Here’s the Top 10 list for video games for the month of March 2009. This list is based on actual sales.
Leading the pack, of course, is new release Resident Evil 5. It’s got to be the great gameplay, the awesome graphics or the cool marketing ploys… whatever the reason, it’s a must play for every gamer.
Check out the full top 10 list coming up next…
You can’t put a good game down. The classic KING OF FIGHTING GAMES, Street Fighter, gets a well-deserved remix called Turbo Remix HD. The game doesn’t come in a box. The 6th incarnation of the Street Fighter series is exclusively available by download only to the PS3 and the Xbox 360 via the Playstation Network and the Xbox Live.
Check out the video review by 1UP above.
If you have a PS3 or an Xbox, you wouldn’t want to miss the opportunity to download and keep a copy of this classic fighting game! Final Round…. fight!
Released a couple of weeks ago, Soul Calibur 4, for the PS3 and Xbox is making waves and is the first good fighting game in a while for the new, high definition consoles.
What’s even more interesting is the cast of characters (both old and new) to be included in the 4th installment of this weapon slugfest. The Star Wars characters – Yoda, Darth Vader and his apprentice are a welcome addition to the cast of fighters. Yoda, of course, is my favorite. His signature air attack moves (as seen in the movies) is faithfully replicated and combos are fun to do.
Rocksteady Games and Eidos have just announced the development of Batman Arkham Asylum for the PC. The game, which will also be released for the PS3 and the Xbox has a tentative 2009 launch date.
The initial screenshots for Arkham Asylum look promising. Note that the Joker has the Heath Ledger “look”. Meanhwile, the game runs on the Unreal Engine 3. 1Up has reported that it is played “from a third-person, over-the-shoulder view, with emphasis both on combat and detective work.”
Check out the screenies, girls…
Fellow geeks! E3 is currently ongoing (July 15 to 17) at Los Angeles convention center. And Gamespot just spilled the beans by doing a hands on for 2 levels of Capcom’s prized survival horror title – Resident Evil 5.
Gamespot reports that “Resident Evil 5 is looking like a wickedly good debut for the series on the current generation of consoles. The game appears to be building smartly on RE4′s winning revamp of the series. The addition of Sheva is interesting and the promise of online co-op play has us really excited. Though the gameplay may be pretty similar to that in the previous game, that’s hardly a fault. Resident Evil 5 is slated to ship on March 13, 2009 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.”
It looks better on videos than on words…
That’s right!
The soon-to-be-released Guitar Hero: World Tour has added a drum set, mic and a brand new spanking design to their guitar as part of an entirely package and experience. Obviously in an effort to pounce on Rock Band, the guys at Guitar Hero are at it to make both gameplay and gadgets shine with innovation and clever ideas (like the Music Creator) that I hope won’t disappoint.
What’s new with the GH drums? One word – cymbals! Check it out…
Now they’ve done it!
They pissed off Adam Sessler, host of G4TV. According to Gaming Today, Sessler was playing Xbox Live when a 10-year-old kid started calling him names. Surely, these bigots can’t get enough of ruining a good guy’s day. This doesn’t happen just in Xbox Live, mind you. I’ve seen it (and experienced it) first-hand during the course of MMO playing.
Yes! I agree with you Adam! Let it rip…
Everyone will wake up early today since it’s the launch date of the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto IV (GTA 4) by Rockstar Games.
In fact, the buzz for this game is so hot that IGN gave it a perfect 10 in their review. According to the IGN, the game is perfect in terms of graphics, gameplay, AI and even multi-player. The last time that they gave a game a “10″ was in 1999, to Soul Caliber. Yup, almost a decade ago. GTA 4 is also a strong contender for game of the year.
Meanwhile, check out their video review below and chances are you’ll agree…
She’s one mean mom!
Sometimes moms don’t get mad, they get even. I hope my mom isn’t reading this. At any rate, this mother from Richmond, Virginia USA is selling her son’s Xbox 360 plus all the games because her son didn’t do the household chores. The son even broke the vacuum cleaner on purpose just to avoid cleaning his room.
Surprisingly, there have been NO BIDS on the auction at Ebay. But there are a LOT of comments from netizens.
Included in the item’s description is her full account on why she’s selling it.
That, after the break…
When we go on coffee breaks here at Level Up, we always end up talking about gaming. We compare notes on the best setups, how to avoid 3RLs in Xbox, etc. etc.
This made me think; wouldn’t it be cool to feature and show my readers some of the actual gaming cribs of actual Pinoy gamers? Sweet! ‘Eureka blogging-moment’.
And as debut for “Gamer Cribs” (I thought of that name myself. Wapak!), I talked to Girard Garcia. Girard works for our creative department as senior copywriter and editor. He’s the guy that cranks up all those words in our flyers, websites and press releases. Girard or “Gi” is also an avid console gamer and he’ll show us his setup below.
