PS3UK Review: Assassins Creed
Assassins Creed is a game set in 1191 AD, when the Third Crusade was tearing the Holy Land apart. You play as Altair, a master Assassin with an attitude which eventually gets him stripped of his weapons and his title. To regain the respect of the other Assassins after breaking the creed, Altair has to assassinate some chosen targets oppressing certain cities. Assassins Creed has been hyped quite a bit but after the embarrassing demo at E3, does it live up to the hype?
PS3UK Reviews: Stuntman Ignition
“Alot of people complained like children that the first Stuntman game for Playstation 2 was too difficult and sometimes got so frustrating that it was near unplayable at times. When they bought a game from the creators of driver, what did they expect? What they have done in the second game, is to listen to these peoples complaints and do the complete opposite by making it twice as hard, which I think is great. Stuntman Ignition sets you as a rookie stuntman driver who needs to work his way up the ladder and get noticed by the directors. Your objective in the game is to drive from point A to B while dodging falling cliffs, shooting attack helicopters out the sky with rockets, dodging semi trucks by balancing your car on two wheels, set on fire, trample down bikes and henchman and whatever else the script asks of you. The game is not about great graphics, sound or AI, because frankly, this game has none of those, not because the developers were lazy, but because it doesn’t need it. Stuntman Ignition is purely for the gameplay and you can tell it’s been worked on to a very high degree.”
PS3UK Review: Folklore
RPGs are a common thing nowadays, but Folklore has taken basic RPG elements mixed them with a strange gothic background and is finally something different and original. Using the Genji: Days of the Blade engine at Game Republic Folklore has stunningly beautiful and unusual environments, but certainly isn’t a graphics showcase of Playstation 3. Lots of people fell in love with Foklore after playing the demo when it exploded onto the Japanese Playstation Store, but does the love stay, or was the demo merely a hump and dump?
PS3UK Review: EA’s skate. for Playstation 3
Sanctuary’s Review of EA’s skate. for Playstation 3:
“Tony Hawks has lead the skating game genre since they were around, starting on the Playstation 1 and leading onto Proving Grounds on the PS3, however EA have now released Skate, which by far surpasses Tony Hawks in nearly all areas. The main high point of the game is that it takes away the extremely over the top combo’s you can pull off in Tony Hawk and replaces them with 1 or 2 tricks which take some skill to pull off. This makes the game a lot more satisfying when you get good but also has a pretty steep learning curve.”
PS3UK Review: Clive Barker’s Jericho
Sanctuary’s Review of Clive Barker’s Jericho for Playstation 3:
“Clive Barker has made some good horrors, but Jericho is not one of them. Clive Barker has written some amazing horror movies as well as produced and directed them, his most famous being Candyman and Hellraiser. Considering his past work, we expected Jericho to be scarier than the first play through of Silent Hill 1 when we were 10. Sadly, it wasn’t. The game starts out quite well by throwing you into the middle of a desert with ancient ruins and a strange tornado. You walk around for a while in your team leader Ross who is equipped with a nicely chosen G36c rifle until monsters run out in front of you and start attacking you. Considering this was written by an experienced horror writer, we were expecting a dark and creepy introduction and the first enemy encounter to be pretty horrifying. This was the first let down of many.”
