GotGame TV: SWAG Show Reviews Raiden III on PS2
In keeping with the strange tradition of denying audiences easy access to the third installment of series (hey, Final Fantasy and Street Fighter…), the shoot-’em-up arcade favorite, Raiden, has kept its second brother from home view–until now. Why was Raiden III hidden away for twelve long years? Was it too gloriously beautiful, known to blind gamers with its radiance? Or hideously deformed, hunched over a bucket of fish heads and stinking up the attic? Nick looks at Raiden’s deep, dark past, and the reworked PS2 Raiden III, after the jump.
With nearly every Final Fantasy game being re-released or remade on handheld systems, (FF and FFII on PSP, FFIV, V, and VI on GBA, etc.), how can you know which portable RPG powerhouse is worth toting about town with you? A good rule of thumb: if the Irate Gamer doesn’t spew pillars of saliva-covered hate all over it, it’s probably worth a run through. He made it through the entirety of Final Fantasy III, and has lived to tell (and rave) about it. And rant a bit, just to save face (more random encounters than the internet has Rick Rolls? C’mon!)
Steve Masters gets a hands-on (and rather successful) look at EA’s Tiger Woods ‘09 at E3. The new game looks gorgeous, plus it’s gotten a top-down makeover with an improved and more informative UI, a coaching addition to help you improve your swing, and the customizable club-tuner. This next edition is coming out August 26 for the PS3, Xbox, Wii, and PSP. 
The adult cartoon featuring the voice of Samuel L. Jackson is finally making it’s way onto video game consoles. Featuring a sandbox approach to slicing up enemies along with a textured look of a comic book, the game looks sure to please.
Steve Masters interviews Pete Hines from Bethesda Softworks about the much anticipated Fallout 3. Check out some of the awesome gameplay footage and info about what to expect; this game definitely looks sharp.
