PSX Extreme: Twisted Metal: Head-On: Extra Twisted Edition Review

PSX Extreme writes: When it comes to intense vehicular combat, there's Twisted Metal, and then about a dozen posers. In other words, if you want the best possible action experience featuring crazy vehicles equipped with ridiculously insane weapons, you know where to turn. It came as fantastic news to all TM fans when we learned a new installment would soon arrive on the PlayStation 3. But rather than wait around for that, why not try out Twisted Metal: Head-On: Extra Twisted Edition for the PS2?

It boasts a port of the PSP's Head-On along with a bunch of extras, including three "lost" levels from 2001's Twisted Metal: Black, the "Twisted Metal: The Dark Past" documentary, and even a few new characters! Priced at the very appealing price of only $20, this is a no-brainer purchase for any fans of the series, and a definite "consider" for anybody else. And remember, the sad days of 989 Studios ruining the third and fourth entries in the series are long gone...Jaffe and Co. came back for Black and haven't relinquished the reigns. Thankfully.

Finally, a post about Twisted Metal that doesn't have that stupid clown image! :P

TheSanchezDavid4830d ago

As much as I like darker Twisted Metal games, I really dig the more lighthearted style of Head-On.

ThatOneGuyThere4830d ago

This twisted metal is great fun online and locally. My biggest gripe is the connectivity issues. SERIOUSLY FIX THIS SH!T.

TheSanchezDavid4828d ago

Yeah, I really dig the newest Twisted Metal. The online issues are a pain, but when you get an online game going, it's a helluva lot of fun!

Five PS2 Collections That Sony Should Release

KingPS3.com writes, "Since the release of the God of War collection late last year, similar PS2 collections have been proposed and hyped by gamers for release on the PS3. The next collection on the list for release, The Sly Collection (Sly Cooper games), was revealed at E3 and received much praise.

Just yesterday, Sony boss Shuhei Yoshida said that the company would love for more PS2 game collections to be made, but they "are not ready to announce anything yet."

However, just today, a listing on Amazon's French website showed that a collection called The Team Ico Series would be coming to the PS3. So that makes three collections for the PS3 so far, what's next? Here's our top five picks for what should be made into collections next."

Lucreto5436d ago

I would love to see a Suikoden collection.

I would also like Jak collection and a Ratchet collection.

qface645436d ago

um why would SONY release most of the ones on that list?
(note how sony is capitalized)

ExcelKnight5436d ago (Edited 5436d ago )

@qface64 Sony could provide the dev studios to do the HD ports. Or just plain publish them if the respective companies don't want to invest in that.

@Lucreto YES, Suikoden collection including the Gaiden games (that we never got), Card Stories, and a proper (read: consistent) localization of the games. (Sindar/Cyndar is one blatant example)

Blacktric5436d ago

For starting; they should definitely release Metal Gear Solid and Grand Theft Auto Collection. It'd be just epic.

MagicAccent5436d ago (Edited 5436d ago )

.. And that is Shadow of the Colossus and ICO.
After that I'll shut up about it and be happy panda.

Imperator5436d ago

All the good Crash games were on PS1 and they're on PSN already... I think.

SG-175436d ago

SOCOM I and II.
Ace Combat 4, 5, and Zero.
Star Wars: Battlefront I and II.

TooTall195436d ago

Dark Cloud collection please.

DRiX5436d ago

I would KILL for a DC HD collection!

R_aVe_N5436d ago

I want a Dark Cloud collection myself!

Heavenly Sword's Nariko Action Figure Coming in July

Gamervision: "Getting an early look at DC Comics' solicitations for February of next year sure has its advantages. One of them happens to be seeing just what their action figure plans are for the coming months. Well, next July, you can expect some really sweet ass figures based on Sony characters like Nariko and Sweet Tooth.

This won't be the first time that DC has plasticized Sony properties. The company's DC Direct branch already has plans for a Resistance 2 line, as well as a series based on Ratchet and Clank. We reported on those a while back, and I'm still looking forward to getting my hands on that Ratchet series this December. Why they're choosing for Nariko and Sweet Tooth to get figures this long after their last respective games have shipped is beyond me, but that's not going to stop me from getting my hands on both of them. That Nariko figure is particularly sweet, what with the flowing red hair and all. Not to take anything away from that Sweet Tooth figure, but I've got enough shirtless male gaming characters wielding knives adorning my desk as it is."

Does this suggest a possible sequel?

NeoCloud5660d ago

Really cool, i will get the HeavenlySword Action figure, I really hope they release Uncharted Action figures soon [Not like HS 3 years after the game].

barom5660d ago

Hoping for a sequel as well over here. Cmon Sony, just put the project on a decent developer.

orange-skittle5659d ago

How can there be a sequel if she died? Are you ppl that stupid or you just like to start dumb rumors like a 12 year old kid on the internet?

jack_burt0n5659d ago

Nariko confirmed for GOW3 and sweet tooth getting a twisted metal reveal @e3 10 woot!

monkey6025659d ago

orange-skittle

A bit harsh no? No need to be an Ass-hole

I'm pretty sure the developers were concidering making a sequel if the first sold well enough

FACTUAL evidence5659d ago

And NARIKO! But can we get a side of trophy support with this action figure!? XD

barom5659d ago

Ninja Theory (the Heavenly Sword developer) actually wrote a trilogy. Nariko's death does not mean that no one else could take over. It was rumored to be Kai or whatever Nariko's sister name was.

argh i hate this game! bought it when i got my slim, its one of the few games ill never finish and im quite happy with that.

whothedog5660d ago

3 years later... oh, heres where we put that Nariko doll. :)

Ratchet and Clank is cool, I would play with them in my bathtub.

Ngai5660d ago

I found this game entertaining. Was one of the best games in the early days of ps3. But an action figure? Meh.. too late too. It's sad this game didnt get the attention it deserved. Kai was cooler btw imo.
