Hey there gamers! The 2010 Game Developers Conference is coming up next week and the Rumor Mill has started it’s turn!
First thing to come out: Crystal Dynamics, part of Square Enix Europe, will be showing of their upcoming hush-hush title: Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light! You read that right, gamers! After years of being deprived of Lara’s bodacious digital chestal area, lonely gamers the world over have a reason to celebrate!
Not looking forward…at all.
In fact, they’ve already started their web presence threefold:
All three are pretty scant at the moment, displaying only the title Logo of the new Lara Croft adventure. I’m sure that’ll change in the coming days, though. I know! Our favorite top-heavy video-game-heroine is returning to the world!
Stay tuned here to DasReviews for more breaking news as it… well, breaks!
Hey there gamefans. Coming at you with another great video review! Enter: Battlefield: Bad Company 2.
Let me guess, some of you are tired of (dare I say it?) . I mean it’s great and all, but you feel like it’s just more of what you enjoyed from the first Modern Warfare, without any significant improvement. It was cool, but still a big *sigh*.
First of all, how could you spit in MW2’s face like that after all you’ve been through!? You’re supposed to learn how to work things out if they’re important to you. Second of all, if you decide to go the slutty mistress path, there’s always Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Oh, and trust me… as slutty mistresses go, Bad Company 2 is the Wunderslut… and smokin’ hot to boot! DasBoot!
Remember digital warriors, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is available on Xbox 360 and PS3!
Howdy, DasCitizens!? So, we know some of you out there are totally head over heels about Retro Gaming! Don’t get me wrong, I am too, that’s why I’m bringing you a nice little review of this little bad boy: the Dingoo A320 – Portable Emulator / Multimedia Handheld system. All you ROM collectors out there, this system is exactly what you’re looking for.
The Dingoo A320 contains built-in emulators for NES, SNES, Genesis/MegaDrive, CPS1, CPS2, and NeoGeo. Not only that, but it plays music and video! It comes with 4GB of built-in memory, which is expandable via use of a MiniSD card. The system has stereo external speakers, as well as headphone jack and, get this, a TV out. Yup! A TV-out jack. That means you can play all your favorite games on a TV, using the Dingoo as a gamepad.
More Specs:
CPU – Ingenic JZ4732 running @ 336MHz
RAM – 32MB @ 133MHz
I/O – USB 2.0
Display – 2.8″ LCD @ 320×240 resolution
Dimensions – 125mm x 55.5mm x 14mm (4.92in x 2.17in x 0.59in)
I’d say that quite a lot of power and features packed into something that’s barely bigger than a cell phone. But, does it blend? -er, does it work?
I got a chance to sit down with said Dingoo A320 for a few days. I can tell you that it’s definitely worth the price tag.
Why? Well, check out the Unboxing and Hands-on video, first!
Now, the game ran NES, SNES, Genesis, and CPS ROMS with absolutely no problem. There is a bit of upscaling for the older titles, even on the Dingoo’s 2.8″ screen. The colors are nice and vibrant, even when displayed on a larger monitor via the AV out. There is some frame dropping, however, with some of the emulators. This is most notable when playing CPS ROMs on the unit. There are options with the emulator menu that allow the user to turn off automatic frame skipping and even set the frame skip manually. This does cause certain games to slow down quite a bit if you try to run the game at full framerate. I was able, though to find a happy median between framerate and slowdown.
The unit itself is fairly well put together. It feels solid and has a good amount of weight to it. The face buttons have a nice durable feel and are pretty responsive. Although they have a nice click to them, the shoulder buttons are a little too small to feel comfortable during long gaming sessions. I did, however, have a bit of trouble with the d-pad now and then. There was a tendency for the d-dpad to sometimes sense a press in the “UP” direction while I was pressing left or right. It, however, wasn’t pervasive. I only noticed it a handful of times in over 10 hours of game and music play.
The sound chip on the unit is decent, even when listened to through a pair of headphones. In game sound effects come out nice and clear. MP3 playback can be a little tinny. The surprising part about the Dingoo’s sound capabilities: The built-in radio tuner actually works pretty well! You can save presets, so if you really can’t miss your morning NPR and take mass transit to work, this thing is great.
In terms of battery life, the Dingoo clocked in pretty close to its touted 7-hours of use. I was about to make it through a weekend’s worth of listening to music and gaming without a 2nd charge.
What really kicks ass about the Dingoo A320, though, is the online community. It’s fairly large and pretty active. Doing a quick Google search for “Dingoo A320″ will bring up lots of homebrew sites and support forums that make using (and modding your Dingoo) a snap. There’s evena Linux distribution for the Dingoo, called Dingux. According to the forums, that’s when the Dingoo A320 really shines. 2 words: MAME ROMs.
So, I’d say do yourself a favor and pick one of these up! They’re available in black and white (for you Apple fanboys). My old school gaming needs have never felt more fulfilled.
We are at it again, getting ready for our venture to the Gamers Developers Convention (GDC). In this episode we talk on Sony’s exclusive reality show “The Tester”, God of War III (GOW III), riding shotgun rules, and much more. So kick back with your favorite fez on and push play on Das Podcast Episode 2 below.
Greetings gamers! You know, these days, cameras are everwhere! In the bank, at Wal Mart, at traffic intersections, in your cell phone, on iPods, on the Nintendo DSi… they’re everywhere! Why should the Sony PSP be left out?
Well, it’s no longer the lone personal electronic without an electric eye. Elected. Protective. Detective.
Enter: The New PSP Camera, specifically designed for the PSP-2000 and 3000. Check the video!
Available only for PSP, of course… and at a decent price point, too.
Hey gamers! I know you’ve all seen the Epic Beard Man video of an older gentleman serving a kiloton of assbeating to a less old gentleman on an Oakland bus. The word is, Epic Beard Man might be so popular that he’s gonna win a spot on the all-powerful Super Street Fighter IV roster. In fact, we’ve got footage right here:
Is this my tip? Cuz you just got SERVED!
Super Street Fighter 4 is coming out soon for Xbox360 and Ps3!
What is up, my gaming brethren!? Just wanted to introduce you to our new segment here at DasReviews: Das Spoilers! And what better way to kick it off than to share with you all the cutscenes from one of our favorite games: Dante’s Inferno! That’s right folks… don’t feel like playing all the way through the game, but still want to know what happens? We got you covered! Just a couple of items before we start:
Greeting, purveyors of the digital kumite! Have you ever dreamed of combining two of your favorite things to create a singular uber-gadget? No, I’m not talking about a titanium spork… although the prospects are intriguing. I’m talking about a melding of Street Fighter IV and iPhone.
Yes ma’am, that’s right. Your favorite fighting tournament-based game is coming to the Apple iPhone. Say it with me people… do want.
Of course, I have a few reservations, mostly about how precise the game will control on the touch screen. A learning curve is to be expected, but what I wanna know is whether or not I’m going to be cursing the app a month after release because the controlS made me miss a crucial shoryuken.
As far as who’s in an who’s out, Capcom has only confirmed our two sleveless gi’d warriors, Ryu and Ken. A mix of both the pre-SFIV and new to SFIV fighters will most likely be available, as will their complete move sets! Yes, that mean’s the Ultra Combos too.
Of course, Street Fighter just wouldn’t be Street Fighter without a versus mode. That’s where the iPhone’s bluetooth connectivity comes into play. Oh my, the world’s about to become awash in digital fisticuffs. Goodbye, Rock ‘em Sock ‘em Robots.
Get your thumbs ready for some portable Focus attacking come this March!
