We’ve been subjected to some bad Kinect games this past year and a half. Maybe it’s time for a really good one? I’m stepping on board the fully mechanised Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor bandwagon, because here is a Kinect game that looks fun and — this is key — appears to use the Kinect sensor sparingly.
I’ve yet to see a trailer for Capcom’s Kinect-and-controller Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor that didn’t impress me. I’ve even seen people play this game and it doesn’t look dopey (it seems that you don’t use the Kinect all that much.)
After I played Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor last month at Microsoft’s spring showcase, I called it the hardest-core Kinect game yet.
Dark Souls is harder than a coffin nail, but it’s a very successful video game. For that reason we’re not too surprised to hear From Software confirm that it’s not done with the series, but it’s a relief nonetheless.
Role-playing game Dark Souls was, for many players, the best game of last year. Yet, like many titles, there were bugs and frame-rate issues. From Software, the game’s developer sure sounds unhappy about that.
The Armored Core games, from Dark Souls‘s developer From Software, give players the experience of controlling a giant mecha. As you can imagine, giant mechas are complex machines and, thus, so are Armored Core‘s controls.
Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls. Two of the nastiest, most unforgiving game of this console generation. So why the hell are they looking so adorable?
From Software, the studio behind Armored Core and Dark Souls, is currently working on a Gundam Unicorn game. It is a PS3 exclusive, and it will be out next year. More info in the link. [Mecha Damashii]
