Games Cheats and Reviews

Jim Sterling @ Destructoid writes: "With the Steel & Titanium downloadable map pack freshly launched for Killzone 2, you may be tempted to dip back into the online waters of this fine PlayStation 3 title. A while ago we provided a handy guide advising you how to not look like a dickhead in Gears of War 2, and with Killzone 2 providing a very active online community that you can look like a dickhead in front of, it would be wrong of us to not produce yet another informative and useful guide."

Kombo Writes: "The Wii has not really made a reputation for itself as a "core" gaming console. That’s not to say that there aren’t such games available; there are in fact some fantastic games for the console. Of course, a number are from Nintendo themselves, while it seems that third-parties have found themselves struggling to pull in the numbers they see on other platforms with traditional games, minus a few exceptions here and there. "

"I was overtaken by excitement, one of my all-time favorite fighting games was coming to the PSN, and this week a demo was being released in the PS Store. Patiently I await the PS Store weekly update until finally it’s live. The update finally arrives, and I proceed to download. More patiently waiting while the 198MB demo downloads and installs.

Yay! The Marvel Vs. Capcom demo is finally here… Oh wait…"

"An ugly court action is underway and it involves a pair of video game titans.

On Tuesday Valve filed suit against Activision Blizzard in U.S. District Court in Seattle. The suit alleges that Activision refused to honor an agreement to abide by an arbitrator’s April 6th award decision involving a 2002 dispute over royalties.

The arbitrator in that case awarded Valve $2,391,932, an amount that Valve says is less than it sought, but which it will accept because both parties agreed to be bound by the arbitration process.

Activision, however, challenged the award, claiming that Valve had been overpaid by $424,136 in years past."

GrE writes, "Coming from the mind of Tim Schafer and Double Fine Productions, Brutal Legend is a 3rd person Action/Metal adventure. Rich in combat, imagery and storytelling, Brutal Legend looks to deliver lighter-flicking fun that, in the words of the developer, "is sure to melt your face clean off." Take a peak at all Brutal Legend has to offer, we’ll keep the melting of faces for the full review."

PS Blog: "Hey, everyone. It’s time again for the weekly PlayStation Store update.

Fighting fans, be sure to check out this week’s free MARVEL VS. CAPCOM 2 Demo, exclusive to PSN!"

GamesAreEvil writes, "The Tiger Woods golf franchise has been popular for many years, but none expected it to reach the levels of success that is has achieved on the Nintendo Wii. Using the Wii’s intelligent "waggle" based interface, the game has found a natural home on the platform. It has been so popular, in fact, that over the last two years the Wii version has sold better than its counterparts on both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Not only is this an exciting development for the series, but it is a value add for the much larger Nintendo fan base. Adding Disc Golf support to every course must have been a huge undertaking. Check out the video explaining the new mode in depth…"

So Master Chief is this super human, bio-engineered man meant to be bigger, faster, stronger and more badass than any other soldier around. He has an awesome super-suit with shields and all kinds of cool stuff like having a "smart" AI living in his suit and talking in his head. He’s freaking crazy and commands the respect of military officers (even if they are fake) of ranks far about him (like an Admiral).

The Tiger Woods golf franchise has been popular for many years, but none expected it to reach the levels of success that is has achieved on the Nintendo Wii.  Using the Wii’s intelligent “waggle” based interface, the game has found a natural home on the platform.  It has been so popular, in fact, that over the last two years the Wii version has sold better than its counterparts on both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

This year, developers decided to give a little back to Wii gamers, buy adding in a unique new gameplay mode, Disc Golf.  EA’s press release lets slip the following details:

Exclusive to Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 10 on the Wii, Disc Golf allows fans to trade in their golf clubs for a new way to play all championship courses featured in the game. Imagine trying to take on the famous island green on hole 17 at TPC Sawgrass with a disc! Featuring support with the Wii MotionPlus accessory, Disc Golf brings the family-fun sport into your living room.

Not only is this an exciting development for the series, but it is a value add for the much larger Nintendo fan base. Adding Disc Golf support to every course must have been a huge undertaking. Check out the video explaining the new mode in depth:

Personally, I cannot wait to get my hands on this game. During my college years I played quite a bit of Disc Golf, so this is a no-brainer for me. EA Sports has managed to transform a game that I was mildly interested in, into something that is a Day 1, instant purchase.  Now I need to get out on the course and practice a little.  June will be here before you know it.  FORE!!!

While these screenshots for Tekken 6 on the PSP (understandably) don’t look as ridiculously good as the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game, they’re still looking pretty smart, considering the comparative hardware being used.
