August 23rd, 2010 Desktop General

This week sees something for everyone on DSiWare, WiiWare and Virtual Console with Nintendo’s range of relaxing, challenging and downright difficult games.

Making a comeback is FATAL FURY 3 on Virtual Console, offering brand new moves, plus bigger and better tactics than any previously seen in the series.

DSiWare will see you testing your mental ability with its ancient tile trials in 3D Mahjong, or triggering a chain reaction of colours and points with Primrose. Hospital Havoc will raise your heart rate in a challenge which sees you diagnosing and treating your own peculiar patients.

3D fun abound this week on WiiWare. Furry Legends features fluffy creatures with time-freezing powers and a fascination with physics. And last but not least, a power-crazy robot army determined to destroy the herd of silly Stompies presents a challenge in Monsteca Corral: Monsters vs Robots.

Virtual Console – FATAL FURY 3TM: ROAD TO THE FINAL VICTORY
(900 Wii Points, Neo Geo, D4Enterprise Co., Ltd.)
Released in 1995, this is the 4th game in the Beat ‘Em Up series, “Fatal Fury”.
Previous releases in the Fatal Fury series utilised a two-plane battle system allowing you to move and fight between the on-screen foreground and background planes. Fatal Fury 3: Road to the Final Victory has been revitalised to offer a three-plane format (foreground, background and main plane) known as the “Oversway System”. Characters will automatically move back to the main plane after having spent a certain period of time in the foreground or background planes, keeping you on your toes at all times.

Other new features include Combination Arts (the ability to execute combination attacks with simple button taps), Hidden Abilities (superior versions of previous popular Special Moves and Super Special Moves), minor tweaks to all the characters’ Special Moves and plenty more. This latest instalment provides the best strategies and tactics to date in the Fatal Fury Series. (more…)

June 9th, 2010 Desktop General

Exciting shooters, intense third-person action, authentic sports games and family friendly fare show the versatility of 2K’s biggest E3 showing ever

2K announced its star-studded E3 2010 lineup that includes premier high-quality games for gamers of all tastes and ages. The full scope of 2K’s experience will be on display* in the South Hall at Booth 2823, as the sequels to some of gaming’s biggest franchises will make an appearance alongside the debut of new and exciting additions to their portfolio, creating 2K’s biggest E3 showing ever.

“By delivering only the hot list-dominating games that we want to play, 2K will take on E3 2010 with its strongest lineup to date across all of its divisions,” said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. “The benefit of our strategic approach to this year’s roster of delivering fewer, bigger titles – featuring games like Mafia II, NBA 2K11 and New Carnival Games – is that we can focus on delivering the most engaging and entertaining experiences for today’s broadening gaming audience. From core to casual, 2K will have something for every gamer this holiday season.”

In the past five years, 2K has become one of the gaming industry’s premier publishers, creating titles that are both critically and commercially successful. By developing a mantra that emphasizes quality over quantity, 2K has published a number of multi-million unit selling franchises in a short amount of time for a wide variety of platforms including BioShock, Borderlands, Carnival Games, Sid Meier’s Civilization, NBA 2K, NHL 2K, Major League Baseball 2K and more. This year’s E3 lineup personifies the very essence of the 2K DNA of creating prestigious and meaningful titles that continue to innovate in unique and exciting ways.

The 2K booth will be home to eagerly anticipated titles from 2K Games, 2K Sports and 2K Play. In addition, the 2K booth will be hosting photo-ops with six of Playboy magazine’s most popular Playmates appearances, further enhancing the partnership with Mafia II that features more than 50 of Playboy magazine’s vintage covers and Centerfolds as part of a unique in-game integration. Two Playmates will be present at the booth each day for the full three days as part of the Mafia II Photobooth Experience. (more…)
