Update: "Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate" (2013) "Uniting Gamers Across The World."

Nintendo confirmed today, that US and European gamers will be able to play and UNITE online between their games. Plus it doesn't matter what system you have this game for uniting is a must!


Another cool aspect for our Wii U users, is this will be a game you don't need your TV for. This game can be completely played from the tablet controller. I don't know how I personally feel about that seeing as that's a lot for a tablet. BUT we believe in Nintendo, look at the demo.

Remember 3DS users, no circle pad needed, everything will be available from the touch screen! SO 3DS XL users will feel even better!

Today I was able to sit down and play the Demo for the new Monster Hunter game. Which I was very surprised on how well it was for a DS game. The preview had to playable parts a beginners and of course a expert level. Both we're timed at 20 minutes and both had you on a mission with some great helpers (Shown in the picture above)  to find either a huge bear like monster or dragon respectively.

You have to use the touch screen as you go along this helps you change camera angles (meaning you will not need circle pad pro 3DSXL users) And also to cycle through your items. You are on right off the bat loaded up with tons of goodies and have to decide what kind of character you want to play as. I choose shield and sword to start which kicked ass! Pardon my french but I was able to slice and dice all the monsters that came my way. Both play throughs I started destroying the monster you have to hunt and both times ran out of time :(

I need more than 20 minutes to kill something I guess. Graphically the game is not up to par with "Orcania of Time" but who cares it's "Monster hunter" it's great Teen graphics. The controls feel nice and smooth you have a kneel down button (on touch screen) so you can harvest the monsters you kill. Also you can run fast (If you weapon is in the sheaf). And also the map which is also located on the touch screen which you can find exactly where your missions are.

I've been a fan of "Monster Hunter" since I bought my PSP. And this one doesn't feel like a typical one it has more going on. Though it looks the same it plays more or less like Nintendo Skyrim. This is good seeing as the game will also be released for the Wii U alongside the 3DS.

They've been rumors that the game will have cross game play, being the first between the two consoles to combat with the PS3 and Vita. Of course graphcially the Wii U will look more stunning than the 3DS it's good to know I start my missions on Wii U save and pick up where I left off on my 3DS. Thank God Nintendo is taking a step in the right direction for the future. It also has been confirmed that there will also be online playability between the two versions. Plus who knows what the multiplayer could hold? I could be playing on my 3DS and my buddies on their Wii U hunting everything possible. (Video Provided by Gamespot)

With these aspects of game being proposed and what I've seen all ready looks like "Monster Hunter 3 Ultmiate" will be a formiable game for Nintendo to battle against the likes of "World of Warcraft" and "Elder Scrolls V: Skryrim"

Review: "Playstation All Stars: Battle Royale" (2012) "A Fight Battle For Coexistence"




Ever wonder what it would be like to play as Nathan Drake"Uncharted" , or go toe to toe with Cole from "Infamous" then this game is for you! Ever want to play a game on your PS3 then pick up again on your vita? Or want to challenge others from all current Sony devices then this game is for you!

So let’s quickly get this misconception out of the way that is, "PlayStation All Stars: Battle Royal" a complete rip off of  the "Super Smash Bros" series? In short no, the main concept is of course but many other companies use other games as inspiration so Sony shouldn’t be knocked for taking a great idea like super smash brothers and injecting a very welcome and intelligent combat system with all the iconic and even a few welcome third party characters. Plus Nintendo missed one major concept. The fact that you can play the game on your vita or ps3. I mean for the price it's great you get two games!

We are all Nintendo fan's here but we're sick of waiting for the "Super Smash Bros." for Wii or even Wii U with cross game play for the Nintendo 3DS.

Now starting it off all the characters are immediately unlocked meaning that there is really
no reason to do the single player story other than to get the trophies and to get familiar on how each
character handles and how their specials work. Which is a distinitive difference in both games, seeing as how you have to unlock characters in "Super Smash Bros." Another difference between "PlayStation All Stars" and "Super Smash Bro"s other than the characters is that the only way to beat your opponent is to use a super attack.

There are three levels to a character’s super level one being the weakest and the easiest one to interrupt or dodge. Then the level two which is much harder to interrupt or dodge and finally the
level three which for the most part is impossible to dodge depending on which character activated it. Also another noteworthy addition is that every character handles completely differently from the other with completely different attack, grabs, and supers to boot.

The character that I was immediately drawn to was Dante from the "Devil May Cry" series he handles quite well and I found myself having a lot of fun. I loved pulling off
long complicated air combos keeping my opponents in the air for a good period of time.

Unfortunately the character roster is quite small only 20 characters to start off I believe but Superbot has promised more characters to come as free downloadable content. Also none of the items in the game are memorable I can only name about two of the items off the top of my head and that is the Hedgehog Grenade from "Resistance" and Medusa’s head from "God of War". Also some of the characters are simply too overpowered either because of their size or sheer aggressiveness. For example "Sackboy" builds up action points far too quickly which is how you execute your supers and is impossible to hit because of his small stature, or "Sly Cooper" can infinitely teleport his way around the battlefield using his smoke screen ability which has no cool down time whatsoever and his level one has a ridiculous kill range.

In conclusion "PlayStation All Stars: Battle Royale" is a fun addition to Sony’s already large roster of
games bringing all of your Sony characters together and watching them beat the "crap out" of each other and with very few character balancing issues. There is always room for improvement in games, but Sony does strive for excellence as always.

Greatest Reviews gives; "PlayStation All Stars: Battle Royale" (2012) 4 stars out of 5. Due to character selection though there is hope in the the future for move characters. Plus with cross game play you can't go wrong. This is by far Sony's best cross game-play game and they saved the best for last ending the 2012 year.
