| Review: Saints Row: The Third is The Craziest Game You’ve Ever Played Posted: 11 Nov 2011 09:20 AM PST Even as our consumer rights are slowly whittled away by binding arbitration clauses, draconian DRM, and “online passes,” we gamers still remain an awfully spoiled lot. And if you don’t believe me, here’s a stunning example: the asking price of the original NES Metal Gear in 1988? 50 American dollars. The cost of a fully remastered bundle containing Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid 3, and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker (not to mention bonus remakes of the original MSX Metal Gears 1 and 2), purchased in 2011? 50 American dollars. As a pure value proposition, that’s nearly impossible to beat; and, given the amount of finely crafted video game content contained in this little package, it’s unlikely that you’ll find a better disc to grace the system of your choice — though it helps to be on board with the polarizing quirks of the Metal Gear series. As a disclaimer, I feel it necessary to admit I’m a fan of most things Metal Gear, though it’s equally important to inform you that I haven’t let fanboyism shield me from its many flaws. Regardless of its various missteps, though, Metal Gear remains one of the few gaming franchises that exists solely as an auteurist expression, something that’s becoming increasingly rare in these design-by-committee days of game development. That said, either you jive with Hideo Kojima’s unique brand of lunacy, or you don’t; and no amount of high-def polish is going to change your mind. While the Peace Walker portion of this collection has been granted a much-needed overhaul to controls and online play, parts 2 and 3 are simply prettier — and these were very pretty games to begin with. Many would argue this collection provides the perfect opportunity to revamp the odd controls of Solids 2 and 3 (which were idiosyncratic at the time), but you only have to look at how Silicon Knights’ attempt to do just this in The Twin Snakes resulted in a horribly broken game — and besides, it’s highly unlikely that Hideo Kojima would allow Bluepoint Games to alter even a byte of his legacy.

| Skullgirls is The Fighter That Every Competitive Player Should Pay Attention To Posted: 10 Nov 2011 09:17 PM PST The only thing that is likely to surprise you about Rockstar’s 10th-anniversary conversion of defining open-world classic Grand Theft Auto III is that it exists. A proper portable rendition of GTA has seemed an impossible dream since the pre-GTAIII days, when the older games in the series appeared in chopped-down form on Game Boy Color. Even the PSP games, slick as they were, felt compromised. But now here’s GTAIII, complete, just as you remember it, on iPad. In some ways, it’s better than you remember it, as Rockstar has tweaked the graphics to run at full iPad resolution. The textures don’t seem to have been touched much, so it’s still kind of smeary, but it does the trick. Such fidelity comes at a price, though: GTAIII will only run on A5-powered iOS devices (specifically, iPad 2 and iPhone 4S — Siri, find me an all-weapons cheat code) and “certain Android devices.” Posted by: admin in Gaming News Thank you for Visiting Gameforumer.com, Hope you enjoyed the stay with us. |

It seems to me that the developer is abusing the Qinggong feature found in games such as Blade Soul and Age of Wulin. How can someone float and windwalk in the air while wearing such a bulky armor?! I know that Yulgang 2 is based on fantasy, but so is Blade Soul in my opinion. Argh. If you missed the official trailer posted before, here it is again below.
