The Square Enix rep played through the demo twice. The first go, he was stealthy and patient and hid the bodies of any NPCs he had killed. The second time around things got a bit more violent. To show us just how many options you have in tackling missions, he rescued a cop that was being interrogated by criminals and used a fire axe to take out three thugs. This doesn’t sound all that gruesome in text, but seeing is indeed believing.

Just a quick update on Gravity Rush, the Vita game from Silent Hill creator Keiichiro Toyama. I got to play an entire demo at Sony’s enormous booth at CES from beginning to end, instead of a mere few minutes and walked away more impressed than I was before. Not only that, it’s now confirmed to be a launch title in the U.S.
Then there are the people who are complaining that Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is too “cartoony” and unrealistic. Question: When has the Metal Gear universe been anything but silly? There’s a walking, robotic dinosaur that launches nukes (and roars!), cyborg ninjas, clones, and super-soldiers. It’s G.I. Joe, but without the jingoistic trappings. Plus, Kojima has dropped “Solid” from the title, thus denoting that this game will differ from its predecessors.
Capcom’s Devil May Cry HD Collection is arriving this spring–April 3rd, 2012 to be exact.
The most under appreciated Sonic game returns to the marketplace as a digital download on the iOS, PSN, and XBLA platforms.
Overall, Brotherhood played out a bit better than Revelations, but Revelations has the first ending in the entire series that carries a sense of completion. The conclusion to Ezio’s story was so perfect, as with Altair’s, that tears built up in my eyes. And although you come to a big surprise on who the mysterious voice on Desmond’s side truly is, and what Desmond must do next to save the world, the ending makes it a bit easier to wait for the next installment.
At the end, I was satisfied with this snappy, sharp game. It’s a brief one, with jokey end credits and a song full of film quotes and references that suggests the developers had a good time making the game. I had a good time playing it. I would’ve had a great one had they went that extra mile and addressed all those points I touched on to make it even better. Fans of Aliens and action games should check it out.
