Bending (the ability to control one of the four elements by moving your body) is obviously a large part of what defines the Avatar universe. But it’s not just some kind of generic “magic” – it follows distinct physical rules, and every style of bending is based on a real-world martial art. Airbending is based on ba gua, waterbending on tai chi, earthbending on hung gar, and firebending on northern shaolin kung fu. Opposing styles aren’t just defined by their elemental dichotomies, but by the fundamental differences in how they demand you move your body. Adapting each style into fun gameplay is an extremely technical task – one at which THQ Australia repeatedly failed when they had the license. Platinum’s experience with brawlers as diverse as MadWorld, Bayonetta, and Metal Gear Rising makes them well-suited to capturing the subtleties of the show.
Carlos writes "There have been enough new releases these last few weeks to keep players occupied for a good old while. If you count backwards compatibility arrivals then we may just be spoilt for choice, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t keen to see what new deals will be arriving with the weekly Xbox Live Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale bargains.
Today brings a fresh new batch to choose from, but which discounts available between the 25th April and 1st May 2017 should you be looking to splash the cash on this week...and which should you be ignoring?"
Korra is worth a look at its current price, especially if you're a fan of the series
After the cancellation of Scalebound, Platinum Games seems doomed to collapse. But can they find retribution on the horizon?
'Doomed to collapse'.
Haha. Much drama... they expect people to read this s***?
Jamie from the Xbox Enthusiast Team Reviews Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants In Manhattan for Xbox One.
I hate that this isn't the perfect 10 I wanted it to be, but I'm glad that there is still some positives worth mentioning. Great review Jamie.
After Transformers: Devastation did a Transformers action game so well, giving transformations, combat, freedom, and a Transformers story and telling that felt straight from the old cartoons, it's disappointing that TMNT couldn't turn out to have the same magic. I was looking forward to this one considering it seemed like Platinum had the chops to do it some justice, but it looks like they couldn't quite figure out how to balance more allies consistently battling at the same time and the same level of exploration.
I feel like at this point, TMNT would be done more justice with a throwback 2D title like the SNES days. It's a series that just has had a hard time finding its way in the modern age of film and gaming.
Not that it matters but why is this tagged for Wii U when it didn't (but should have) come out for it.
Well Nickelodeon certainly isn't.
