When designing games that involve atom bombs dropping into Sweet Tooth-shaping remains, it probably takes time.
Many PlayStation gamers have been betting on, hoping, praying, and essentially expecting that at E3 this year the long-rumored next addition in the Twisted Metal franchise would become real. If you have been counting your blessings up until today, then you should proceed to do so.
Heavy Rain is a unique next generation game, in every sense. With a compelling storyline, high-end graphics, and a fresh control system, it’ll be your pleasure to play through this game, or at least a few scenes, twice.
Yesterday in Roman news, 46-year-old storekeeper, Fabrizio R., had suffered an act of video game-related violence after offering his 16-year-old son some advice.
Good news for all of you baseball fans out there: Not only is another season on approach, but on the video game side of things a MLB 10: The Show pre-order bonus is waiting to step up to the plate.

Turkey Day is almost here which means Black Friday is on it’s way. So, before you hit the stores, we’ve compiled a list of the upcoming PlayStation deals that will happen on that day. Also with this you can get a jump start on what out there before other do. Without further ado, here is your 2009 Black Friday Deals by store name.
*Note this deal list will update when we receive further information on more deals.
GREEN titles are recommended games.
RED titles are Doorbuster deals.
Don’t forget this game is on ONE blu-ray disc and is updates with 720p and 60fps not to mention TROPHY SUPPORT. the God of War Collection comes with a vocher for the God of War E3 2009 Demo for PSN.

The Good: Lots of area to take over, so plenty of gameplay. Story to go along with all the areas. Great tutorial system to learn how to play the game.
The Bad: The graphics were just not near what I was hoping for, and the controls are kind of hard to learn. Game play feels kind of slow.

So as always when I start a game I’ve never played I check out the Tutorials, the Introduction felt way to long and trying to base it on the story. Also after the introduction it does a good job of teaching you the game play and not trying to have a story along with it.
Graphics:
I am playing the game on my PS3 and I tried upscaling and even disabling the upscaling and compared to the screen shots I’ve seen I feel the games graphics could be a lot better. The camera is very easy to move around, although is a little to straight down look then it should be.

Controls:
As I said in the Bad I felt the controls were quite hard to learn, and really annoying to adjust to. I would much rather the left joystick be used more like a mouse and use x as left click.
Story:
I have not really had time to follow the story all the way through although from what I have seen they have done a great job connecting it to historical events.

Gameplay: 7.0
Graphics: 5.0
Controls: 6.0
Story: 9.0
Final Score: 6.7
For this review I’m going to be doing things a little differently. I’m going to make sub-categories. I will put in sections: game play, graphics, control, and replay value. I will give an individual score for each section and at the end average those scores together for the final score.
WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008, what is there to say about this game? The graphics are as fake as this sport is. It does what all is possible in wrestling with the extreme gayness of the extremely muscular guys in tights. I will admit I hate wrestling but I wanted to get my hands on it to see if it could change my mind. I will tell you now, NOPE. I felt the graphics of this game could had been at least 4x better for the PS3 version and 2x better for the PS2 version which is what I played. This game is one of the most disappointing games I’ve played yet this year.
