The Ultimate Edition of Fallout: New Vegas has just launched, combining last year's bestseller with all four DLC packs and two add-on packs bringing new weapons, ammunition and recipes to the party.]]> http://www.playerattack.com/news/2012/02/09/whats-in-fallout-new-vegas-ultimate-edition/feed/ 0 http://www.playerattack.com/news/2012/02/08/postal-3-everything-youve-heard-is-true/ http://www.playerattack.com/news/2012/02/08/postal-3-everything-youve-heard-is-true/#comments Wed, 08 Feb 2012 13:21:23 +0000 Rohan Harris http://www.playerattack.com/?p=24351 Postal 3. How can you, when a game has review scores that peak at 3/10 on Metacritic?]]> http://www.playerattack.com/news/2012/02/08/postal-3-everything-youve-heard-is-true/feed/ 0 http://www.playerattack.com/news/2012/01/26/preview-twisted-metal-ps3/ http://www.playerattack.com/news/2012/01/26/preview-twisted-metal-ps3/#comments Thu, 26 Jan 2012 13:27:03 +0000 Jessica Citizen http://www.playerattack.com/?p=23834 PREVIEW: When a demented icecream truck trundled onto the stage at Sony's E3 2010 press conference, the crowd went - appropriately - mental. Twisted Metal is the longest-running PlayStation-exclusive franchise (a fact which surprises everybody, you're not alone), running strong ever since the first game crashed onto our screens back in the days of the original PlayStation.]]> http://www.playerattack.com/news/2012/01/26/preview-twisted-metal-ps3/feed/ 0 http://www.playerattack.com/news/2012/01/23/preview-fifa-street-ps3x360/ http://www.playerattack.com/news/2012/01/23/preview-fifa-street-ps3x360/#comments Tue, 24 Jan 2012 06:58:59 +0000 Jessica Citizen http://www.playerattack.com/?p=23748 PREVIEW: We hear a lot about negativity in video games - but have you ever thought about how much negativity there is in real-world games, too? Look at street soccer. The urban cousin of the Beautiful Game has two major objectives. One obviously, is to score as many goals as possible. The second though: Humiliate the defender. That's it. And that's what's captured in FIFA Street, due out next month from EA Sports.]]> http://www.playerattack.com/news/2012/01/23/preview-fifa-street-ps3x360/feed/ 1 http://www.playerattack.com/news/2012/01/23/preview-grand-slam-tennis-2-ps3x360/ http://www.playerattack.com/news/2012/01/23/preview-grand-slam-tennis-2-ps3x360/#comments Mon, 23 Jan 2012 09:09:14 +0000 Jessica Citizen http://www.playerattack.com/?p=23710 PREVIEW: If you love tennis so much that you're already getting depressed over the fact the Australian Open will reach its inevitable end by this time next week, EA would like to offer you an olive branch: Grand Slam Tennis 2 hits consoles in Australia and New Zealand starting February 9th. You'll still have to survive a week and a bit without any on-court action, but this dangling carrot should make things a bit easier.]]> http://www.playerattack.com/news/2012/01/23/preview-grand-slam-tennis-2-ps3x360/feed/ 0 http://www.playerattack.com/news/2012/01/18/preview-uncharted-golden-abyss-vita/ http://www.playerattack.com/news/2012/01/18/preview-uncharted-golden-abyss-vita/#comments Thu, 19 Jan 2012 06:14:30 +0000 Jessica Citizen http://www.playerattack.com/?p=23619 PREVIEW: We were lucky enough to get our hands on a PlayStation Vita for just a few short hours earlier this week - and spent some quality time with Uncharted: Golden Abyss - the newest adventure for Nathan Drake, released as a launch title for Vita (and yes, it's got full English-language support).]]> http://www.playerattack.com/news/2012/01/18/preview-uncharted-golden-abyss-vita/feed/ 0 http://www.playerattack.com/news/2012/01/14/preview-final-fantasy-xiii-2-ps3x360/ http://www.playerattack.com/news/2012/01/14/preview-final-fantasy-xiii-2-ps3x360/#comments Sat, 14 Jan 2012 08:31:41 +0000 Jessica Citizen http://www.playerattack.com/?p=23499 PREVIEW: Final Fantasy XIII-2 is a do-over, a second chance for Square to get things right. So far, it looks like the devs have mostly figured it out. The game's due out in February, so here's a sneaky peek at what's in store.]]> http://www.playerattack.com/news/2012/01/14/preview-final-fantasy-xiii-2-ps3x360/feed/ 0 http://www.playerattack.com/news/2012/01/11/review-star-wars-the-old-republic-pc/ http://www.playerattack.com/news/2012/01/11/review-star-wars-the-old-republic-pc/#comments Wed, 11 Jan 2012 21:07:26 +0000 Matthew Sharpe http://www.playerattack.com/?p=23414 REVIEW: When BioWare finally revealed Star Wars: The Old Republic, everyone nodded their head and felt vindicated. It was what we were all expecting the company to do one day, so nobody was really surprised.]]> http://www.playerattack.com/news/2012/01/11/review-star-wars-the-old-republic-pc/feed/ 1 http://www.playerattack.com/news/2011/12/30/review-ico-shadow-of-the-colossus-ps3/ http://www.playerattack.com/news/2011/12/30/review-ico-shadow-of-the-colossus-ps3/#comments Sat, 31 Dec 2011 01:31:34 +0000 Chad Habel http://www.playerattack.com/?p=23174 REVIEW: Shadow of the Colossus is the go-to example for the “games as art” argument. Released towards the end of the PS2 lifetime, it pushed the processing power of that generation to the brink and slightly beyond, and is burned into many memories as one of the greatest and most innovative games ever made. Edge called it "a fiction of unquestionable thematic richness, of riveting emotional power, whose fundamental artistic qualities are completely fused with its interactivity". It’s hard to disagree, though it also shows its age a little, given developments in technology and game design in the past six years. Unlike Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, however, this is very much a re-release rather than a remake, in that it boasts few new features. The re-release of such an iconic game is bound to produce different reactions based on experience playing it upon its first release, so it’s worth having a discussion about the Collection from these different perspectives.]]> http://www.playerattack.com/news/2011/12/30/review-ico-shadow-of-the-colossus-ps3/feed/ 0 http://www.playerattack.com/news/2011/12/29/review-ace-combat-assault-horizon-x360/ http://www.playerattack.com/news/2011/12/29/review-ace-combat-assault-horizon-x360/#comments Fri, 30 Dec 2011 06:38:14 +0000 Chad Habel http://www.playerattack.com/?p=23167 REVIEW: Growing up on a diet of After Burner and Top Gun has given me a soft spot for arcade fliers, and the new Ace Combat instalment scratches that itch. Namco Bandai has delivered another strong contribution to the genre that will attract new players and satisfy open-minded veterans, but will probably annoy purists.]]> http://www.playerattack.com/news/2011/12/29/review-ace-combat-assault-horizon-x360/feed/ 0
