Dante’s Inferno: I’ve been complaining and talking shit about this game for a long time, but after trying the demo (Twice!) I found that Dante’s Inferno is a fun game! I mean, it’s God of War with a Christian thematic. It feels like GoW, plays like GoW and amuses like GoW. If you don’t like Dante’s Inferno… well, then you probably don’t like GoW. Easy as that. Pretty cool cinematics, though.
- Opinion: Positive. The demo was perfect. Good presentation of the most important events in the story, introduction to all the features and a cleverly placed cliff-hanger at the end of the demo. I will buy it PS3 (I noticed that the cinematics have better quality in the PS3 version)
MAG: I like “Battlefield” kind of games. The premise of fighting with lots of people in a huge battleground has been always attractive, but fighting with other 255 is a big deal (And somehow, new). I downloaded the Open BETA expecting something like Battlefield and something like Battlefield is what I found. A pity that I couldn’t join a big battle… that’s a pleasure that only LV10 (or more) players can enjoy.
- Opinion: Positive. As I said, it was a pity that I couldn’t taste a bit of what MAG is all about, but still, looks like a pretty solid game, well focused and optimized. Between Bad Company 2 and MAG, I may choose MAG just to give an opportunity to new franchises.
Dark Void: This is the perfect example of a highly hyped game that got lost somehow in the middle of it production. I really was expecting something way better, story, graphics and gameplay wise. Of course there are a couple of things that I liked, like the variety of controls, switching between flight stages and cover based scenarios, and the music (yes, why not…) was pretty good. Still, I found a bland, uninspired and technically outdated game.
- Opinion: Negative. The demo was just horrible. No introduction to the character or the Universe you play in. Boring and confusing. What happened to this game? It looked fantastic 1 year ago!
ModNation Racers: There are two reasons that sums up pretty well why I love a game like this already: my predilection for Mario Kart games and my respect for games that provides tools for the community. I’m still trying out the BETA, but I already know that this game has to be part of my PS3 collection.
- Opinion: Positive. A game that rewards your imagination and your will to contribute with custom created content? Yes, please.
