DmC: Devil May Cry | Review


Posted on March 7, 2013 by Jason Fayta

Version tested: PlayStation 3

Devil May Cry returns as DmC, a new vision for the series by developer Ninja Theory, who are responsible for Heavenly Sword and Enslaved, two games that lean more on adventure than action. With that statement alone, Devil May Cry fans have expressed their displeasure, to put it mildly, with the shift in direction, and in some cases, have written the game off entirely. But, a new vision doesn’t necessarily translate as a wasted effort, and DmC is no slouch when it comes to delivering stylish action.Read More

Capcom announced today that they have firmed up the release date for the next game in the Lost Planet series across North America on June 25th. Coupled with the release date announcement is a brand new trailer for the game as well as a ton of new photos (links to those below).

During one of these missions, Jim comes under attack from E.D.N. III’s indigenous Akrid, causing his Utility Rig to fall down an icy fissure, leaving him unconscious and injured. Jim wakes to find himself in what appears to be a secret base, hidden beneath the planet’s frozen surface. On discovering he was rescued by one of the base’s inhabitants, Mira, the daughter of Snow Pirate leader, So’ichi, Jim realizes that NEVEC are not the only human inhabitants of E.D.N. III.

The 2012 Top Five


Posted on January 15, 2013 by Broken Joysticks

Editor’s note: Staff at Broken Joysticks will be sharing their top five games, or game related stories, from 2012 throughout the week. We’re continuing the feature with the top five from our editor, kashhoward.

For me, 2012 was a year with many games I anticipated releasing to great success, and some falling short due to various choices. Since I’m always playing fighters, it’s less common for me to purchase the newest games. While I had to omit some games that I never got to play from my list, here are my top five games of 2012.

The 2012 Top Five


Posted on January 13, 2013 by Jason Fayta

Editor’s note: Staff at Broken Joysticks will be sharing their top five games, or game related stories, from 2012 throughout the week. We’re starting the feature with the top five from our contributing reviewer, Jason Fayta.

It’s hard to believe 2012 is over, and it’s equally hard to believe we’re already two weeks into 2013. Overall, I found 2012 to be a solid year for releases, but I can’t say there was a title I was completely enamored with, which lead to some difficulty in rounding out my top five releases from the year. However, as I went through my playing history, certain games began to stand out as titles I found most compelling, regardless of their flaws. So, without further ado, the top five…

Resident Evil: Revelations Outed By Achievement List


Posted on January 11, 2013 by Joshua Rust

It appears that the 3DS exclusive Resident Evil: Revelations may be coming to the Xbox 360 if a recent listing of achievements it accurate. While not officially announced, this all but confirms that it will be coming out soon. It’s just a matter if this will be a retail release or released via Games On Demand. Personally I think the latter option will probably be what happens seeing how both Resident Evil 4 & Resident Evil: Code Veronica received similar treatment last year.

Scoring in at a solid 82/100 over on Metacritic it’s clear to see that this game was well received by the critics and would we a welcoming addition to the Xbox 360. Resident Evil: Revelations boasts a return to the earlier series style of games – where you had limited ammo and the game centered around puzzle solving and exploration.

For the 3DS version, the camera is set in the over-the-shoulder position and the protagonist is able to move will firing a weapon (with the option of switching between first and third-person perspectives). Another feature that was implemented on the 3DS version is Raid Mode – which is pretty much a horde mode that allows two players to run through it together.

It’s not clear if these features will be implemented into the unannounced version for the Xbox 360, but when we have more details we will be sure to bring them to you!
