30/03/2009 : G-Force, based on the Jerry Bruckheimer produced Disney movie, revolves around a team of trained secret agent guinea pigs that take on a mission for the US government to stop an evil billionaire who plans to destroy the world with household appliances.

20/03/2009 : Après le groupe de hard rock américain Aerosmith, la série Guitar Hero a donc décidé de rendre un hommage incommensurable à Metallica, histoire de réparer une erreur que les amateurs de la gratte enragée qualifiaient d'impardonnable. C'est désormais chose faite, avec un Guitar Hero : Metallica qui ne souhaite absolument pas être considéré comme un simple add-on. L'opération s'annonce pourtant compliquée auprès des smicards et des rois, même avec l'ajout d'une seconde pédale de grosse caisse censée donner plus de profondeur à un gameplay qui a déjà fait ses preuves. Nos impressions.

12/03/2009 : You might be wondering what the fuss is about over a yet-to-be-released title that already sounds like old news - Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja 4 is a PS2 installment, Japan’s had the game for a couple of years now, and PS3’s Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm came out last year. We liken Ultimate Ninja 4 to an old friend come back —surePreview de Naruto Shippuden : Ultimate Ninja 4 sur Playstation 2, chez Games Radar.
01/03/2009 : So he looks across the conference table over his impressive beard at us. Pauses. Then he says, "It's Ghostbusters. We're going to make a Ghostbusters game. The first really good one." And the other one, who for the first time since we met has paused talking for almost two consecutive minutes, adds this: "And we think you're the right guys do it. You up for it?" Nobody says anything for a long time. They think that after all the build up and mystery maybe we're disappointed, that maybe we're trying to assess the fastest way of out of the room. But that's not the case. The fact is that Brendan is sitting in stunned silence and I'm just trying to keep from swallowing my tongue. Mark Randel (Terminal Reality President & Chief Technologist) is taking it better: he's just near-catatonic. Preview de Ghostbusters The Video Game sur Playstation 2, chez VideoGamer.com.
01/03/2009 : For a franchise that has been largely dormant since 1989, the Ghostbusters certainly have a large group of fans. The past two years have been a rollercoaster of emotion for the supporters of Peter Venkman and co: after years of rumour and gossip, there was a rush of excitement when developer Zootfly revealed videos of their prototype code - followed swiftly by despair when it turned out that the entire effort was completely unlicensed. Then Bill Murray let it slip that he had been working on an official game with Terminal Reality. All seemed to be going well until Vivendi decided to abandon the project... resulting in a collective wail of "NOOOOOOOOOOO!" that could be heard from Mars.

01/03/2009 : Last week we headed to the curry-haven that is London's Brick Lane, for a quick chat with Harmonix's Dan Teasdale - lead designer on Rock Band 2. Read on for his musings on music creation, the forthcoming The Beatles game, and why there's still life in the rock-em-up genre. Preview de Rock Band 2 sur Playstation 2, chez VideoGamer.com.
01/03/2009 : It's a sobering thought that when the original The Need For Speed came out in 1994 - on the ill-fated 3DO, no less - the original PlayStation wasn't even on shop shelves. The series is now over 14 years old, which makes it one of the oldest racing franchises that's still active today; Only Mario Kart and Ridge Racer are longer in the tooth.

01/03/2009 : Tomb Raider: Underworld is the third game in the series to be developed by Crystal Dynamics. We recently caught up with creative director Eric Lindstrom to discuss Lara's return, the new focus on exploration and the questions surrounding the game's Xbox-only DLC. VideoGamer.com: There seems to be a pronounced emphasis on exploration in Tomb Raider: Underworld. Was that always going to be the case, or did you ever consider a more action-driven approach, like some of the older titles in the series?

01/03/2009 : 12 years ago, back in 1996, Naughty Dog's Crash Bandicoot exploded onto the original PlayStation with one hell of a bang. Here, we thought, was the console's first quality platform game. And here, we thought, was a character that would go on to become a Sony icon. Like Mario for Nintendo. Or Sonic for SEGA. Unfortunately, the crate smashing Crash never really realised that potential.

28/01/2009 : We’re excited to announce that the latest chapter in the Guilty Gear series, Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus, will be making its way over to North America for the PS2 later this year. Known for its rockin’ heavy metal soundtrack, a ridiculously over-the-top story that borders on absurdity and the most bizarre cast of characters you’ve ever seen, Guilty Gear was always the sort of series that appealed to the hardest of hardcore fighting fans.

21/01/2009 : You’re thinking about trying out Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2, but you don’t know the Principality of Zeon from the Zanscare Empire? Yeah, we feel you. Don’t worry, though, we’ve taken the characters form Gundam 2 and condensed decades of history into easy-to-read blurbs that contain every little drop and morsel of Gundam Knowledge you’ll ever need to know.

08/01/2009 : Ar tonelico 2: Melody of Metafalica, like its predecessor, primarily follows the traditional Japanese role-playing game formula but incorporates a dating simulation and an extensive customizing system to keep you busy for hours. Not only that, but the way the story is presented is even more bizarre than what you'd expect. Its tantalizing opening sequence with colorful anime characters--more specifically, cute girls about to lock lips--will leave you puzzled, or perhaps thirsty for more. We were only able to scratch the surface of this peculiar RPG that is riddled with Preview de Ar tonelico 2 sur Playstation 2, chez Gamespot US.
15/12/2008 : Superman may be more powerful than a speeding bullet, but only Gohan and Goku have what it takes to defeat the likes of Frieza. If those names ring a bell, then you already know the story – it has been retold in video games for the past several years (and was once shown daily on Cartoon Network). But like any soap opera, Dragon Ball Z is a tale that doesn’t want to be forgotten. With the latest chapter, Burst Limit, DBZ is off to a great start on Preview de Dragon Ball Z : Infinite World sur Playstation 2, chez Gamezone.
15/12/2008 : No hack-n-slash series is as famous (or infamous) as Dynasty Warriors. This weapon-based, button-mash-until-your-thumb-stops-moving adventure began with great success. The gameplay style differed from other well-known hack-n-slash titles, such as the Gauntlet series, and was considerably different from beat-‘em-ups like Bad Dudes and Streets of Rage.

11/11/2008 : On a dark and stormy night, you stare at a blank TV screen as the clock strikes 12:00. You were told that the Midnight Channel will appear before you, even though your set isn't on, and on the screen your soul mate will appear. A girl then materializes; you can't tell who it is, but she seems to be in pain. Then the TV starts trying to draw you in; after you fight the television’s pull and drag yourself out, the set is blank again.

07/11/2008 : DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3 devait être le dernier de la série Budokai. Avec l'arrivée de Burst Limit, on s'était donc dit que finalement, s'en était fini de Goku et ses potes sur PS2. C'était mal connaître Namco Bandai qui avait surpris tout le monde il y a quelques mois avec l'annonce de Dragon Ball Z Infinite World. Une nouvelle fois, les saiyens vont reprendre du service dans un jeu qui, cette fois, sera très certainement la dernière vague déferlante de la licence sur les old-gen. Doit-on s'attendre avec cet opus à un Genkidama surpuissant ou simplement à une petite décharge de Ki. C'est ce que nous allons tenter de voir dans cette preview.

05/11/2008 : Sega's spiky mascot didn't exactly impress with his last outing--the eponymously titled Sonic The Hedgehog--but early indicators for the upcoming Sonic Unleashed look to be significantly more positive. Now just weeks away from release, we managed to grab some hands-on time with the Xbox 360 version of the new game, which included wrangling with some of the bosses Sonic will be going head-to-head against.

05/11/2008 : Creating an entirely new franchise using popular characters from the Final Fantasy series mixed in with Disney's animated musical cast was a move that made some fans skeptical, but the end result was one that paid off well. The Kingdom Hearts series has been met with much success, enough to warrant a new game, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, which is on the horizon for next year. Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories originally appeared on the Game Boy Advance andPreview de Kingdom Hearts Re : Chain of Memories sur Playstation 2, chez Gamespot US.
