PS3/X360/PC Preview - 'Mirror's Edge'

by Rainier on Jan. 1, 2006 @ 1:30 a.m. PST | Filed under E3 - Post - E3 2008

Genre: Action/Adventure
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Developer: DICE
Release Date: TBA 2008

The first thing you should know about Mirror's Edge is that if a first-person shooter has ever made you motion-sick, or if you have a crippling fear of heights, this game will hit you like a hammer between the eyes. It is not for you.

Xbox/PC Preview - 'TimeShift'

by Rainier on Jan. 1, 2006 @ 1:30 a.m. PST | Filed under E3 - Pre - E3 2005

Genre : Action
Publisher: Atari
Developer: Saber Interactive
Release Date: Fall 2005

If there’s one thing I took away from Time Shift, it’s slow-motion clouds of gore.

As the name might suggest, Time Shift is concerned with issues of time-travel, and grants the player the ability to stop, slow down, or totally rewind time around his onscreen self.

This allows you, among other things, to blow a man into a messy red spray, complete with flying chunks of human meat, then stop time so you can admire the effect. It’s really very Jackson Pollock, in its way.

Genre: Action
Publisher: SEGA
Developer: PlatinumGames
Release Date: September 2009

Let's be frank here: There's still not a whole lot we know about Bayonetta. We know it's being developed by PlatinumGames — formerly Clover Studio, the hardcore heroes of the last console generation. We know it's being put together by Hideki Kamiya, the creator of Viewtiful Joe and Devil May Cry.
