS games hit the shelves. While it is easy for most to get lost in the shuffle, certain games sail in on waves of expectation. Crysis 2 is the perfect example. The original game is still regarded as one of the best looking games around, even if the majority of people can’t run it on the highest settings. Crysis 2 is an attempt by Crytek to bring a similar overload to consoles, as well as expand the market for the Crysis franchise. While the attempt was certainly noble, what we see on screen fails to live up to any of the expectations.

Yesterday we got to see some of the exclusive content coming to the PlayStation 3 version of SEGA’s Virtua Tennis 4. As a note, I better be getting Agassi (I’ll also settle for McEnroe or Sampras) as an exclusive on my 360. Moving on, though, today we get to see gameplay footage of Virtua Tennis 4 as it will appear on the PlayStation 3. Read the full story

Virtua Tennis 4 hits the 360, PS3, Wii, and PC on May 10, 2011 (May 14, 2011 for EU). When that day comes, PS3 owners will get a great little handful of exclusive content not available to 360/Wii/PC players. I can only hope that the 360 gets similar treatment and receives its own set of exclusives, since I don’t have a PS3, but I’ll just have to wait and see what happens. I am desperately eager for this game to come out; with a little over a month still to go, time seems to be passing more and more slowly. Read the full story

Anyone who has made it through high school English should be familiar with Homers’ “The Illiad.” The epic poem detailing the Trojan War has been made in to countless adaptations on stage, in film, in comics and now, thank to Tecmo Koei, this generations of video games. Warriors: Legends of Troy takes gamers on a rather loosely interpreted trek through the Trojan country side, controlling various figures from The Illiad and Greek mythology while cleaving limbs from poorly outfitted citizens and the occasional hero. If this sounds like a formula Koei has followed before, well, you aren’t going to be surprised in the least.

You know, I don’t even know why I’m doing this. I’ve said everything about the game in my preview. It’s Tetris with guns. It’s fun. The only new info I have is that multiplayer is definitely fun and the single player is way too short. But I am obligated to give some more words to this game, so lets get this thing going on.

Are you man enough to be the world’s most bad ass exterminator? Are you man enough to look a spider the size of a Volkswagen Bus in the eye(s) and not even flinch? Are you man enough to withstand being in what is pretty much a copy of Starship Troopers? Because Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon thinks you are.
