Review: Red Dead Redemption

Wednesday. 19 May. 2010. 2:07 pm

Rockstar’s summer blockbuster is a Spaghetti western starring ‘you.’

Tomorrow sees the launch of one this summer’s most anticipated games: Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption.

The game can best be described as Grand Theft Auto 4 set in the last years of the cowboy era. Neonpunch was able to play one of the missions from the game and we have to say right now that we can hardly wait for May 20th to arrive and start shooting some sheriffs (but not any deputies)  on either the Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii.

Black Wii: For the Dark Side of Gaming

Thursday. 16 July. 2009. 10:05 am

Nintendo brings you a Wii that will match your PS3 in August.

Nintendo is bringing out a new black Wii in early August to Japan for ¥23,750/HK$1,975. While the white Wii, to us, defines the console, it still is neat to have a Wii that matches our Playstation 3.

Official launch in Japan is August 1, and it should be made available at regular sales outlet in Hong Kong shortly after, or you can run out to Mong Kok on August 2 and find one at an inflated price. It’s exactly the same product as the white one only slicker in black.

Maybe it will make Punch Out seem just that more bad-ass:

Prototype Versus Infamous: The Hong Kong Showdown

Friday. 12 June. 2009. 9:49 am

2 similar games go head -to-head for your console.

infamous_prototype

This week the long awaited Prototype hit stores across Hong Kong for Playstation 3, Xbox and PC. Infamous hit last week exclusively for the Playstation 3 and topped the sales charts in Hong Kong as well.

Now remember these games are not the same game, even though on the surface they look like it. Both feature GTA-like gameplay with superpowered protagonists and both are crazy-ass action games. But which one should you get if you only have a PS3?

Metacritic has them both pretty much neck-and-neck at 85/100 for Infamous and 86/100 for Prototype, reviews on 3 of our favorite game sites seem to lean towards Infamous:

PROTOTYPE
INFAMOUS
1UP B+ A
IGN 7.5 9.2
N4G 7.5 8.7

The race is quite close, so we’re guessing if you want to shoot lightning from your hands or rather turn into a Wolverine-like monster then the choice is clear and even clearer if you only have an Xbox 360. If you have a PS3 then just be happy you have 2 pretty cool games to play at all! Wii owners can go back to Bubble Bobble Plus. We’re just happy we have some new cool games to play with when there’s nothing new to watch on TV and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is still 2 weeks away.

Here is G4′s video reviews for each game, and if you don’t have 8-minutes then the summary is that they slightly lean to the Infamous side:

Live-Action Mario Kart Movie in the Works

Tuesday. 28 April. 2009. 9:44 am

Not really, but we would pay to see this expanded to 2 hours.

What’s going on in France? First we saw a Pac-Man live-action video, and now we see Mario dropping real banana peels into the street. Seeing how bad Speed Racer did we don’t expect to see a Wacky Races or a Mario Kart movie coming anytime soon, so until everyone in Hollywood forgets we’ll have this:
