Hands On with Persona 3 Portable (Combat Edition)

July 21, 2010 by Leo C · Leave a Comment

Persona 3 was an interesting release back in 2007, coming as it did almost two years after the 360 (one year for PS3 and Wii). It could easily have been one of many forgotten gems, buried in the sand to be discovered only by the adventurous RPG archeologists among us. Luckily, P3 is a fantastic game with a unique flavor of its own. It not only survived its initial North American release but got a follow-up “expansion” a year later. Riding on that success, it has now been ported to the PSP as of the 15th of July.

While the game is not for everyone, after 25 hours of playtime I’ve come up with a quick recipe that may tell you if you’re a candidate for its enjoyment. You take the dungeon crawling and adventure aspect of Shining in the Darkness (or the dungeon crawling bits of Etrian Odyssey, if you don’t remember Shining) and you add a tiny dash of Pokemon catch-em-all madness and teenagers shooting themselves in the head while sprinkling in large dose of Japanese eccentricity. When you’re done stuffing that into the disc you tie it all up with a mysterious plot involving the end of the world you’ve got the beginnings of Persona 3.  For the sake of brevity I’m only going to concern myself with the combat and exploration elements of the game, but be advised that there’s a whole lot more to this package. Sound good? Let’s continue.

“Seriously?!” – SSF4 Celebrity Picks

July 2, 2010 by Leo C · Leave a Comment

You didn’t think only normal, sweaty palmed, gamers played Super Street Fighter 4 did you? Of course not. I have it on good authority that plenty of celebrities enjoy a little pixel combat from time to time. I bet that you, like me, wonder all the time what characters some of those people you see on the news would play. Well, wonder no more! I took the liberty of sending some monitor cyborgs interviewers to check out a couple of key targets.

Intuitive, As Opposed to Better

June 29, 2010 by Leo C · Leave a Comment

I apologize in advance if this seems only tangentially related to gaming but it seems a good time, with Kinect and Move evangelists flailing about, to speak to the topic of alternate UI and control schemes. Whether you love them, or hate them, chances are that when it comes down to discussing Kinect, Move, Wii waggle or voice control you’re missing the point. As a hobbyist developer I feel fairly comfortable in telling you that UI design is brutally difficult, so much so that it’s easy to believe UI stands for Unintuitive Interactions rather than User Interface.  I’m not trying to be an apologist here, I’m simply pointing out a truth.

Rock Band 3 Can “Teach” You the Power of the Ivory

June 10, 2010 by Scott · Leave a Comment

It’s probably not news anymore that a keytar is making it into Rock Band 3.  (I have to pause writing this for a minute, because I have no idea if I spelled that right since it hasn’t been in pop-circulation for 20+ years.  FYI, I did).  The real question is, did you realize that you’re going to be able to “learn” the actual instruments this time around?

Cautiously Optimistic – Now in 3D!

May 28, 2010 by Leo C · 5 Comments

As usual, the first people to be publically excited about new innovations in the entertainment space are the manufacturers of said innovations.  This year’s electronics shows have borne many 3D gadgets, from the long array of televisions announced at CES to Nintendo’s promise of a 3D handheld this E3.  In response to all of this beating of drums the overwhelming gamer response I keep hearing in regards to 3D is a growing chorus of groans.
