But does the latest and final leg of Kratos’ story offer the experience that PlayStation 3 users crave, or is it a case of dressing the same old game in new clothes?

Greed Corp. – The PS3 Attitude Review

Never let it be said that war isn’t a complex, demanding beast. Especially war on multiple fronts.

Greed Corp., Amsterdam-based W!Games’ inaugural PSN game replete with multiple layers (literally) of nuance and precarious balance, could be used as testimonial evidence of this opening statement.

God of War III engine only running at 50%

In a statement likely to terrify every developer in the world, God of War III director – Stig Asmussen – has commented that the engine they used to run the game is running at no where near full speed.

This begs the question – just what more can be done this generation?

Mega Man 10 – The PS3 Attitude Review

Mega Man 10 – The PS3 Attitude Review

When Mega Man 9 was first revealed, the gaming community was left in shock due to the 8-bit design. After the game was released, it was clear that going old-school was more than just a gimmick. For the first time in years, fans were given one of the best entries in the Mega Man series.

Capitalizing on the success of Mega Man 9, Capcom has delivered another retro-styled Mega Man game. This time, the NES visuals and gameplay in Mega Man 10 are not as surprising as they were in 2008.

Has the nostalgia worn off or is Mega Man 10 a sequel that is truly worthwhile?

With two new racing games currently in development, PS3 Attitude took the opportunity to catch-up with Anton Yudintsev, Gaijin Entertainment’s CEO and President, to talk about the first of two titles due for an exclusive release on the PSN in the coming weeks.

Last Rebellion – The PS3 Attitude Review

Last Rebellion – The PS3 Attitude Review

Nippon Ichi Software and Hit Maker team up to bring another RPG exclusively to the PS3. Last Rebellion tells the classic story of a clash between two opposing forces. In this case, it’s between two gods, Formival and Meiktilia whose powers are transferred to humanity in the form of Blades and Sealers.

Unfortunately, the game had the unpleasant luck of releasing on February 23rd in the United States, the same date as Heavy Rain, and will be released on March 26th in Europe. In fact, unless your name is either Lightning or Kratos, we wouldn’t suggest releasing a game in the near future.

Still, it’s been a while since our last RPG adventure and Last Rebellion features classic open world exploration and turn-based battles, so we’re keen on giving it a go. It’s time to see if the game can hold up against the heavy competition.

Violent video games – the parents’ view

Violent video games – the parents’ view

Violent video games are fast becoming one of the most talked about subjects in the mainstream media.

Regular readers of PS3 Attitude will know that we are strongly in favour of parental control and common sense when it comes to children and video games.

The general consensus is that if a game has an age rating on it, only children of that age and above should be playing it – but is that divide always so black and white?

Should parents be allowed to judge whether or not their child can handle material which has been rated as unsuitable for their age bracket?

PS3 Attitude has invited two parents in to discuss their different views on video games.

Top 5 ways to improve White Knight Chronicles

Top 5 ways to improve White Knight Chronicles

The reviews for White Knight Chronicles have been mixed. Even though we thought the game was good, there are obvious flaws that hinder the experience.

Level-5 made improvements to White Knight Chronicles after the game was originally released in Japan. While the story can’t be changed at this point, simple tweaks can be made to the gameplay itself.

We’ve come up with five ways that would make White Knight Chronicles a better game.

Fewer zombie games, please?

Fewer zombie games, please?

Make no mistake, zombies are fun to kill. We’ve had years of pleasure dismembering these lumbering sacks of meat. They allow us to become murderous fiends without our consciences ever getting in the way, but should we feelguilty about all those heads we’ve blown off with a rusty sawn -off shotgun? Of course not; zombies don’t have feelings – we’re doing them a favour by freeing them from the undignified situations they are in.

Nevertheless, maybe they deserve a break because they are being so over-used they’re starting to lose their impact.

Innovation in Games

With the release of Heavy Rain this week, I thought I’d revisit some of the most innovative games that have graced the PlayStation 3 in the last few years.

Nowadays, it feels like every other game is a direct copy of Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto, so it’s refreshing when a game pushes the boundaries and pioneers something which is genuinely new.

Heavy Rain – The PS3 Attitude Review

Heavy Rain.

Just those two simple words have caused ripples across the gaming community since footage of a ‘casting call’ at E3 2006 became the talking point of the event.

Is this finally a game that can deal with adult themes in an effective and affective way?

Celebrating Black History Month – Diversity in Gaming

Pick up any video game these days and the likelihood that the main character is a white male is pretty high. With February being Black History Month, we’re taking a look at the depiction and evolution of African Americans in video games.

Where did the origins of African American characters in video games begin? Is their depiction considered stereotypical or even racist? All these questions and more will be discussed.

White Knight Chronicles – The PS3 Attitude Review

White Knight Chronicles (International Edition) is a Role Playing Game developed by the brilliant minds at Level-5. Expectations are very high and it’s for a good reason. Level-5 are the developers behind great games such as Dark Cloud, Jeanne d’Arc, and Dragon Quest VIII.

In Japan, White Knight Chronicles was originally released on Christmas day in 2008. It took over a year to localize the game and many improvements have been made since its initial release.

PS3 owners have been waiting impatiently for the arrival of an epic JRPG from an established studio. Is the latest effort from Level-5 the white knight that fans have been waiting for?

Gamers worse than outlaw biker gangs?

Michael Atkinson, the South Australian Attorney-General, has commented on the fact he thinks gamers are a bigger threat to himself and his family than outlaw biker gangs. Is there any way he can justify this statement?
