This Week’s Videogame Releases

We’re barely into 2011 and there are already some excellent games coming out. There are three very interesting titles shipping this week…and I want them all! First up is DC Universe Online. I still have dreams of forming The Super Buddies, Part Deux with some of you. Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded bundles some KH episodic content that was released in Japan. As a fan of the series, I’m psyched to play more of Sora’s adventures. Last, but not least, is Prinny 2, the sequel to a super-funny and super-challenging platformer based on those lovable demonic Disgaea penguins.

Any of you picking up new games this week?

Killzone 3 Story Trailer (Malcolm McDowell, Ray Winstone)

Here’s an excellent Killzone 3 trailer that focuses on the game’s story. Hearing Malcom McDowell’s voice should remind me of his excellent performance in A Clockwork Orange…but I keep hearing him as Terrance McQuewick in Entourage. Anyway, check out the clip and let me know what you think (please)!

Fight Night Champion Full Spectrum Punch Controls Explained

In the video above, Gameplay producer Brian Hayes explains the new “Full Spectrum Punch Controls” in Fight Night Champion…and it makes me kind of sad. On the plus side, I’m happy that haymaker punches will be less ridiculous, but for the most part I’m bummed that the controls are being simplified.

I loved the complex analog-stick motions featured in the old Fight Night games. I thought it was completely appropriate that hooks were harder to throw than jabs. From what I’ve seen in the video, it looks like everything will be a simple flick. I get that this will make the game easier for and more appealing to a broad audience, but it takes away from the realism. Throwing an uppercut should require more effort than throwing a jab. Sadly, it appears that nuance of the series is gone.

The new control system is giving me nightmares about Fight Night Champion’s online play. In my head I see a bunch of button mashers and button flickers spamming the game. *sigh* Although the game appears to have a lot of new and interesting features, I’m afraid that Full Spectrum Punch Control will kill it for me.

Any thoughts on Fight Night Champion’s Full Spectrum Punch Controls?

PSN Tetris Out Tomorrow: RPad.tv Invitational Anyone?

Here’s a friendly reminder that Tetris for PlayStation Network will be available tomorrow. I’m super excited for the multiplayer. Are any of you interested in joining me for some RPad.tv Invitational action later this week? It would be excellent playing with you guys and gals. Hrmmm, I better find my Aliph Jawbone so that I can chat it up. Anyway, let me know if you’re up for playing (please)!

2010 Videogames: The Year in Review

In case you missed any of these excellent videos starring 1Up.com’s Sam Kennedy, Gamasutra’s Christian Nutt, and GameFly Media’s (Shacknews) Garnett Lee, here they are! Let’s start with their favorite games of 2010. Find out why these three excellent writers felt that Bayonetta, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, and Red Dead Redemption were the cream of the crop.

Next, find out why Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy XIV, and Gran Turismo 5 were the most disappointing games of the year to Christian, Sam, and Garnett.

Discovering sleeper hits is always a fantastic thing. There are games we all love that don’t get the attention they deserve. In the following segment, my dynamic guests tell you why Split Second, Ys: The Oath in Felghana, and Bayonetta should have your attention.

Last, but certainly not least, is the biggest gaming news in 2010. In a truly fascinating year for the business that kicked off tons of change, Garnett, Sam, and Christian reveal what news they thought had the biggest impact.

If you have any closing thoughts on videogames in 2010, speak now or forever hold your peace!

MLB 11 The Show Features Joe Mauer, 3D, and PlayStation Move

Here’s a video and some box art for the upcoming MLB 11 The Show. In addition to some baseball awesomeness, Sony has revealed Minnesota Twins catcher Joe Mauer as its cover athlete, stereoscopic 3D support, and PlayStation Move compatibility. MLB The Show has been the best baseball game for the last few years and the 2011 version is particularly important since it will showcase two technologies Sony is pushing.

Any of you curious to play MLB 11 The Show using PlayStation Move and or 3D?
