Review: El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron
Review:
El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron: "
El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron: "
Shaddai or shouldn't I?
El Shaddai has everything you could ever want from a Japanese game. It has a transforming robot made out of motorbikes, a moonwalking dance master throwing shapes in front of the screen whilst you try desperately to fend off his minions, doves with boxing gloves for heads that gently but assertively butt you out of the air mid-jump, and so much more. Anybody who has ever spent time rummaging hopefully in the import section - it's out in Japan now, with a Western release planned for later this year - was hoping to find something like this.
And despite the fact that everybody's clothes come off as they take damage, there are absolutely no uncomfortably young-looking ladies in improbable outfits. Instead, there are topless blonde angel hunks and eerily naked humanoid blob-things. And giant, masked and armoured pigs. And monocular pyramid-headed Guardians that turn into giant bats. And and and.
El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is the maddest and most beautiful thing I have played since... I don't even know. Probably Space Channel 5. It takes you on a breathtaking aesthetic journey that begins with strange, abstractly tribal landscapes and majestically solemn religious imagery before cartwheeling off in completely unexpected directions. The only thing that even remotely compares to it in terms of visual impact is Child of Eden. El Shaddai isn't perfect, but it doesn't have to be; it's unique, and that's much more important.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution E3 trailer goes all in on story
Deus Ex: Human Revolution E3 trailer goes all in on story: "
IGN’s gone live with the E3 trailer of Deus Ex: Human Revolution. The clip mainly focuses on the story, but there is still some gameplay footage to boot. Don’t be too surprised to see it get a couple of game of show awards in Los Angeles next week anyway. Watch the trailer below.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution launches in the US on August 23 and August 26 in the UK for PS3, 360 and PC.

Age of Empires Online Launches August 16: "
Age of Empires Online will be released on August 16, one year after it was officially announced. The free-to-play strategy allows players to assume the role of either the Greeks or Egyptians and promises more than 40 hours of gameplay without ever dropping a dime on microtransactions.
Age of Empires Online will be released on August 16, one year after it was officially announced. The free-to-play strategy allows players to assume the role of either the Greeks or Egyptians and promises more than 40 hours of gameplay without ever dropping a dime on microtransactions.
The game is a major departure from previous Age of Empires titles. Previously known as Project Spartan, players have a persistent city that can be built up when not playing through traditional real-time-strategy missions. It had been in development at Robot Entertainment but Microsoft suddenly revealed in February that Gas Powered Games was taking over, claiming it was 'the plan for some time.'
The game will be available through the official website and at retail. The latter option includes the exclusive Greek Pack containing the premium Greek civilization; Windy's Wild Widgets Store, a retail-only store; a hotkey reference guide; plus a poster and cards. Even if you buy it at retail, you'll still be downloading the game -- the front of the box labels it as a digital download which, besides being redundant, isn't a surprise given the game's online focus.
