Little Deviants Explores Everything Wondrous About the NGP

Packed with more than 30 minigames, Little Deviants is the perfect game to get to show off all of the features, controls and bells and whistles of the NGP. During my time with the game, I had a chance to check out three of the games in the collection. In the first, I tried my…

Pool is King on NGP’s Hustle Kings

Pool title Hustle Kings was the least impressive of the NGP titles on display last month during our title with Sony’s new portable. But that doesn’t make it a bad game. My short time with the pool game, developed by VooFoo Studios, gave me a sense of the controls, which are a solid port of…

George Lucas Strikes Back: The REAL story behind the prequels

Super Stardust Delta Delivers a Shifted Perspective On the Shoot-Em Up

Not all NGP titles are reinventions of games found on the Playstation 3. Sometimes, like in the case of Super Stardust Delta, they’re simply an evolution.

This New Warhammer 40,000 Arcade Shooter Doesn’t Seem Very Warhammer-y

When I think Warhammer 40,000 I’m thinking deep strategic battles and hours spent hovering over a table covered with painstakingly painted metal figures; epic wars fought on a grand scale.

Reality Fighter Puts Your Face, Your World in NGP Brawling

It looks like Face Raiders has a challenger. When Nintendo’s 3DS launched in March we were blown away by its clever use of augmented reality gaming to bolster what was a relatively humdrum launch line-up. In particular, Face Raiders, which turned familiar faces into enemies, was a favorite among the gamers and non-gamers at Gawker…
