Retro Review- Gladiator Begins

gladiator begins review

  There are very few games based on the gladiatorial fighters of ancient Rome, as most Roman centric videogames focus on the epic battles that took place. This is understandable, of course, but the gladiator, the idea of a slave who must fight their way to freedom, is such an interesting basis for a game that I’m surprised it hasn’t...

lord of the rings tactics psp

At the height of the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy craze, EA released multiple titles for various systems. They cashed into the series with games that, for the most part, were quite authentic and impressive. While most titles were quite well known, there is one that pretty much flew under everyone’s radar. One of those such games...

lethal alliance psp review

Star Wars tie-in videogames are a dime a dozen. While very few focus on the events of the original and prequel trilogy, most carve out their own piece of land in the ever growing expanded universe. This expanded universe, which isn’t canon by the way, is a great springboard for a videogame. However, for every great game like Star Wars:...

The wonderful Cave Story could well be coming to a bevy of additional hardware formats, if an updated ESRB rating is anything to go by. The listing for Cave Story now shows the game rated for PS3, 360, Vita, PS2 and PSP alongside existing ratings of 3DS, Wii and DSi. ESRB ratings tend to be water-tight, so the appearance of Cave Story...

You Should Play: Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep

kingdom hearts birth by sleep

Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep is an impressive game. However, it’s not without its drawbacks. It’s two thirds a wonderfully constructed experience, while the other third is a mess of melodramatic, confusing nonsense. It’s both a triumph and a failure. Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, developed by Square Enix Product...

In the run up to its release, expectations for FIFA 13 reached an all time series high. FIFA 12 was something of a paradigm shift for the franchise, introducing a slew of integral technical and mechanical changes that almost emphatically altered the inherent nature of the how you interact with EA’s beautiful game. It was a risk and thankfully,...

You Should Play: Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker

by Retroplayer - on Sep 16th 2012 at 11:39 pm (IST). This post has No Comments

Two years ago when Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker was originally released, I did my very best to enjoy it. However, after playing the demo over and over again, I simply couldn’t deal with the horrific controls, and couldn’t give in to buying it. This isn’t a criticism of Kojima Productions, but rather of the PSP itself, and it’s major fault of only using one analog stick. Most PSP games can easily do without that though, and I still think it’s a wonderful little machine…
