My first, and only, play through of Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune is one on my favorite experiences with my PS3.  It isn’t the greatest thing that ever happened to the system (that would be the blu-ray player), but it’s one of the most entertaining action/adventure games and the sequel is looking to improve upon it in every way.

The biggest problem with Uncharted was that after beating the game, there wasn’t much to do afterward.  Uncharted 2 is looking to fix that with the addition of a new multiplayer mode.  Fearing that it would be a Gears of War clone, I waited impatiently in line and gripped the controller like I was getting ready to drive for the first time.

With E3 oficially at a close, we here at Gamer Limit were fortunate enough to sit in on many press conferences of some of the biggest names in the industry. Finding my way into Bethesda’s conference room, a small hovel consisting of 16 chairs, an Xbox 360, and Splash Damage founder and studio director Paul Wedgwood, my dreams of seeing Fallout: New Vegas quickly diminished as Mr. Wedgwood introduced his brand new FPS IP, Brink.

We had a great opportunity in the show floor meeting rooms to meet with Andy Hong, Project Manager for the new FPS MMO Huxley: The Dystopia.  We were able to snag an interview from him, and afterwords, get our paws on a short hands-on demo of the PvP aspects of this interesting game.

E3 is over, but that doesn’t mean Gamer Limit has ran out of things to cover!

New Super Mario Brothers Wii came as a surprise announcement for some, and a sigh of relief for others, who had heard the rumored confirmation leak some weeks ago. Many nostalgic gamers (myself included) have always wanted a traditional 2D Mario game that supported multiple players simultaneously. Although taking turns with 1-3 was fun, obviously no one wants to wait on the sidelines. Jump right in and find out if playing with 4 players is feasibly an option on a single screen. Read more… »

As the final day of E3 2009 came to a close, sighs of relief and sadness echoed through the halls of the Los Angeles Convention Center. But before I could be ushered (see: dragged) out of Square Enix’s floor show, I was able to get my hands on the eagerly anticipated DS “interquel” to critically acclaimed hits Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.

When you get naked, do your expended, voluptuous under-garments manifest into a giant dragon? I didn’t think so.

Prepare to enter a world of witchcraft, gunplay, and gratuitous skin: enter Platinum Game’s Bayonetta. Read more… »

Today we had the pleasure of sitting down and chatting with members of the Atlus Online team.  Alice Ly, Brandon Cushenberry, and Palmira Farrow gave us a demonstration of their new Atlus Online website, their community, and their new MMO, Neo Steam: The Shattered Continent.

The universe of heavy metal is one which carries a lore rivaling that of any great science fiction or fantasy masterpiece.  However, both of the latter genres have been explained and expanded to the point of exhaustion, while heavy metal’s lore remains much a mystery.  Folks assemble in dim, dank venues to worship seemingly possessed musicians as they summon the melodies of Lucifer.  Participants use their hands to flash cryptic gestures, their garments display dark symbols, and they thrash about one another like maniacs.  All these conventions of the tradition metal scene have remained an enigma for years.

That is, until Gamer Limit laid their hands on Brutal Legend. Read more… »

EA’s behind closed doors demonstrations at E3 all work the same way. You line up outside of small cubicle-like rooms, waiting to watch a developer show you some of the coolest parts of a game: after all that, you may or may not get to play it. Dante’s Inferno was one of the latter cases, and although I was extremely disappointed in missing out on a hands-on experience, the video was well worth the wait.

If you’re wondering whether EA’s last statements regarding Dante’s Inferno “not doing anything new” are true, I’ll tell you now: it really doesn’t. But that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t look spectacular, and seem like a ton of fun to play.

(Note: EA didn’t allow us to take pictures of anything regarding the demonstration, but the above header is from the official EA E3 press kit). Read more… »

Beginning on the first day with Sony’s press conference, I’ve been left in awe by the sheer amount of titles for the PS3 and PSP being displayed across the show floor. With 35 PS3 exclusives expected by the end of the year and a total of 364 games gracing Sony platforms – many of which highly-anticipated – some may claim that the “Best of E3 Award” deservingly belongs to them. And I couldn’t agree more, particularly after demoing the new PSP fighter, Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny.

I kept telling myself that the existence of a re-imagined Silent Hill 1 on the Wii wasn’t a bad thing. Somewhere, in the wide world of sports, someone would be able to bring the classic back to life, and instill into it a kind of force that only Gods or Chuck Norris could stop.

If you haven’t seen the screenshots or watched any of the videos, go watch them after reading this. Climax’s new rendition of Konami’s storied franchise happens to be one of the best looking games on the Wii, and perhaps the most promising.

Nintendo. Dear, sweet, Nintendo. What has happened to you? What has overcome all that is good and holy in your corporate soul? What happened to simple pleasures, some wholesome gaming with a tad of that branded genius. You sold yourself to a common street trend, and now, well, you’ve crossed the line.

You finally made something almost completely useless. Not somewhat useful, but completely irrelevant for anything involving gaming. I honestly don’t want to know what was going on in the R&D/Management meetings when this was conceived.
