Something that might surprise many people is that God of War: Ascension, the latest of the God of War series is only the second PS3 designed game in the 8 year life cycle that the system’s been out. You might be thinking to yourself, that you’ve seen plenty of God of War games on store shelves and you’d be right though they are all ports from the PS2 and PSP with the only exception being God of War 3. The thing I liked about God of War 3 is that it wrapped up the Olympus storyline rather well giving the chance to continue the series with a new beginning. With that in mind God of War: Ascension is not that fresh start, it is in fact a prequel taking place before the events of first game, where Kratos has broken his oath to the god Ares and The Furie. The Furies are the champions of honor and justice who are now hounding him for breaking this oath. Does God of War: Ascension add more to mythos than what we already know or is it just more of the same?

Even though fighters have made a small resurgence in recent years, there either aren’t many 2d sprite fighters, or at least many good ones. Longing for a new iteration of a classic series, Iron Galaxy Studios decided that they would meet the fans halfway and re-release a collection of games from Capcom’s past. Darkstalkers Resurrection is a collection of the arcade versions of Night Warriors and Darkstalkers 3 made in perhaps an attempt to gauge interest in a possible sequel to the series. This review is based on the PlayStation 3 PSN version; the game is also available on the Xbox 360 Xbox Live Arcade.

The Team NINJA-developed title is now available at retailers and via download. In NINJA GAIDEN 3: RAZOR’S EDGE, the most action-packed and feature rich NINJA GAIDEN game ever created, the enigmatic warrior Ryu Hayabusa must save the world from the terrorist occult known as the “Lords of Alchemy” while searching for a cure to the mysterious curse that threatens to destroy him.

The title expands gameplay options with the new Chapter Challenge mode, in which players compete for the highest score in each chapter, and 100 Ninja Trials, the most ever for any title in the franchise’s storied history. The robust Ninja Skills systems lets players use Karma earned in combat to freely purchase weapons, Ninpo upgrades, feats, and costumes. Adding variety to the gameplay, Kasumi, Ayane, and Momiji all join Hayabusa as playable characters. Ayane will get her own story mode while all three female characters can be played in Chapter Challenge mode and Ninja Trials co-op play with multiple costume options.

Ninja Rap references and an entire game based on making as many cool action scenes as possible? Hideo Kojima is my kind of nerd.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance takes everything it does an order of magnitude farther than expected. It somehow marries the inherently conflicting gameplay designs of Devil May Cry and Metal Gear Solid, creating a fusion that, while perhaps not as refined as either series is separately, manages to entertain in sensational manner. It might not be a total surprise that Platinum Games and Hideo Kojima pulled this off: After all, two of Platinum Games’ founders were key creators of Devil May Cry, and Hideo Kojima is, well, Hideo Kojima, but it doesn’t take away from how well the two worlds were merged.
