Welcome To That Gaming Site

The latest instalment of Rockstar Games racing game, has been announced on the PSP. It will get the name Midnight Club: Los Angeles remix and will be handled by Rockstar London instead of Rockstar San Diego.

Rockstar London have had previous experience on the PSP system(manhunt 2), so will this help them turn it into a bigger hitter for the slowly improving platform.

Leading on from this. Rockstar have announced that the official release date has been delayed until October 7th and 10th. The PSP version will have a simultaneous release.

The wait has only been extended for a little longer but on the bright side Rockstar have made some big claims about this game, that are enough to get the fans excited.

Rockstar San Diego has created a beautiful rendition of Los Angeles to race through at break neck speeds and explore at your own pace. With no tracks and no load times, Midnight Club: Los Angeles offers the ultimate freedom to play however you choose.

Halo 4 To Be At E3

The source reported on earlier seems to have sent Sarcastic Gamer an update. The source now states that Halo 4 will be at E3 in one form or another, weather this will be a announcement or an actually gameplay trailer remains to be seen.

 

Remember, its still Thursday!

Expanding The PSN

The PlayStation Network will be expanding its user base across India. This comes over a year after the official launch in India.

According to economic times Sony had this to say

The PlayStation Network is ready for India. It is only the integration of the payment gateway that needs to be done.

Stating that it will arrive by the end of the fiscal year.

 

This is good news for Indian gamers who have eagerly been awaiting downloadable content and the option to purchase new games from the store. Its also good news for this fellow who seemed to have his say about the topic over in official PlayStation forum.

 

Its really upsetting Sony still hasn’t done anything about their customers sitting in countries with no official PSN store, also those with a PSN store but who bought their games from another region and which is not compatible with Download Content from their region PSN store.

All Sony needs to do is allow for credit cards from all over the world to be used in any PSN profile. I have friends in India that have Warhawk, but I can’t play Omega Dawn and Broken Mirror with them because there is absolutely NO WAY for them to purchase, even if they create a fake USA profile to access the PSN store, they will be blocked because they don’t have US credit cards.So really, Sony should consider this as it will trully expand the PSN population by a lot more.

In honor of his co-star Will Smith’s new movie, let’s celebrate one of our most beloved TV show sidekicks- Carlton Banks- and his ridiculous “Carlton Dance”.

SegaSuperstarsTennisNDS This game was the DS version, 95% of this review can be applied to other console version, mainly the game play elements, sorry we don’t have the budget to review games on every console yet.

For a DS game Sega Superstars Tennis is pretty good, its nice to see a majority of Sega’s classic franchise’s recognized with characters from them.

 

Graphics

The graphics are surprisingly good for a DS game, the backgrounds look marvellous which leads me to believe they may be pre-rendered since you don’t see jaggies. The character models are pretty good and represent the character nicely.

8.5/10

Sound

Just about as much as you would expect from a DS game, the track itself seems like a modern remake of various classic themes, I won’t spoil too much but I picked up on some Sonic Adventure theme’s, when you play the game see if you can pick them out! The voice overs are pretty mediocre, I’m still trying to get over the fact that Tails sounds like a girl now.

8/10

Gameplay

The moment you start the game you are greeted with a retro surprise featuring Sonic, a 16 bit Sonic runs by the Sega logo, he leans on it and bounces a tennis ball on his hand. If only the Sega Scream was still present!

segasuperstarstennis_000 You have the choice of playing the game with the stylus or the buttons, thankfully its not both! Each has it’s own gameplay element that adds to the experience. I played the game on the DS lite so I found the touch pad to be a better option since it did not hurt my fingers. For the tennis aspect the stylus method is "dummed down", all you do is move you character to the area you think the ball is coming and wait for them to hit it. With the controls you are forced to move around, change characters, etc just about what you would expect.

The game also comes with mission mode, you pick your character and you do various events. The events are the good part, you can play a court called Sonic, what you do is various missions involving rings on the tennis court. Other missions include a homage to Monkey Ball, Virtua Cop, Chu Chu Rocket, Puyo Puyo Fever, Jet Grind, to name a few. Just image all these titles but with a layout that fits a tennis court. The thing I do not like about these is their control schemes are not universal, some are much easier with one control then another so expect to be switching back and forth.

The thing I really like about this game is the various courts that pay homage to Sega’s past franchise’s also stay faithful to the graphical style of the game that it is based on, a real treat for old Sega gamers.

The game also supports the rumble pack, I do not have the rumble kit so I cannot comment on it. For classic Sega fans such as myself, you will appreciate the arenas since they are based off classic arenas from games such as Sonic the Hedgehog (The old one), Space Channel 5, etc

The multiplayer supports 1-2 players on a single card and 2-4 players on multiple carts.

8.5/10

Conclusion

The game will be enjoyed by all, on the DS the game offers a quick pick up and play experience which you can take anywhere. Old Sega fans will enjoy this more since they will see some of there favourite franchise’s in the game.

Why is it that outsourced Sega games pay homage to classic Sega and in house completely ignores it? Please definitely don’t love new Sega, they love the old Sega!

As you may heard Google are getting into the entertainment industry starting with the Internet. Seth will give Google a brand new online series called “Seth MacFarlane’s Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy.”  It will be split up into 50 two-minute episodes and only be available exclusively on the Internet.
