OoOoOo, the pretty sounds match the pretty colors, and it is a puzzle, sweet!
Have you played a really gratifying puzzle game lately. Well here is your chance. Go ahead an get yourself some PlaystationNetwork points and go ahead and download this game, HD Auditorium. You will certainly not regret this game. From the start it jumps right into the puzzle and you have to figure out that the have to fill these bars with light to get some really good sounds of it all. You will have to trust me on this one and try it for yourself. It is a really good time.
‘Auditorium HD is a visual and auditory puzzler that taps into the wonderment of discovery. Sure, it’s not much to look at from the outside, but once I delved into it, I was captivated. Each new tool is introduced at just the right pace, and the skills you pick up are all taught so intuitively that Auditorium is approachable for anyone who’s willing to do a little experimentation. The included puzzles are sure to challenge anyone, but don’t go into it with the goal of just blowing through them all at light speed. The solutions are fun, but the getting there – the manipulation of light and sound – is the real core of the experience.’ ~ IGN

Feel like dancing tonight, then dance your way to buying this game.
With over 11 years of history, DanceDanceRevolution comes to the PS3 for the first time integrating PlayStation Move! In addition, DanceDanceRevolution Wii comes back bigger and better bringing fitness, free movement and fun to a whole new level for all DanceDanceRevolution fans.
”DanceDanceRevolution is a fine purchase for those that feel the urge to stomp their feet to glowing arrows, but the gameplay hasn’t changed dramatically over the years. The inclusion of Move support and other specialized modes makes this dance experience a well-rounded and ultimately enjoyable one, but it won’t usher in a new legion of DDR fans considering the game’s excellent competition.’ ~IGN

Will it be as good as the movie, you Tron fans decide…
Evolution is an epic adventure set in a massive digital world filled with high-mobility disc-based combat and advanced light cycles. Set during the era between the two TRON films, TRON: Evolution conveys the story of significant events within the TRON mythology.
“TRON: Evolution is barely a TRON game. It’s a repetitive cyberpunk Prince of Persia. The platforming and combat are flashy, but both feel awkward to control and get really competitive. All the cool things you’d expect in a TRON game are restricted to the limited multiplayer modes. If you’ve got 10 people you can play some fun multiplayer games, but there are only a half dozen maps including the day one DLC. If you want to find out what happens between the two films, then you at least get a bit of a story here. And if the developers keep expanding the multiplayer with DLC like they’re already doing then this game could be worth a purchase eventually. But right now TRON feels like a movie cash in game more than the next step in a classic gaming franchise.” We give this one 2.5 stars out of 5 stars.
Get out your PlaystationNetwork Point because this is a good one for all you Marvel fans out there. If you ever played pinball games when you was much younger or even if you didn’t this one will have you coming back for more. This game was so addicting it had me coming back for more every time I played it. You certainly want to download this one, it is well worth what you pay for.
“Marvel Pinball is a great add-on to an already excellent experience. If you grew up with pinball machines, this will no doubt recapture a love long lost with the collapse of arcades. If you never had the chance to experience pinball, now is as good a time as any. Really only two problems stand in the way of this expansion. The first is that it would have no doubt been nice to be able to purchase these tables individually. Honestly $10 for four new games isn’t at all a bad value, but many will no doubt only want one or two, making the pricing a tough proposition. The other problem is simply that Zen Studios tries to do too much now and then, crowding the tables with too much information or too many moving pieces, resulting in a jumbled mess of a game. Fortunately, that is fairly rare, and is certainly not enough to dampen a great overall experience.” We give this one 4 stars out of 5 stars.
When can we see a real Goldeneye challenger?
An international conspiracy has placed the UK’s most secretive bio-chemical project into deadly hands, and only Her Majesty’s most lethal agent, James Bond, can unravel the mystery. To navigate through layers of corruption, you, as Bond, will embark on a global chase that will have you battling on land, sea, and air through Athens, Istanbul, Monaco, and Bangkok. Nothing is what it seems as each adventure reveals a deeper and more sinister conspiracy. Engage in precise cover-based gunplay and tactical firefights, and speed your way through explosive adrenaline-fueled driving sequences. Become Bond as he engages in intense hand-to-hand combat and uses his environment to finish off enemies. Take the battle online in a 16-person multiplayer mode that requires skill, teamwork and strategy as you compete in matches that will have spies battling mercenaries. In the fight to prevent the world’s most dangerous weapon from falling into the wrong hands, you’ll need to be the ultimate secret agent.
“Blood Stone is not a bad game: it’s just a painfully average one. There aren’t any majorly broken elements to it, but just because this Stone is relatively polished, doesn’t make it a gem. There really isn’t anything at all remarkable about it, and even though it’s extremely short it still manages to wear out its welcome thanks to its extremely repetitive design. If GoldenEye is indeed the Sean Connery of 007 video games, then Blood Stone is the George Lazenby; not bad, but not good either, and forgettable in almost every way. At just five hours long and lacking in any real innovation or challenge, it won’t leave you feeling shaken nor stirred, just shortchanged.” We give it 2.5 stars out of 5.

“LittleBigPlanet 2 is already a significant expansion over the original with its new level creation tools. Media Molecule has also been busy integrating PlayStation Move controls into a unique cooperative mode that’s intended to be approachable for players of all skill levels. I got a chance to play through three of the levels at a Sony event in New York today and found the experience surprisingly pleasant.” ~Oct 7 IGN We are looking forward to this game because it is hot hot hot!!!
Splatterhouse is it a horror?
Follow Rick and his mystical Terror Mask as he unmercifully tears, cuts and beats his way through denizens of unearthly creatures in an epic adventure to rescue his girlfriend from the clutches of deranged occult figure Dr. West. Embodying the unfiltered, primal aggression of its namesake, Splatterhouse combines visceral, adrenaline-soaked combat with horror elements to deliver an original gaming experience that defies the boundaries of the traditional action category with over the-top gore and shocking new gameplay mechanics.
“Let’s be honest: Splatterhouse was always the video game equivalent of an exploitation flick. In an era where games were dominated by perky platformers and colorful beat-em-ups, Splatterhouse was a breath of rotten air, full of gore, secondhand references to horror movie icons, and cheap thrills – sort of like the movies it took inspiration from. But, like so many horror remakes of the last few years, little of the original Splatterhouse’s charm has been left intact, and the half-baked mechanics and graphic content can’t make up the difference. Other games have managed to marry over-the-top violence and sex with sound game design, and Splatterhouse just feels like an imitator.” We give this one 2 stars out of 5.
Are you ready to get nail’d?
nail’d is a game that mixes brutal speed with over the top roller-coaster track-design insanity to deliver an off-road racing experience unlike any other. You’re going to make your powerful ATV or motocross bike do incredible things. Blaze a trail at speeds no other off-road game can match over gaping chasms, through fiery obstacles and high above the ground. In nail’d, you’ll blast down near-vertical surfaces and over yawning chasms that plunge into darkness. The rocky teeth of the unforgiving Andes and the vicious challenge of the Yosemite National Park are but two of the places where you’ll learn the meaning of verticality. The racing challenge found in nail’d will send your adrenaline glands into overdrive. It’s going to hit you hard, but you’ll want more. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
“You can see some fun poking out here and there in Nail’d. The in-air physics work largely as advertised and add some excitement, but the game still feels surprisingly boring most of the time. Without the benefit of exploration for new routes or any meaningful challenge to vehicle handling though, Nail’d gets tedious fast and stays there.” We give it 3 stars out of 5.
All you monster pet fans, here is one for you.
To Save the Kingdom, the Greatest Alliance Between Man and Monster is Forged! Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom? is the modern incarnation of inspired partnership gaming, seamlessly integrating problem solving, combat and an engaging story line in a fluid cinematic experience like no other!
‘Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom tells a sad but clichéd tale with an endearing giant and his friend at the helm of it. This “puzzle platformer” won’t give you too much of a problem as the solutions are simple, but finding every collectible in the world will take quite a bit of effort. It’s not without frustrations, but journeying with the goofy monster is an adventure most people will get a kick out of.’ We give this one 3.5 stars out of 5.
The next installment of the award-winning racing franchise, Gran Turismo 5, is coming exclusively to the PLAYSTATION3 system. Known for its signature beauty and precision, the highly anticipated racer will showcase new jaw-dropping cars, real-life tracks, and diverse racing styles. Gran Turismo promises to deliver exciting advancements to the series in the most comprehensive racing experience ever.
‘Gran Turismo 5 is a 10/10 simulator wrapped up in a 5/10 game – driving is as exhilarating as anything that’s gone before, and slavish obsession with the minutiae of many of its cars ensure it’s an encyclopaedia of automotive delights. Its brilliance on the track, however is matched by its sloppiness off of it, and there’s a lack of polish that would at one time have seemed sacrilegious to the series. Ultimately its driving wins out to ensure that it’s still a great game, but it leaves that nagging doubt; this could have been a masterpiece were it not for the fact that Polyphony was so absorbed with the detail that it took its eye off the ball.’ We give this one 4 stars out of 5.
