Platinum Games’ history is as odd as their games, as anyone who’s played either MadWorld or Bayonetta can attest.

Like Captain N: The Game Master, Hi-top Sneakers, and The Wizard, certain things from our childhood seem awesome thanks to a healthy dose of nostalgia. Rosy Retrospective looks at the games we remember fondly and asks: Are they really as good as we remember? Whenever I do anything, I think ‘How is this situation at all similar to 1988 action movie Die Hard.’ When lacing my shoes, I think ‘I’m set if I have to walk across broken glass today;’ when riding an elevator, ‘how could I emergency stop this car between floors and force the doors open;’ and [...] Anyone who’s spent a reasonable amount of time with Silent Hill: Shattered Memories (Wii/PS2/PSP) – and especially those who have finished it – have more questions than answers concerning the game’s story and characters. Exercising all the freedoms that writing for a website can afford, I took these questions straight to the source for answers [...] Silent Hill: Shattered Memories (Wii/PS2/PSP) from Konami and Climax Group is an odd duck. Most obviously, it’s a mature game on the Wii with an excellent story, great motion controls, and fantastic visuals.

Nintendo President Satoru Iwata’s has recently came out by saying that he is unimpressed with 3D gaming, but it turns out that Nintendo had actually designed the Gamecube, which was released in 2001, with the ability to play 3D games. Grizzled, crotchety, and used to pain. I like this guy. Mass Effect’s first ten minutes made me downright giddy – an occurrence with a rarity that only those familiar with my particular brand of embittered disappointment will appreciate. The game titillates (heh, titty) with returning characters and familiar icons, shortly before smashing them to [...] Today’s release of No More Heroes 2 is not only a chance to step into the foul-mouthed beam-sword-weilding shoes of Travis Touchdown, but also to reflect on the progeny of Tokyo-based Grasshopper Manufacture. Helmed by the enigmatic Suda 51 (so named because his actual first name, Goichi, means 51 in Japanese), the company is known [...] It’s so fashionable to bag on the Wii nowadays. While shovelware and minigame compilations open Nintendo’s system to a degree of mockery, the Wii is home to lots of games with quality and heart — if only gamers gave them a chance. This column picks lesser-known Wii titles and exposes all the great ideas and [...] Darksiders (PS3/360) is one of those under-the-radar types, so labeled because scouring message boards and chatlogs did not turn up mention of the game before its release. Imagine gamers’ collective surprise when this unknown quantity suddenly achieved critical acclaim. |
