Game Review: God of War 3 PS3

Thanks for tuning in for another episode of Express 120! This week we review God of War 3, one of the 3 most anticipated games for the Playstation 3 (other two would be Metal Gear Solid 4 & Gran Turismo 5). According to Agent Diaz, this "glorified hack & slash" is just another action game. Soybomb refers to it as well done graphically, on the shorter side, and at some times boring. What? Listen to Joe "The Master" Yu defend the game and compare the length of the game to other popular games already out on the market. Even the Peanut Gallery has something to say about the game.

The Applemonkey informs us of issues with the 120 version of God of War 3. Listen to the episode to find out if you should buy it or not. Joe spits truth about the fact that games are turning to crap because of lazy developers. Read his Back in the Good Old Days article about what is wrong with today's game industry mentallity.

Game Industry News

Joe, Agent Diaz, and Quan talk about the leaked pictures (site translated by google) of the alleged 360 Slim mobo. Joe confirms it's authenticity. Whether or not a slim 360 system will be released is still unknown.

New board + old case = awesome/cheaper system
New board + new case / Project Natal / internal hard drive / ... = wtf microsoft?

Oh yeah and something called Onlive was announced. Uhmm yeah. They're calling themselves, "The Future of Video Games". 1080p streaming through your internet connection. Huh? That's what we said. Listen to the episode for more information.

In other news, the passing of video game composer Jun 'Nujabes' Seba passed away in a fatal car accident. He is probably best well know for the opening song of the anime, Samurai Champloo. He will be missed.

Rarity of the Week

This week's rarity is Arkanoid with one hell of a 120 NES controllers, the Vaus Controller. The Applemonkey explains to us what Arkanoid is and why it's 120.
