There are certain games that push the limits of hardware and design convention in an attempt to create the next new sensation. Then, there are games like Bomberman, which has remained essentially unchanged for more than 20 years. Any complaints that Hudson's trademark franchise has become stagnant are invalidated by the simple fact that the basic Bomberman gameplay is still tons of fun after all these years. The most recent Bomberman game, for the PlayStation Portable, is proof positive that there's no need to mess with a proven formula.
Luxor: The Wrath of Set is an ancient Egyptian take on the action puzzle genre, a genre that counts among it such other games as Zuma Deluxe and Ballistic. What's here is mostly a no-frills port of the year-and-a-half-old PC game Luxor, which will be seeing a sequel for the PC in less than a month. If you're crossing the Sahara with only PSP puzzle games to keep you entertained, you might as well bring along Luxor, assuming the camel can bear the weight of one more UMD. But thanks to a lackluster presentation and gameplay that doesn't stay interesting for long, you probably won't be busting it out until you've worked your way through the PSP's other great puzzle games--or until you're suffering from heatstroke.
Success breeds imitation, and in the world of video games this is no more apparent than in the realm of puzzle games. Casual game company PopCap struck gold with Bejeweled, a simple and addictive grid-based gem-matching game, and it wasn't long before competing casual game company iWin conjured up its own, Mayan-themed Bejeweled knockoff called Jewel Quest. Now MumboJumbo is getting in on the action with 7 Wonders of the Ancient World for the PlayStation Portable, which cribs more directly from Jewel Quest than Bejeweled, effectively making 7 Wonders a knockoff of a knockoff.
The Lord of Arcana players will come face to face with lots of horrible monsters and save the world from these monsters. But this time the players waiting for a really challenging adventure – the authors argue that the complexity of the game will be pretty high, so it is best to pass it in a cooperative mode for up to 4 people. Also promised a decent graphics, exciting plot and a simple intuitive controls. Of course, Lord of Arcana hardly a MMO, but many observers call it except as a response to Square Enix on the insanely popular Monster Hunter series from Capcom.
Walt Disney Studios and director Steven Lisberger brought to the screen images never seen before or ever again with the cult classic movie Tron. Looking like an '80s videogame brought to life (in fact, that's the movie's story), Tron pioneered computer-generated visuals to put gaming whiz Flynn (Jeff Bridges) inside a computer as he races lightcycles and battles with discs on the game grid in an attempt to break into the MCP and get credit for programs stolen from him.
