“Diablo III” (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360) Review

 

Sixteen months. That’s how long it took Blizzard to do a console version of their hack & slash action game, Diablo III. Which may be small potatoes when you consider it took them twelve years to make this sequel to 2000’s Diablo II in the first place, but still, taking sixteen months to do bring a PC game to consoles — where, it could be argued, it should’ve been all along — that’s a long time to wait.

But now that it’s finally available on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, with a PS4 edition due out next year, it’s hard not to think that if there was any sequel worth waiting sixteen months for, let alone a dozen years, this would be it.

GAME PREVIEW: Chivalry: Deadliest Warrior

On the Spike TV show Deadliest Warrior, experts would discuss the fighting techniques of famous soldiers throughout history, and debate which combatant would win if they were pitted against each other.

Now a Deadliest Warrior-informed expansion for the game Chivalry: Medieval Warfare will let PC players find out for themselves…WHO IS THE DEADLIEST WARRIOR! DUN DUN DUN!

Well, okay not now; the expansion isn’t out until the fall. But you get my point.

Set in the studio’s theater, the event consisted of a previously seen trailer, a live demo — which was running on a PC and is representative of how the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game will look — and a Q&A session with director Hideo Kojima and art director Yoji Shinkawa that we were not allowed to record.

GAME REVIEW: Puppeteer

With lots of running and jumping in a two-dimensional world so photorealistic that it looks like it’s made of wood, cloth, and Elmer’s glue, Puppeteer is going to remind a lot of people of the LittleBigPlanet games. Heck, it’s even got a British narrator. But this adorable and inventive platformer from SCE Japan Studio (which Sony is publishing for the PlayStation 3, naturally) is different enough that both lovers and haters of L.B.P. might get a kick out of it.

The 7-inch tall figure is modeled to look like the ’bot when he’s running the bank, hence his top hat, cufflinks (and cuffs), monocle, and mustache.
