GamingUnion.net: Dead or Alive: Paradise Review

GamingUnion.net: "Dead or Alive: Paradise leaves as little to the imagination as possible without hitting an adults-only rating, but is limited by the graphical ability of the PSP. It's a game that can't be taken seriously, and the designers show that they know that quite well. There's tons of replayability to be had in Paradise, and for gamers looking for this kind of experience, the game delivers almost as best a PSP game possibly can in that regard. Although extremely shallow, it's evident that a focused effort went into designing the game for its target audience. For that reason, this game is specifically for those who like the idea of staring at and playing with digital babes on their PSP, and mobility attached to that. If you fall into that demographic, Dead or Alive: Paradise is recommended for you. For all other gamers, Paradise is not for you by a long shot."

What can you really say about this...

mephman5137d ago

That's an incredible achievement in game design.

This is really one of those "You love it or hate it" type games. Me and my girl are BIG fans of the 1st DOA BV on the 1st Xbox. It sucked we couldnt play co-op though. We then tried the 2nd one on Xbox 360 and HATED it, they totally screwed up the game play. On the 1st one the game play was pretty tight, the second one was just awful. You could be PERFECTLY lined up to revive the ball and I swear they would make you miss on purpose to keep the game score close. I have no idea why they made it like that.

I haven't played this PSP version yet but so far my girl is loving it so I guess they went back to the original play mechanics. Fun game, just a very niche title.

Games and sex themes: getting things right

Digitally Downloaded writes: "The reality is though that, just in real life and in the other forms of art out there, sex plays a much greater role in games than many realise. The obvious games featuring bikinis, shirtless hulking men and interactive sex scenes are just the tip of the iceberg; underneath it is a host of games where sexuality is a metaphoric theme or artistic construct.

Below are ten games that I think are especially effective in how they make use of sexual themes. Some are obvious, others are more academic in their application of such themes"

Let's Take a Look: Portable Design

Writer: Thomas Williams

The standard platforms for game design are either PCs or home consoles, both of which normally exist within private, stable, and controlled conditions. Thus, given the design of home games, the environment in which they’re played is not given much thought. Portable games on the other hand are interesting, since they can be played in a multitude of places, all of which can have an effect on gameplay and design. How does one effectively design for a portable game? How can we make them better? What are the main principles behind portable games? Well, let’s take a look.

Very true it's an oft understated aspect of portable game development.

Metal gear solid peace walker managed that transition very well. Which is a good way to contrast the two ways of developing within the same genre.
