Dead Space 3 is out and you should be playing in the dark and shivering with fear.
We played the demo before the game came out and immediately had reservations about weapons customization. I didn’t need customized weapons in the first two – why would I need them now? That, and it seemed to be way more time consuming and complex than it needed to be. I think lots of gamers are going to pass up the bench customization and just go for existing blueprints.
The other downer was a strong feeling of deja vu. Yes different enemies, yes a new environment but – meh. So what? That said, the demo was only a very, very, very small peak into the game – and developers never give away any important stuff in demos. So, maybe the post mortem will be far more positive.
Mark of the Ninja
If you haven’t found this little gem on XBox Arcade, give it a whirl. With graphics in a very Samurai Jack kind of style, the story is intriguing and the game play tons of fun in this sideways scroller. You have your customary upgrades with an imaginative choice of weapons and distraction items from darts that cause hallucinations to a portable box you can hide in when necessary.
A Ninja fighting to protect the integrity of his clan; you are sent on a suicide mission that comes with twists, turns and a couple surprises. It’s a stealth game no doubt, but you can always let the blades fly if you are so inclined. The game tends to reward stealthy movement and stealthy kills.
Pick it up for 1200 MS points.
