Do you own multiple consoles? Are you not considered a fanboy, just a gamer who wants the best bang for their buck? Then you have come to the right place. Our Head2Head features take an unbiased look at cross platform titles and uncover the superior version. Some may think we are being nit-picky about slight texture differences, lighting and load times. But we don’t. Games are expensive and you owe it to yourself to choose the best experience.
This week we finally get a chance to take a look at Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Thanks again to the folks over at Play N Trade, Oviedo, FL for supplying us or test copies. While Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands has been out for some time now, and with other sites having done an analysis of their own already, we thought the verdict was going to be cut throat. Well that would have been the case if we did the analysis when the game was released, lets just say “patience is a virtue”. Come take a ride through the desert on a quest to see which version of Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands wins this weeks Head2Head!
This week we single out which version of Singularity is the superior version for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Singularity is Raven Software’s second title based on Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 3. Obviously, the Unreal Engine 3 is proving it’s worth in gold lately, but one things is for certain, a trend is forming that can’t be denied. One console is continuously out performing the other when developers chose to use this engine across platforms. But hold the phone, before you think you already know the outcome of this Head2Head, think again, it’s was no walk in the park. On the contrary my friends, this was one of the most difficult Head2Head decisions we had to make in a while. So come on in to find out which version is this weeks Head2Head winner.
In this Head2Head, the Lens of Truth takes a look at Transformers: War for Cybertron for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Brought to you by the folks over at Play N Trade Oviedo, Fl. Transformers: War for Cybertron is a third person shooter that takes place prior to the Transformers: Prime animated series, when the Transformers still lived on the planet Cybertron. This version of Transformers, developed by High Moon Studios, utilizes the power of the Unreal 3 Engine creating some very impressive visuals to say the least. Come on in to find out which version wins this weeks Head2Head.
In this Head2Head, the Lens of Truth takes a look at Split/Second, the racing game with big explosions (think Burnout, but with more destruction). Powered by Play N Trade Oviedo, Fl., this super-fast paced racer explodes across both consoles for a ride worthy of tweeting home about. So buckle up and watch the video. Then read on for an in-depth analysis.
Welcome back for another exciting Head2Head, presented by Play N Trade, Oviedo, FL. Skate 3 is a more realistic approach to the genre, unlike Tony Hawk’s franchise which has an over the top tricks and combos system. Skate 3 is Electronic Arts’ third installment with this successful franchise, and it has been a year since its predecessor, Skate 2, launched. This week we decided it was time to switch gears and freestyle our way through the various cities and parks of Skate 3 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Sit back an enjoy the ride while Lens of Truth grinds out which version of Skate 3 is worth your hard earned dollars, and which version leaves you with road rash.
Lens of Truth took a look at Red Dead Redemption in this Head2Head, presented by Play N Trade, Oviedo, FL. With Rockstar’s long line of open world games, this western based game pushed the genre into the seldom charted era with the style, story, and gameplay you’ve come to expect from the creators of Grand Theft Auto. So saddle-up as the Lens of Truth circles the wagons and analyzes Red Dead Redemption.
In this Head2Head the Lens of Truth takes a look at Dead to Rights: Retribution. Powered by Play N Trade, Oviedo FL. this Head2Head has a lot of bite, with a side of blood, violence, salty language, and your typical rogue cop. Grab your sensor button and watch the video, then read on for an in depth analysis.
The Lens of Truth was given the opportunity to play Super Street Fighter IV early, thanks to Play N Trade, Lake Mary Fl. We reviewed the original Street Fighter IV over a year ago, which finally proved that Street Fighter looks awesome in its 3D form. So the question remains does Super Street Fighter IV have what it takes to keep the genre fresh? Watch the video and read on to see how the newest Street Fighter fares under our lens.
The wait is finally over. The Lens of Truth finally had enough time to finish out the Head2Head comparison for Star Ocean: The Last Hope. Although the Head2Head is sans the frame analyzer, the comparisons can still be seen with the naked eye. So sit back and watch the video for Star Ocean: The Last Hope and then read on for further analysis.
