Editorial Review:
In a nutshell: Amongst all the games that were actually playable on the PS3 at the recent E3 event in Los Angeles this was the most impressive, both in terms of gameplay and graphics. Not only that but it’s a completely original game, not a sequel or a remake.
The lowdown: Already nicknamed by some as Goddess of War, due to its apparent similarities to PS2 game God of War, the storyline of the game is unclear but it features a typically attractive and super skilled martial arts heroine as she knocks seven bells out of a stream of ninja like bad guys. The various moves look stunning, in particular an eye-watering groin attack aimed at the male enemies (the game features motion capture by Gollum and King Kong actor Andy Serkis). The E3 demo level takes place in a small, and completely destructible, arena but other test footage shows an expansive and impressively realistic looking game world to explore and demolish.
Most exciting moment: Towards the end of the demo the game segues into a QTE (quick time event) sequence where you have to tap the buttons according to icons flashed onscreen, which sees you performing even more outrageous stunts and attacks.
Since you ask: Developers Ninja Theory used to be known as Just Add Monsters, under which name they made comedy beat ‘em-up Kung Fu Chaos for the Xbox.
The bottom line: The best looking, and playing, game so far on the PS3. HARRISON DENT

goddess of the game! This game came as part of the bundle with my PS3, it wouldnt of been something id of necesarily gone out and bought but if they make a sequel i definatly will! An original game is hard to find and although it does bear resemblance to something from the PS2 it is still remarkable. The game play and story are floorless. The levels pose a challenge and are both tough and exciting and have that touch that makes you play on. The game doesnt have a mulitplayer but thats not to say its lacking. The mix... more info
Fast and Fun Filled! I got this and Fall of man last Christmas with my PS360GB. I'm a FPS at heart but chose this over Fall of Man because the adverts I had seen sold it. A fan of the Ominusha and Devil May Cry series, this game kind of mixes up some of the best bits of a number of game franchises and introduces some new ones. Fit chick as the lead character, with a second, slightly strange but fit chick (in a ''your best mates sister'' kind of way) take on an evil empire trying to take over your realm. The game looks... more info
Visually stunning yet repetitive There's no doubt this is a beautifully designed game, it won't win awards for longevity but if you like your games purely for fun you won't go far wrong. The level design is great, the cut scenes are interesting and relevant and can be skipped for the second play, the action scenes (pressing buttons to climb rockfaces or swing from ropes etc) are a great balance in the action. The move list is extensive and there is reward for those who choose not to button mash (as fun as this is) and you'll certainly... more info
