Lots of options to control the action on this soon to be released PSN game. One Move controller, two Move controllers or even the good old Dualshock3 can be used to be as close to the table as possible! Watch the video below to see what I mean:

Excerpt from:
Releases for the Week (May 14th-20th)

When I first watched the preview behind the concept of Datura, I was very excited. I am a sucker for innovative and artistic games. I crave games that challenge my moralities and keep me guessing until the very end. Datura is like nothing I’ve ever played. It is a psychological thriller inside the twisted mind of a man, that feels more of an interactive experience than an actual game. The bizarre story and rich environment will keep you hooked the entire time. Unfortunately, the time spent in this magical dream is disrupted, on many occasions, by the lack of deep and fluid controls. The Story The plot starts building up from the moment you wake up inside the back of an ambulance. You wonder how you ended up here. The story will take you on a journey inside the mind of the main character. There are different segments you can interact with, and each segment will lead into a new chapter. Completing all segments in an area will grant you access into a new one and so on. At first it worked perfectly for me. There are a few clever puzzles and some challenging, bizarre sequences. I put down the controller at some point and wondered what the heck am doing! It was a fulfilling experience in terms of the presentation, the sound, the beautiful environment and the disturbingly shocking sequences. The only problem is .. It only lasted for 90 minutes! The Gameplay I’d like to point that I’ve played Datura with a DualShock controller. The game offers full support for PlayStation Move and a 3D screen. The controls can easily be described as frustrating. There are many sequences in the game where I had to twist the controller in a 360 degree and shake my entire body till I felt sick. Even the simplest gestures of reaching into objects or walking in the forest were hardly simple. I’ve considered turning off my PS3 and cursed my PlayStation Plus discount, but my anxiousness to finish the game and see how the story ends kept me going the entire 90 minutes, only to be disappointed by the unsatisfying ending. I don’t know if playing with the PS Move would make a huge difference (it might since turning my wrist versus turning the whole Dualshock 3 could improve things overall), but I have to do a review of what I played and how I played, not on how things could have been. I wished the developer had taken more time before releasing the game. It had lots of potential to be among the finest unique gems on the PlayStation Network. It also makes you wonder if this is what the future holds for digitally distributed games: a short campaign and a unique interactive experience with driven motives for exploration. Final Thoughts Datura is not your casual PSN release. It is entirely different from anything you’ve played. The description of Datura on Wiki, a poisonous plant that causes hallucinations and heart attacks, suits this game perfectly. Regardless of the short time I spent in Datura’s world, the ridiculously frustrating controls were always dragging this incredibly unique experience from becoming memorable. Review Pros Cons Unique Experience Beautiful Environments Frustrating Controls Incredibly Short Disappointing Ending Rating 55% Datura is available on the PlayStation Network for $9.99. PlayStation Plus subscribers get a discount at $7.99 Disclaimer This review is based on a PS3 copy of Datura developed by Plastic Studios and Published by SCE.

[PSN Review] Datura

Ragnarok Odyssey developed by GungHo Works, was one of the best selling Playstation Vita games in Japan and probably the on that was imported the most as well. XSeed has confirmed that they will be localizing the game to North America sometime this summer. Ragnarok Odyssey is a spin-off of Ragnarok Online. Concentration on aerial combat, pinpointing specific locations for higher damage and speed are some of the main points of the gameplay. Up to four players can join locally or online to cooperatively take on the chaper based challenges or fight each other in a versus mode. Recently Amazon and Gamestop has put the date of 8/21/12 on their websites and pre-orders have started. While not solid evidence, it seems very likely.

[Giveaway] Jak and Daxter HD Collection

Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer Games, and Raven Software discuss the ALL-NEW Face Off gameplay style and Collection 2 DLC in this behind-the-scenes multiplayer video for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. This mode actually looks really cool, and I can’t wait to try it out. As usual, no release date has been announced yet for PS3, as this will be a limited time Xbox exclusive. Totally new to the franchise, FACE OFF distills all the fun and intensity of multiplayer into a new breed of 1 vs. 1 and 2 vs. 2 close combat. Featuring smaller, super-concentrated multiplayer maps specially designed for FACE OFF to encourage strategy, skill, and teamwork like never before.

The Avengers Game Won’t be Coming to the PS3

Marvel’s The Avengers just broke all kinds of box office records. Surpassing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows part 2. Raking in over $200.7 MIL in its opening weekend! With all the excitement and success, one is left to wonder, where is the video game tie in? It is common practice for films based on comic books or science fiction to have some type of video game tie in. Previous Marvel films like Thor, Iron Man, and Captain America have seen video game adaptations closely following the plot line of its Movie counterpart. They are all however, mediocre and poorly designed. Website fusible stumbled upon evidence that may lead to an existence of a possible game. A check on domaintools.com reveals that the url was established a day before the release of the film, and it is registered to Marvel’s Characters inc. With SEGA behind the last Marvel video game adaptations, it appears this one will be spearheaded by Ubisoft possibly. There is no official word if this game is cancelled, delayed, or if there is even a video game, however E3 2012 is around the corner and we’ll find out soon enough.
