Killzone: Mercenary Review

It was not so long ago that people thought there would never be a proper first-person shooter on consoles; the only way to accurately control a FPS was with the mouse and keyboard of a PC. Then came Goldeneye 007 for the Nintendo 64, proving that FPS could be done on a console and done well. Fast forward to the last decade, and a similar debate has erupted. Could handheld consoles ever be able to support a good first person shooter? Many had tried, and all have failed. I’m here to tell you today it can be done. Killzone: Mercenary is the Goldeneye 007 of portable FPS.

Sony: “Triple A Exclusives” in Development for PS4

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe head honcho Jim Ryan confirmed that there are “triple A exclusives” being developed for the PlayStation 4 by Sony’s family of studios. Talking to MCV, Ryan responded to a question about why Gamescom was lacking a big game announcement:

“You are on a never-ending treadmill of these events and you have to get the balance between doing too much at one and not having enough at the next. We felt having that slightly different approach at Gamescom worked. But then you will have different days, when someone – hopefully me – will get on a stage and announce a triple-A exclusive, because those games are being made.”

Sony claims there are no big surprises left to show at the Tokyo Game Show, so the most likely time for announcement would come at Spike TV’s annual Video Games Awards show.

The PlayStation 4 will launch on November 15th in North America, and on the 29th in Europe.

The next entry in the classic puzzler/platformer Lemmings franchise is coming to the PlayStation Vita. The game will feature over 100 levels and will make use of the Vita’s touchscreen capabilities to allow the player to select individual lemmings and designate their roles. To save screen space, a radial pop-up menu will appear every time a lemming is selected. The touchscreen will also be used to aim cannons, set platforms, and move objects for the cute, green-haired creatures.

Developer d3t is also promising brand new, colorful environments with plenty of touch objects. d3t also teased that not all lemmings are what they seem. What does that mean? We will have to find out when more details for Lemmings Touch are revealed “soon.”
