Note - Twitter, In-Depth Reviews and a General Tidy Up

Hi guys,

E3 - Sony Press Conference

Sorry for this being so late but here are all the games being released for the PS4 along with some information.

www.pcadvisor.co.uk

Review No. 28 Fire Emblem Awakening - 3DS (12+)

Strong Points:

Lots of content

All of the characters have strong personalities

Lots of different weapons

Lots of battles

The maps are all different and present their own challenges

Great storyline

StreetPass and SpotPass capabilities are good along with lots of DLC

Side stories are good and so are the random Risen battles

No characters are completely useless or ultimately powerful

The support, marriage, child system is great and the pairing system is helpful and adds more strategy to the game

Permadeath makes you be more strategic

Graphics and music are really good

You can turn off permadeath for casual playthroughs

Weak points:

There is no ability to replay old levels

On some levels, you can just send a squad of some of your best people to complete the level

Most of the time you can ignore the weapon triangle and just hack at the opponents

Most of the opponents are the same and can get boring

If you lose a level, replaying it can be boring

Not enough video cut scenes

Update: All DLC has now come out for this game

Review No. 27 Fallblox - 3DS eShop (3+)

Strong Points:
Good physics
Lots of puzzles
Nice art style
Addictive
Bigger Space

Weak Points:
More of the same
Not as fun as Pullblox
Lots of difficulty spikes
Falling physic is difficult to use

App Review No. 4 Jetpack Joyride

Strong points:
Lots of jet packs and clothes
Lots of customisation in general
Gadgets are great and have a huge variety
Lots of missions and medals
Lots of achievements
Lots of replay value, in fact that's all there is
Lots of enemies
Vehicles have a lot of variety
Events add some variety to the gameplay

Weak Points:
Only goes up to 30,000 metres
Missions get very repetitive very quickly
Clothes and golden vehicles are expensive and don't do anything other than effect aesthetics
Only two gadgets can be equipped at any one time
The jet packs serve nothing but change aesthetics

Review No. 26 Hitman Absolution - PS3 (18+)

Strong Points:
Huge maps
So many ways to kill people (i.e. pistols, chainsaws, your fists, etc)
AMAZING GRAPHICS
Very realistic
Great story line

Weak Points:
VERY Confusing.
