Found in: Games, NewsBeyond Good & Evil HD Review (XBLA)
I don't have much nostalgia for old videogames. While some classics maintain the test of time, most games from my youth no longer hold my interest when put up against more modern titles. Michel Ancel's seminal 2003 classic Beyond Good & Evil may not be ancient, but the industry's evolved a lot since then. So I went into its high-def port with trepidation, expecting yet another fond memory to be dashed. Happily, I found that BG&E was so far ahead of its time that today’s games are still playing catch up.... read more
Found in: Games, ReviewsThe Least Sexy "Sexy" Game Trailer Ever Made
It's not like videogame trailers are usually very sexy. I mean, God of War 3's trailer was pretty fundamentally unsexy, from what I remember. Party games usually have it even worse, often resigning themselves to simply showing a few clips of a multicultural group of young JC Penny models laughing and swinging about motion controls at some vague and underpopulated daytime social gathering. So to be honest, I'm thankful for the trailer for Ubisoft's upcoming party game We Dare, simply because it's one of the more ludicrous things I've seen in a good long while.... read more

Developer: Ubisoft Publishers: Ubisoft, Universal Studios Platforms: PS3, Xbox 360 Finally a movie game that gets it together It’s only natural the Scott Pilgrim-verse inspire a videogame spinoff in its recent comics-to-movie migration: In his series of graphic novels, Scott relates to the world around him through videogame-tinted lenses. Then again it’s hard not to when he can only win the hand of the girl he loves by facing down and defeating her “seven evil exes.” The graphic novels effortlessly stuck every landing on the myriad of obscure gaming references (like “sub-space doors” from Super Mario Bros. 2), and the... read more
Found in: Games, ReviewsPrince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands Review (Xbox 360)
Developer: Ubisoft Montreal Publisher: Ubisoft Platforms: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, Nintendo DS, Wii, PSP Brilliant acrobatics go a surprisingly long way As the fifth entry in Ubisoft’s long-running Prince of Persia series, The Forgotten Sands marks a clear spiritual return to the franchise’s first chapter, 2003’s The Sands of Time. Gone is the gritty aesthetic of the series’ middle entries, as well as any vestige of 2008’s beautifully rendered but overly simplified next-gen reboot. By reincorporating The Sands of Time’s pacing, control scheme, level design and princely voice-actor Yuri Lowenthal, The Forgotten Sands feels like a deliberate return to... read more
