Man Pac
Xbox360
Launched last month on Xbox LIVE Arcade, The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom appears at face value to be the kind of game that could easily be considered at odds with the typical audience for Microsoft’s digital distribution service. While the likes of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled and Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter are making waves on the channel, it’s the much less publicly displayed Xbox LIVE Indie Games service where you expect to find experimentation within both gameplay and art style. But as The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom has been granted the support of a global publisher, the escapades of a portly pie thief are certain to garner much more attention from a wider demographic than would normally be the case.

With the imminent release of 4J Studios’ high-definition makeover of Perfect Dark on Xbox LIVE Arcade, the team here at Electronic Theatre decided that this week’s Friday Feature Retro Review would be the perfect space to look back at the original Nintendo 64 release. Originally released in 2000, the ten years since Perfect Dark arrived on retail shelves has seen dramatic change in the First-Person Shooter (FPS) genre, and yet RARE’s two Nintendo 64 classics – Perfect Dark and it’s spiritual predecessor, Goldeneye 007 – are still regularly referred to as examples of near flawless design. Looking back at Joanna Dark’s first outing, there’s little reason to doubt that argument.

The God of War franchise is one of the most celebrated first-party exclusive series on the PlayStation format. 2005’s PlayStation 2 original broke new ground not only in drawing a staggering visual quality from it’s host format, but also in what was believed to be possible in Action games. A quality of design previously unseen in the genre – and rarely replicated since – spawned an incredibly successful sequel and both PlayStation Portable (PSP) and mobile phone releases in the franchise, all of which were warmly welcomed by their audience. And so, five years after that landmark debut, we return to Kratos’ quest for revenge, on a new format and with much more expectation.
