genre: Racing platform: PlayStation Vita / PSP / PlayStation developer: Cellius / Bandai Namco Entertainment publisher: Bandai Namco Entertainment
这部作品随PS主机同时发售,是NAMCO与街机宿敌世嘉的又一次正面对抗。由于PS主机在设计之初就参照了NAMCO的SYSTEM11系列主板的硬件规格,所以本作能够很好的在PS上得以再现,其移植度比起SS版“梦游美国”可谓是高下立判。该系列一贯的甩尾系统从本作就开始确立,游戏的操作感以及速度感都非常出色,画面质量和帧数也十分稳定,充分展示了PS主机的优越性能。FAMI通给本作打出了37分的高分,80万的销量也成为了系列一直到PS2版5代所保持的水准,如此稳定的支持度在整个业界都是罕见的。而读盘时可以玩“小蜜蜂”、赛道上可以看见“小精灵”等细节之处无不体现出NAMCO“120%移植”的严谨态度,令人赞赏。

Maybe I don't understand something.

The visuals are gorgeous (even though there's pop-in), the music is amazing, but the handling and collision models are some of the worst I've ever seen in a racing game. This is practically unplayable for me. And the amount of content here is so minuscule, it feels more like a demo.

genre: Adventure platform: Windows / macOS / PlayStation 3 / PlayStation Vita / Linux developer: David Kanaga / Ed Key publisher: Curve Studios
Ed Key和David Kanaga联合开发的游戏《Proteus》刚刚赢得2012年独立游戏节最佳游戏奖。作为获奖者,《Proteus》赢得了5000欧元的奖金。《Proteus》是一款自由探险类游戏,在游戏中玩家置身于一片美丽的自然环境中向各处进行探索。该游戏的自由度类似于Minecraft, 现在已经有测试版放出,相信这款游戏会得到玩家的好评。

Proteus是个有趣的名字,这是希腊神话中一个冷僻的海神的名字,因其能千变万化还能预知未来,且仅告诉捕捉到他的人而闻名。因而也给这个词汇本身带来了变形的含义。海王星也以此命名
怕是会误导很多人。这款游戏和mincecraft有着相当大的区别,特别是在形式上,而有趣的是在核心中又有着星点的相通
从游戏类型上很难给Proteus分类,因为它是不是一款游戏都有待商榷。但Proteus却给了我从开始接触游戏一直到现在,最美好的30分钟体验。而且迥异于其他一切游戏所带来的

Racing Hero IGDB
1989-06-01
genre: Racing platform: Arcade
Race a motorcycle against other bikes, cars, trucks and the obligatory tight time limit. Racing Hero is the spiritual successor both to Sega's wonderful "Hang-On" series, and to their most famous racing game, "Out Run".

Some of Racing Hero's stages mirrored the racing-through-traffic gameplay of the Ferrari-based racer, for example perhaps the biggest similarity to Out Run is that at the end of each stage, the player can choose which route he or she wishes to take next. This differs somewhat from "Out Run"'s highly impressive forked-road method. In Racing Hero, the player is presented with a seperate stage-select screen and simply highlights the flag of whichever country they wish to tackle next.

I don't remember the original OutRun much, so I can't say whether this is a clone of it, but it definitely reminds me a lot of OutRun 2, which I still remember very well. The structure of races is very similar. There's traffic, a time limit, checkpoints and ridiculously long drifting sections. It feels very rewarding to execute these insane drifts avoiding all the traffic, but the game is very difficult. I couldn't beat it.

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of OutRun, but I know a lot of people deify it. This is a game for them. Very nice graphics and music, a very polished game for the time. If you're an OutRun fan, this will probably be a 9/10 for you. As for me, I found it mostly frustrating.

When I first saw the cartridge for this game as a kid, I couldn't believe this could possibly be the first MK game. I had known and played 2, 3 and 3U, but MK 1 seemed like an almost legendary mythological artifact. So in my disbelief I asked the seller which entry in the series this was, and she apathetically replied "8th". I'm not sure whether she didn't know or didn't care, perhaps both. So I asked my mom to buy it for me and went home happily anticipating what new features MK 8 has compared to 3U.

Anyway, I'm glad they're remaking this game now, because it was pretty outdated even when I first played it, let alone now. Pretty unbalanced and clunky, with some annoying button-mashing mini-games, but its general presentation and lore are still impressive, and the basic gameplay formula still creates an engaging experience, despite quite a minuscule amount of content. Still, it doesn't really give you anything that the following entries don't.

An exercise in frustration. One of those games where you have to hover over every pixel on the screen to find items, and then click everything with that item to figure out what to do. It is impossible to understand what the game wants you to do without some sort of clairvoyant abilities. Sometimes you talk to a person and it yields no results, so you don't try it again, but turns out the second time you talk to them it does. This kinda logic makes you get stuck on every little plot development until you've exhausted all the possibilities. It's the needle in a haystack game design.

And, as a Lovecraftian horror game, it has no atmosphere, mystique or suspense. The tone is more befitting an action movie than a work of cosmic horror. And they show you aliens in the very beginning, thus destroying the horror element. It's like this game was directed by Stuart Gordon, although even he managed to retain SOME horror in his movies.

MKII Bangumi
other title: 真人快打II / Mortal Kombat 2
genre: FTG platform: ARC / SNES / Genesis/Mega Drive / GG / Game Boy
Mortal Kombat II (commonly abbreviated as MKII) is a fighting game originally produced by Midway for the arcades in 1993. It was later ported to multiple home systems, including the PC, Amiga, Game Boy, Sega Game Gear, Sega Genesis, Sega Saturn, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, and various PlayStation consoles, mostly in licensed versions developed by Probe Entertainment and Sculptured Software and published by Acclaim Entertainment (currently distributed by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment).
Mortal Kombat II was the second game in the Mortal Kombat series, improving the gameplay and expanding the mythos of the original Mortal Kombat, notably introducing more varied finishing moves (including several Fatalities per character and new finishers, such as Babality and Friendship) and several iconic characters, such as Kitana, Mileena, Kung Lao, Noob Saibot, and the series' recurring villain, Shao Kahn. The game's plot continues from the first game, featuring the next Mortal Kombat tournament set in the otherdimensional realm of Outworld, with the Outworld and Earthrealm representatives fighting each other on their way to challenge the evil emperor Shao Kahn.
The game was an unprecedented commercial success and was acclaimed by most critics, receiving many annual awards and having been featured in various top lists in the years and decades to come. The game caused a major video game controversy due to the series' continuous depiction of graphic violence. Its legacy includes spawning a spin-off game Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks and having the greatest influence on the 2011 reboot game Mortal Kombat, as well as inspiring numerous video game clones.

This is where Mortal Kombat comes into its element, however I don't consider this the best in the series, as some people do.

I love the more surreal environments, new characters and faster gameplay, but man is this game difficult. I have no idea how I played it as a kid, now I can barely beat the first two guys in the pyramid. I managed to beat a few more, but every time I win it feels like dumb luck. And the way the AI can duck like 3 times in a row milliseconds before my attacks, makes it feel like it's cheating.

Plus MK has never been the most balanced or polished fighting game. I never particularly loved it as a kid, and I don't really do now. The best thing about it for me has always been its presentation. And MK2 is just that: great presentation, flawed gameplay, that would probably be pretty fun in front of a TV with your friend. But playing it alone these days feels like masochism.

This game is like one step forward and one step backward.

The gameplay is clearly better, with sprinting, attack chains and arena transitions. The presentation is probably the best in the series, as on top of the martial arts and surrealism of the previous entries it adds apocalyptic and urban imagery. Also probably best music in the series.

But I think there are fewer environments, which makes the game feel repetitive. And the difficulty is arguably even worse than the previous game due to the smaller amount of credits. The character roster, which everybody seems to hate, isn't that bad imo, but it definitely feels smaller than it should. Don't get why they had to throw away basically already thought-through and tested characters, when most of the gameplay is basically the same.

And of course the Ultimate edition later made the original version obsolete.

A key feature of the game are mini-games done in the same style as the cutaway gags that the show is famous for, usually lasting less than 10 seconds. The mini-games often repeat cutaway gags from the shows, such as Peter inexplicably burning his hand in a waffle iron. Successfully completing the mini-game offers a bonus: Brian becomes invisible for a short period, while Peter and Stewie receive power-ups for their respective abilities.

I originally dropped this because of the controls, but this time I was playing on the Vita, so I was able to bind movement to the left stick and aiming to the right. Once I stopped struggling with the controls, I realized just how slow and clunky the movement is and how unengaging the shooting is. There are visual similarities to Panzer Dragoon, but Panzer Dragoon is a much more mobile game where enemies come at you in various patterns you constantly have to adapt to and quickly react to. That's not the case here.

A new triad gang called the Golden Kane is gaining strength in Hong Kong and starts to openly threaten the Dragon Claw with it's leader James Wong, the oldest and most powerful clan. His daughter Billie Wong once had a relationship with a cop and got pregnant with Teko. One day both get kidnapped by the Zakarov Syndicate. The name of the cop who got Billie pregnant is Inspector Tequila. He is a veteran Hong Kong cop who doesn't really work by the book but has his heart in the right place. When a cop gets kidnapped (and killed) by the Golden Kane, Tequila starts investigating, against the orders of Captain Ed Lee.

You take on the role of Tequila and not only get the copkillers but also unwillingly help the Dragon Claw because of Billie and her daughter. But the task isn't an easy one since hundreds of enemies stand between him and his goal which mostly end in killing a boss or blowing stuff up.

To deal with all those bad guys Tequila has not only his fists and his trusty Enforcer (dual wield pistols) but also gets access to machine guns, shotguns, grenades and rocket launchers. But this won't be enough either. To give Tequila the ultimate advantage he also has access to Tequila Time and Tequila Bomb.

Tequila Time is like the Bullet Time in Max Payne. It slows down time and allows Tequila to better react to the situation. You can either activate it manually or it gets activated automatically if you perform a jump or interact with your environment. You can slide over tables, roll around on carts, run up stairrails and kick over tables to use as cover.

The Tequila Bomb are super moves like a Health Boost or a Spin Attack (white doves included). To fill up your Tequila Bomb Gauge, you either need to find hidden Origami Cranes or earn Style Points.

You gain Style Points if you kill your enemies during a Tequila Time move or by using your surroundings. If you are fast enough you gain Style Combos which not only fill up your Tequila Bomb Gauge faster but also multiply your Style Points. These Style Points can then be used to unlock all sorts of concept art from the main menu.

Since John Woo greatly influenced the development, you also take part in Mexican Standoffs. In these you are surrounded by some enemies and Tequila takes them on one by one but he can only lean to left and right to dodge the incoming bullets.

The game also features an online multiplayer mode with statistics. The two available game modes are Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch for up to 6 players.
