PS Fanboy Week in Review: 2/4 - 2/10
The only thing that kept this PS Fanboy editor from going insane whilst writing five reviews in five days was this gory batch of new screenshots from God of War: Chains of Olympus. Shows you how far handheld technology has gone from the Game & Watch days.
Reviews
Turok (PS3)
"Perhaps it's meant to be an accurate simulation of being in a dark cave. Apparently, that isn't a very fun thing to do."Devil May Cry 4 (PS3)
"A sometimes-problematic camera doesn't play nicely with platforming, but such annoyances are rather few and far apart ... DMC4 manages to refine the franchise to a new level of polish."The Cryptics (PSP)
"At $2.99, you won't lose much for trying it out ... and it's something we'd love to see more of in the future."Go! Puzzle (PSP)
"Go! Puzzle offers an extensive amount of content at a price that's just right."Downstream Panic! (PSP)
"Don't let its saccharin sweet exterior fool you. Downstream Panic! is one hardcore, ****ing difficult game ... when you see your fish friends explode in an amazing display of blood and guts, you will think again."Bomberman Land (PSP)
"When did Bomberman stop using bombs? That's the big question you'll ask yourself as you trod through this tiresome collection of mediocre mini-games."
