Reader Review: Wizardry DLC: Shadow of the Red Sister (PS3)

Recently I got a chance to review Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls, a downloadable title for PS3. I knew going into the review that it was based on an old PC RPG, but I didn’t think much of it. I even wondered why XSEED would even release it in the US. But now I know why. An amazing thing happened after I posted the review: I got a TON of comments from Wizardry enthusiasts! When I got an opportunity to review some downloadable content for Wizardry on the PS3, I knew I wasn’t fit to review it. So I decided to have a Wizardry fan and online friend Tami B. take a stab at it. So here is her review of Wizardry’s DLC, Shadow of the Red Sister.

Import Game Review: Taiko no Tatsujin Portable DX (PSP)

Recently I imported another game from Japan. It’s Taiko no Tatsujin Portable DX for PSP. In Japan there’s a popular series of music games where you hit a Taiko drum to the beat of the songs. A Taiko drum looks like a big barrel sitting on its side, and you’ve probably seen a Taiko drum in many movies and games from Japan, even if you didn’t know it! I really enjoy the Taiko drum video games, so here’s an extended review and blog about Namco’s latest!

SNK Summer School: Guerilla War (PS Minis)

Last of the old SNK pre-Neo-Geo arcade classics that are now available to download on PS3 and PSP as PS Minis is Guerilla War. It was a 2-D vertically scrolling shooter starring two army dudes as they shot guns and threw grenades at enemies in fortified jungle fortresses. So basically, Ikari Warriors with better graphics.

SNK Summer School: Ikari Warriors (PS Minis)

Out of all the old SNK pre-Neo-Geo arcade classics that are now available to download on PS3 and PSP as PS Minis, I bet Ikari Warriors will be the most downloaded. It was a 2-D vertically scrolling shooter starring two Rambo-esque army dudes as they shot guns and threw grenades at enemies in fortified jungle fortresses.
