Hands-On Preview: Divekick – Dumb But Delicious
Divekick is dumb. Divekick is so dumb. Divekick is amazingly dumb. Divekick is the most fun I had at PAX East this year.

All right, this is big, you guys. Seriously. Did anyone know that Lulu actually had cornrows this entire time?! I mean if she didn’t already look intimidating enough, this is just Overkill (So punny). In all seriousness, the high-definition remaster of Final Fantasy X is looking fantastic. While there are still no screenshots of Final Fantasy X-2 in HD yet, if the FFX pictures are any indication, they are also bound to be gorgeous. The revamped graphics really do make a [...]
While at PAX, Yami, Keith, and I ventured outside of the showroom floor to a nearby hotel to get a hands-on look at the Wikipad: the first tablet with a detachable controller. Its creator, James Bower, gave us a demonstration of the tablet and I have to say, I was fairly impressed. Hit the jump for my thoughts on what went down.
I’ve always been iffy on runner games. Sure they’re an arcade-like experience, but there seems to be so many that they meld together into one huge mess of repetition. So I started Bust-N-Rush a little jaded but ended up going through the “just one more level” phase time and again.
At our appointment with TellTale Games, we caught 20 minutes of the upcoming The Walking Dead Episode 2. We were treated to the first part of the game which takes place three months after A New Day. Lee and the other survivors are still at the motel except there’s a new character that has provided the majority of food for the entire group.

Ni No Kuni is an upcoming cell-shaded JRPG by Level-5 Studios for the Playstation 3 system. The art was done by Studio Ghibli, famed Japanese studio responsible for movies like My Neighbor Totoro, Ponyo, and Howl’s Moving Castle. Their signature art style is very visible in Ni No Kuni.
I had a chance to play one of the strangest renditions of Final Fantasy you’ll see, Theatrhythm Final Fantasy on the 3DS. It’s a rhythm game developed by indieszero, and published by Square Enix. It features music across what seems to be the entire series, and you partake in random battles, cutscenes, and events from previous games in the series.
On Tuesday, JDGuma and I had the chance to attend Sony’s PS Vita community meetup at Vita Hill Club in Miami. We sat down and played some games, ate some pizza, and pretended we were bourgeoisie in the very fancy venue. It was great. We had some gripes despite thinking it was a solid handheld so be sure to watch our impressions video. We also took the time to review the event itself. Personally I thought it was an awesome [...]
