Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix Review (GBA)

After releasing the super popular, yet slightly broken Street Fighter II for Xbox Live Arcade, Capcom returns to the downloading arena with Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix. Like previous incarnations on PlayStation, Sega Saturn and Game Boy Advance, Puzzle Fighter stays true to its simplistic yet volatile nature. You build up block formations using gems and then break them apart with the appropriately-colored powered counter gems. However, some strategy comes into play. The more blocks eliminated from the playfield, the more that build up on your opponent's side. Put together a devastating combo that nearly clears the screen and your virtual fighting character can wipe them out with one explosive super move.


Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix Gameplay
Players have the option of going right into an arcade match or trying out one of the new sub-modes, labeled X, Y and Z. There are alternate rules for each match, such as how gems get stacked and removed from the screen. They seem to exist more for novelty rather than overall change to the game, which is just fine with us. Those who want to give them a try won't be disappointed. In fact, don't be surprised if one of these new modes soon becomes a personal favorite...Read More

Loki: Heroes of Mythology for PC

Developed by Cyanide, Loki is an action/RPG game for the Windows PC. In full 3D, Loki offers a multitude of special effects in hi-res graphics that takes full advantage of the possibilities offered by the latest generation of graphic cards. Loki is the studio's most ambitious project to date, but it is not its first venture into the world of heroic fantasy. Many will remember Chaos League and its liberal dosage of humour and haemoglobin.

An incredible journey through four great mythologies, Loki allows the player to take-on the role of one of four heroes : a mighty Norse warrior, a fierce Greek fighter, a powerful Egyptian sorcerer or a skilled Aztec shaman as you fight legions of enemies in order to re-entomb Seth, an evil god. Each comes from a different mythological background and each has different strengths and skills and, therefore, radically different ways of fighting...Read more

Gran Turismo 4 Mobile

Gran Turismo 4 Mobile was announced at a Sony press conference on May 11, 2004, at the presentation of the PSP. It is planned to be an accurate port of the PS2 game, Gran Turismo 4, for the PSP system. To much disappointment, it has (as of October 2007) still not been released, and a new release date of late 2007 to 2008 is now the current date on sites like EBGames and Wal-Mart.

Gran Turismo 4 Mobile in the first place was intended to be one of the flagship games of the PSP. When it was proclaimed, many could not believe that such a vast game could fit onto Sony's proprietary UMD format, and also that such a game would be able to run on the hardware of the PSP. Now, due to its accumulated delays, many believe that the game will never be released.

Despite this, Gran Turismo series producer Kazunori Yamauchi has been constantly consoling the press of the game's existence. The last of such events occurred on September 25, 2006, when Kazunori cited the cause for such a huge postponement of Gran Turismo 4 Mobile included the development of Gran Turismo games for the PlayStation 3, primarily Gran Turismo HD. Kazunori affirmed that the fundamentals of the game had been accomplished as of August 2004, with only the adjustment of "makeup" remaining.

However, for the first time, a date is making its way on to the internet. UK stores, including Amazon.co.uk, have a date of March 30, 2008 listed. There is currently no confirmation of this date, as Sony has removed any records of the game from the majority of their array of PSP-orientated sites, but for many this may come as light at the end of the tunnel. Also, in a recent interview with Best Car, Polyphony stated that it "will release before PS3's GT5 Prologue", which is anywhere between March and Christmas 2008. Alas, GT5 Prologue has now been announced as a late 2007 release and GT 4 Mobile will not be released before then.

Naruto: Rise of a Ninja

Naruto: Rise of a Ninja is an Xbox 360-exclusive video game currently under development by Ubisoft Montreal, making it the first Naruto game to be designed by a non-Japanese company. The game will be specifically based off the English dubbed version of the anime, and is set to be released in North America in October 2007. The option to use the original Japanese voice actors will be included in the game.

The game itself is an RPG, where Konoha will serve as a main hub to access various missions players can go on. The main storyline will take place from the beginning of the series to the end of the Invasion of Konoha arc, with included sidequests. It will feature elements from the Prince of Persia series, like jumping acrobatically from rooftop to rooftop, as well as having one-on-one brawls much like the Naruto: Clash of Ninja series. Like with most Naruto games, it will feature cel-shaded graphics.

The game will also allow online versus multiplayer via Xbox live, enabling you to play with your friends. According to a video interview on Xboxyde.com, the game will also have downloadable content, hinting towards new characters.
