Game Review: Infamous 2

In his first post for Culch.ie, Tony has plenty of good things to say about Infamous 2 for PS3. Make him welcome! Ah sequels. As this generation of consoles have already hit their technical limitations and approach their autumn years, we are hit with ever more gimmicky add-ons (Kinect, Move, WiiU) and of course, sequels. In 2009 Infamous came along and - despite great reviews - seemed to go under a lot of people’s radar, mine included. So when it came time to review its sequel I jumped in and promptly found myself lost. Here is a serious caveat; if you haven’t played the original you should do so first before moving on to Infamous 2. Luckily PlayStation have included the first game as part of their Welcome Back offer on PSN, so you can download it and it is impossible to overstate how important this is – Infamous 2 … There’s more →

Hands on with Playstation Move

I went to this preview event with memories of the Kinect event fresh in my mind. Both were excellent events but as far as the event themselves go I’m going to give the Playstation event the edge as there was proper brochures and information to take away, more consoles and more games available to play. But then you didn’t open this page to read my thoughts on an event, you want to here about Playstation Move. I had a similar fear with this as Kinect but it was even stronger for Move, because it’s just looks so similar to the Wii. There is more to this new controller than just a Wii rip off though its also uses Sony’s own 7 year old EyeToy technology to differentiate it from the Wii. Erm Sony, why do you think not one of your competitors have copied the EyeToy? Just saying like.

With Christmas literally weeks away, there will be one question firmly to the front of many people’s minds. What are the latest and greatest PS3 games out there to buy for your kids? I’ve been sent a few games over the last couple of weeks by the very kind people at Sony and have put them to the test: Disclaimer - I have asked my younger sister to help out with these reviews as she is a much better judge than I of games that involve pets or singing! Take That SingStar I am not a fan of any of these kind of games. In fact, I hate them with a passion. I intensely dislike it when parties turn into karaoke sessions, and dislike a Take That addition to the franchise even more. There. That’s my gripe over with. My review would have been quite one-sided so, I requested the … There’s more →
