Week in Games: Prison Tycoon?

Kotaku writes: "Big week for new releases to take advantage of the Labor Day weekend shopping. Tuesday, Tiger Woods gets his Jesus on and Disgaea 3 comes out. Thursday, the highly anticipated Castle Crashers finally arrives on XBLA. And Friday, we have not only The Sims 2: Apartment Life, but also Prison Tycoon. If you rent in San Mateo, don't buy both, one will cover your entire range of experience."

Tri-Ace still uses their old game engine from 2008

The gaming community lately makes jokes about companies making games that look like "PS3" or "PS2" games. While this is such a nasty dig, there may be some truth to this in the case of tri-Ace.

Sad really. I used to love these guys but man...they just aren't what they used to be.

phallusitator742d ago

According to the this they are exactly what they used to be…

The Cod games have been using an engine built in the mid 90s. Nothing wrong with using an old engine if they update it. Bioshock used UE2 and looked better than most UE3 games. Arkham knight used UE3 and looked better than most UE4 games.

I would give my left nut for an infinite undiscovery pc port

Sh it does suck but I enjoyed star ocean 6 the most out of any game last year. I thought it was solid af start to finish. My favorite game that year.

I'd love for Sony to get ahold of them.

To late to edit but I just wanted to add not every game that comes out needs to push a consoles boundaries. Star ocean 6 looked fairly good to me.

shammgod742d ago

Yeah. They definitely squeezed every drop out of that engine for SO6. It was a fun game

I assume you are talking about "Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness" which I do have and am still playing. IMHO it is a good game but for some reason I still prefer "Star Ocean: The Last Hope" that I played on my PS3.

As a side note I have "Star Ocean: Till the End of Time" (PS2 version) which I played on my first gen PS3 but unfortunatly the Australian version of the PS3 did not have full backwards capability like the US version did. I got so far in the game and hit a bug (advancement to a new area between two mountains) that prevented further play.

Why Humongous Entertainment's educational games are timeless

From Gameshub: "Iconic Humongous Entertainment games like Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo, Spy Fox in “Dry Cereal”, Pajama Sam: No Need To Hide When It’s Dark Outside and Pajama Sam 2: Thunder and Lightning Aren’t So Frightening are being ported to Nintendo Switch in February. For anyone who grew up in the edutainment era, it should be a wild blast from the past.

The 1990s and early 2000s were a time of great change for young children. While ‘fun’ had previously meant going outside, throwing a ball around or playing dress-ups with family, the adoption of computers at home and in school meant that ‘fun’ slowly began encompassing digital games, too."
