Dead or Alive 5

Dead or Alive 5 is definitely....different.

Zack vs Lei Fang 

Apparently Zack has a new outfit O.o

Christie vs Bay Man 

It seems like Christie is back again 

and Bay Man certainly looks different.

Ayane vs Hitomi 

This fight looks pretty wicked and insane. 

Metal, cars, and (I believe) a bus are

 being thrown everywhere.

Even though Dead or Alive 5 is far from 

 the norm of an average fighting 

video game, I still can't can't wait to get it.

When Shall We See A Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Review?

Hey gamers, this is Chris_sez with an update.  As of today, Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode ii is out for both systems and mobile with the added bonus of Episode Metal.  I thought about this game for a while, since my birthday is around the time of the release dates.  When shall DirectGamers do a review for Sonic 4?  The answer is we don't know.  Sorry guys and gals, but in order to complete this classic era, Sonic 3 and Knuckles (as 1 game) has to be reviewed beforehand.  Also, more likely I won't be doing the Sonic 4, the game as a whole, review because I don't have any of the next gen systems and there is not enough space on my iPod to buy and install those games; I already know about Steam, but my computer does not fit any of the requirements (I know, that sucks).  From what I've seen on YouTube due to the Steam leak of the game, the game looks fantastic.  Graphics definitely look better from Sonic 4 Episode i, and I love the music in the game.  I just read Game Informer's review of the game, and I honestly disagree with them entirely.  To me, Sonic 4, as a whole, pays homage to the classics and attempts to become the final slot in the classic era.  Well that's an update for y'all; more news, previews, and reviews will be on the way.  Not every review will be a Sonic game.  Furthermore, don't forget to check out our Twitter page at https://twitter.com/DirectGamers.

Game on!!!!

Kingdom Hearts 3???

Samantha here,

So apparently, there will be an announcement (according to G4TV) of another Kingdom Hearts game coming out.  Could it finally be Kingdom Hearts 3?  Personally, I think its going to be another filler.  I started out absolutely loving the series, but the fillers are getting ridiculous.  There are starting to be too many characters and plot twists.  Even though only two Kingdom Hearts video games were dedicated to the main story, it sometimes has me wondering if all of the story lines actually connect.  

Who knows.  

I'm still a faithful fan and have a lot of catching up to do before I start getting excited over Kingdom Hearts 3 anyway,

Signing out,

Samantha

Get in Gear for Sonic & All-Star Racing Transformed

Sonic and his friends from all over the SEGA Universe are back in Sonic & All-Star Racing Transformed, a sequel to Sonic & SEGA All-Star Racing.  Sonic & All-Star Racing Transformed brings with it the ability for players to switch their cars between planes and boats; this concept was introduced in Mario Kart 7.  However, the game takes it to a whole new level.  These sections of the race are not there just for the glamour; from what Sumo Digital has said, players can go faster and maneuver better in these sections, but it all depends on if you want to soar into the skies or take a splash into the water.  Furthermore, the music, characters, and areas will have some amazing updates.  Let's hope Ristar gets some love this time and actually appear as a racer.  The plumber we all know and love might have some formidable competition in the racing department.  Sonic & All-Star Racing Transformed will be racing to shelves in late 2012 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 & Vita, Nintendo 3DS, and PC.

Gears of War Review

The game developed by Epic Games and published by Microsoft Game Studios. It was initially released as an exclusive title for the Xbox 360 in November 2006 in North America, Australia, and most of Europe. It focuses on the troops of Delta Squad as they fight a desperate, last-ditch attempt to save the remaining human inhabitants of the fictional planet Sera from a relentless and virtually unstoppable subterranean enemy known as the Locust Horde. The player assumes the role of Marcus Fenix, a former prisoner and war-hardened soldier. The game is based on the use of cover and strategic fire for the player to advance through the scenarios; a second player can play cooperatively through the main campaign to assist. The game also features several online multiplayer game modes for up to eight players.
