Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker – Walks Among The Best

JetFable — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 07:02:15 +0000

It’s true that we never tried to hide our blatant distaste of Metal Gear solid 4, a crappy piece of work that Hideo Kojima tested his fans just to see that he could get away with doing such disservice and he was right — most people didn’t notice it was bad; juxtaposed against the masterpiece MGS3 Snake Eater, which we thought to be one of the best told story of all times. Peace Walker on the PSP follows the footsteps ... More...

3D Dot Game Heroes — Retro Love Letter

JetFable — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 02:54:34 +0000

It really is impossible to not talk about this game with a sly smile on our faces. 3D Dot Game Heroes is the ultimate homage to the NES-era games; in fact we would describe it as the porn for the 30 year old — those of us who grew up playing the first Zelda and Dragon Quest. We once saw people on message boards commenting on this game as a blatant rip-off of Zelda; they are missing the point — ... More...

Babylonian Twins HD on the iPad – A Frustrating Treasure

JetFable — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 06:18:41 +0000

Ever since we got our hands on the iPad, we refused to touch our iPhones (except when talking to people we don’t hate), the 1024 x 768 screen is just so much nicer than the tiny iPhone and graphics on the iPad almost seemed superior to the PSP and DS (pay attention to the word almost); hoping to find some hardcore gaming experiences on this new gadget, we got our hands on Babylonian Twins HD, after our satisfying experience with ...

Muramasa — A Lush Painting lacking the Substance of its Predecessor

JetFable — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 06:16:20 +0000

Muramasa: The Demon Blade was actually the first game we booted up on the Wii back in our tiny office. We are huge fans of Vanillaware, the Developer of the sleeper hit Odin Sphere, which Muramasa is the spiritual successor of. Odin Sphere probably belongs to one of our top 10 favorite games on the PS2. Being a 2D game consisting entirely of hand-drawn sprites and backdrops, Muramasa is the one game that doesn’t suffer from performance issues on the ... More...

More No More Heroes Please, but not on the Wii

JetFable — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 22:26:04 +0000

We recently got our hand on a wii — we don’t really keep one in the office, no offense to Nintendo or anything, but it just isn’t a console for the hardcore, not by a long shot. Yes we are aware that the Wii sells like hot cakes, but just like cupcakes, we don’t get the appeal of it, simply to say — we recognize the fact that people who are different than us greatly outnumber us, thus explaining the ...

Genetos — A History Lesson in Vertical Shooters

JetFable — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 20:50:04 +0000

We came across Genetos after reading a post from Gamers With Jobs, and after we spent a 20 minute session playing through the game, we were awed. To describe the experience in a sentence it would be that it is a game that teaches the player a lesson of progress, of evolution, of the genre; and that genre obviously being vertical scrolling shooters. We recommend that every fan of the genre, or simply anyone who has encountered any shooters in ... More...

Darksiders: The Art of Plagiarism

Zilla — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 20:35:45 +0000

Darksiders wasn’t a game that we had looked forward to playing, somehow it missed our radar and then landed in our lap after all the good things and bad things we have heard about it, two contradicting views that got us intrigued. Our verdict is that it isn’t a bad game, and depending on what kind of gamer you are, it might even be worth your time or money. I’ll get right to the point and say it, Darksiders lacks ... More...

Bayonetta Oozes Style

Zilla — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 20:55:46 +0000

I wasn’t planning to like Bayonetta, with all the attention it was constantly getting all last year from the gaming journalist world, I was getting very sick of the very mention of her name — or maybe I was justjealous. I was determined to hate Bayonetta, since I was not fond of the overly pretentious and lack-of-substance Devil May Cry series, I ended up tolerating it while I went through the game, and I even liked it a little at ...

Dear Zelda — We Got Over You Already

JetFable — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 21:47:47 +0000

The Zelda tune was something that I always carried with me from childhood, like most of the Castlevania and Mario BGM music, I hummed the tune from Zelda in high school whenever I was feeling down, it had the ability to ensorcell me with magical delight, as if it teleported me instantly to the fantasy Hyrule. It was as memorable as the Xmas Carol, more so. There was a long gap, almost a decade after I played the 2nd Zelda ... More...

Fond Memories of the Decade — Little Big Planet

JetFable — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 07:38:41 +0000

It’s been a little over a year since Little Big Planet emerged and brought life to the stale PS3 online community. For the first 2 months it was out, my girlfriend and I played it incessantly, and for almost a year it has been collecting dust on the cabinet shelf under our TV. The Sackies – Level of the Year, brought my attention back to adorable Sackboy and his fantastic world of LBP. I can’t with a good conscience call ... More...

PixelJunk Shooter — Gradius meets Metroid

JetFable — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 00:19:31 +0000

We have looked forward to PixelJunk Shooter for a while even though we weren’t a fan of Q-Games’ previous works. PixelJunk Shooter not only did not disappoint, it is definitely one of the best original games on PSN, next to Fat Princess and Flower. This is a shooter that makes you think, as a matter of fact it is a puzzle-exploration game disguised as a dual-stick shooter. We took a while before we could settle with the tag-line of this ...

Saboteur — the Artsy Swan Song of World War II Paris

JetFable — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 18:37:39 +0000

Saboteur, the last game made by Pandemic Studio, now officially closed down as the next victim of EA’s long history of destruction of talented game development studios, just does not deserve all the hate from reviewers of prominent sites. To put it frankly, we have never liked any one game Pandemic has created so far during the years so we were oblivious when we heard of its demise. Now putting our hands on Pandemic’s swan song achievement of the combination of art and ... More...

Assassin’s Creed, the Legacy of Kain of this Decade

JetFable — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:09:09 +0000

Assassin’s Creed 2 was a pleasant surprise, that it trumps its prequel in every way that was possible, was not something we had anticipated. The fist Assassin’s Creed was not a terrible game, we even admitted that we liked the game for the fleeing moments that it lasted — while its grave mistake of repetitive mission structure (only 3 different mission types) was inexcusable, its uniqueness lay in building upon the basic Prince of Persia gameplay, lifting it onto a ...

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, is like Junk Food

JetFable — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 09:03:29 +0000

I am probably the only person in the world who is going to criticize Uncharted 2, not that it is bad or anything, it is like eating junk food — a bag of crispy potato chips with a root beer ice cream float, knowing it is bad for your health but you will savor every last drop and morsel anyway. It is like picking up the best-looking girl in the bar and finding out later that you have to pay ... More...

Metal Gear Solid 4 is the Worst Best Game Ever

JetFable — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 17:00:16 +0000

Widely known as one of the best video game ever, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is in fact not, but one of the worst games you have to play. And to not play it would be like not reading the last 10 pages of the book while everything culminates to the false promise of a climatic conclusion, and basically drop that ball on you and crushes you with that sour feeling. Metal Gear Solid 4 is like ... More...
