Jim Reilly of Kotaku: "I had a chance to sit down and get a nice long demo of upcoming SOCOM: Confrontation for the PS3. As someone who wasn't big into the previous titles in the series before, I wasn't sure how in the hell I'd like this one. As it turns out, it's very easy to pick up and get into. And of all the major PS3 releases this fall – and there's a lot of them - SOCOM is the game you might want to keep an eye on.
It seems like every online shooter coming out nowadays is held to a much higher standard than before when it comes to features and modes. Everyone is trying to outdo each other by having larger multiplayer maps, better cover systems, or smarter AI bots. So it was refreshing to see that SOCOM: Confrontation went the simple route and included none of these."
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."
Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.
Still a good game though.
3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them
2.
Dmc.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best
Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...
5, 3, 1, 4, 2.
I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.
But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.
what if u already love psn then does it make u forever hate live and love psn for systems on, not trying to sart a flame war just askin
I'm with the author on this so far...Nothing I have seen gameplay wise has really made this a day one purchase so far...I read an article in PSM that talked about how it does have a 'peaking' cover system controlled only by sixaxis motion...which sounds pretty risky to me, although no preview has really commented on it so far...so maybe it is very subtle or simply works very well...
and the visuals...it looks at times pretty unimpressive; at least what I have seen...explosions and particle effects look pretty good...but character models looked extremely flat, which was very annoying being that its a TPS (the first thing that stands out in MGS4 imo is how stupid good snakes suit looks)...
but who knows...maybe I am looking for little things because there are already like 5 games I will be buying right away this fall...I have never played much of the franchise either, so I'll see how much I like it closer to release...a demo or beta would be perfect for me...
But ofcourse LBP,Socom and Home will make my love for Sony PSN even stronger.
Like seriously, the 360s lineup is just Sh!t!
Even though these arent the original makers, the name alone keeps me wanting more. I know ill definately be enjoying this game online.
