Overview It’s not often that a first-party PS Vita title makes an appearance since the system’s launch in early 2012. The handheld has been almost begging for a killer title (at least in the West) and, unless you’re an avid Japan importer, your game library is looking lonely. So here we have Soul Sacrifice, a creation spawned from the mind of Keiji Inafune who co-designed Mega Man. Mixing the successful monster hunting formula with a dark narrative and macabre art design, is this a much-needed system-seller?
Story
From the opening seconds of the game, the universe of Soul Sacrifice is a bleak one. A heartless sorcerer enslaves and sacrifices the souls of innocents, and the protagonist happens to be just one of many trapped in a cage with no future. Within reach of the player happens to lie a talking, demonic book which belonged to a powerful sorcerer and serves as the game’s hub in progressing through the story and levels.
The player essentially rewrites the book in his or her own name, placing themselves in the diary of events that happened previously. You play through the eyes of a sorcerer as he undergoes the Sorcerer’s Ordeal, which are really just a set of standard set of levels with bosses, along with a female companion named Sortiara.
As the protagonist plays through these past memories and grudgingly becomes close to Sortiana despite the two’s lethal enmity to everything around them, the player’s real character in the cage learns the skills and ability necessary to eventually challenge the one who imprisoned you. What’s really cool is that you can choose to fight the sorcerer whenever you want, just don’t expect to win until you thoroughly develop your character. I would have liked to see story development while inside levels, as they are simply arenas for you and your companion. Only when you clear the level does the narrative progress within the journal.
Unfortunately, while very compelling the story doesn’t go the extra mile to really draw you in. The voice-acted text (the voice-acting itself is great though) and few cutscenes make it difficult to craft a truly great narrative in a 3D action-RPG.
Gameplay Soul Sacrifice will mainly see you going inside the talking journal, Librom, to undertake and progress through the various chapters while collecting powers known as Offerings and customising your character with these. The field of battle feels like a typical RPG as you sprint around killing any enemies that show up and either sacrificing them for a boost in magic power or saving them for vitality.
While the game likes to hammer in the fact that there are consequences for sacrificing everything, but the fact is it isn’t strict enough. You can always recover by using Librom’s tears that you can collect occasionally and powers can be recharged in-battle.
Combat is straightforward but very satisfying. You activate an equipped offering and unleash chain attacks or a long, charged up strike. Offerings are outrageously awesome and vary from a massive stone fist to shooting your own blood at the cost of your health.
The greatest attack in your arsenal is the ultimate sacrifice. When your health is low enough you can engulf yourself in fire, for instance, dealing a lot of hurt to enemies all around. This handicaps you, however, such as lowering your defence until you can reverse the effects with Librom’s tears.
You will always have an AI companion with you and they’re always welcome help. Once you die you can choose whether they save you so you can fight again or to sacrifice you. In multiplayer the AI is replaced with a real player and fights can get a whole lot easier, as the AI can even get in the way instead of providing real support sometimes.
The bosses are fairly tough and after killing waves of standard enemies the difficulty spike will surprise a few. Pleasingly, the bosses are fittingly insane and can be fearsome to face.
Soul Sacrifice plays almost as you’d expect, making good use of the Vita’s control scheme with very few frustrating moments. The combat is solid for an action JRPG and unleashing attacks is a satisfying experience. It’s just a shame then there’s not enough variety in the maps and enemies. Battlefields are often reused and the game plays it safe enough that the level of excitement never goes beyond into
Visuals Soul Sacrifice seems like a fairly high budget endeavour as it is supported by Sony Computer Entertainment itself. It definitely shows in the visual direction of the game, with some superb animations and creative art design. The magic charging effects and Offerings can sometimes feel spectacular and you’ll probably smile to yourself a few times as you feel like a kid powering up attacks. The game’s art is of dark fantasy style, allowing for some amazing enemy designs that range from the bizarre to the disgusting.
Having said that, the game still doesn’t feel like a full-blown PS Vita title as it looks a little blurry and rough around the edges. With the amount that’s going on on-screen during a boss battle though, you can imagine the framerate drops would be a whole lot worse with better graphics. The dark and miserable tone of the game doesn’t allow for much colour, so that could explain the dreariness of the visuals in general.
Audio
The music in Soul Sacrifice is definitely a strong point. Sad and forlorn melodies mixed with some epic orchestral battle music make this a memorable sound track. Voice-acting is stellar, with the fantasy theme complemented by some English accents and brooding monologues. Librom’s voice in particular is great, sounding just as a talking demon book should.
Overall Soul Sacrifice was an interesting experience. As someone who never really enjoyed the Monster Hunter style of games, I got a good kick out of this title. The story wasn’t as deep as I would have liked, however, and while battles were very cool and satisfying the environments weren’t varied enough to keep up the excitement.
This is still a good JRPG, one that is desperately needed for the PS Vita in the Western market. It may not be a system-seller or a killer title but if you own a PS Vita, Soul Sacrifice should be seriously considered. The dark fantasy theme reminds us of RPGs from the grim 90s and the amount of creativity behind it warrants a look.

Today Atlus USA released a new trailer highlighting two of the other playable characters that will be available in Dragon’s Crown. We’ve already seen the Sorceress and the Fighter in action and these latest videos highlight the Elf’s and the Dwarf’s combat abilities.
The videos can be seen below with the Elf first and the Dwarf second. Currently Dragon’s Crown is set to be released in North America on August 6th for both the PlayStation Vita and the PlayStation 3. There will be a limited edition of the game that gamers will have access to simply by pre-ordering the game and the most noticeable inclusion of this limited edition is the 64 page art book which will likely be stunning considering the art style Vanillaware used on this game.
Cognition Episode 3: The Oracle Publisher: Phoenix Online Studios Developer:Phoenix Online Studios Platforms: PC (reviewed), Mac, iPad Release Date: May 16, 2013 (PC/Mac); Coming Soon (iPad) Price: Episode 3: $9.99; Season Pass: $29.99 – Here
Overview
Can you believe it? Cognition has reached its third episode in the epic thriller of FBI Agent Erica Reed. Ever since the launch of Cognition Episode 2: The Wise Monkey on January 30, 2013, Phoenix Online Studios has been hard at work in releasing the following chapters. With less than four months in between release dates, The Oracle has shown its face. Does the quick deliverable affect the quality of the title? Let us find out…
Story
A clouded mystery surrounds Erica as her visions become directly linked to another seer. As she learns more about the latest murder – outside of her friend Cordelia’s abode, Erica finds out that more people are involved heightening each new scene. When FBI agents carry some of the blame, she cannot help but to feel overwhelmed and even betrayed.
The title would have you believe that Rose – the antique store owner – is the Oracle as she has helped Erica through developing her abilities. You came to discover that the Oracle is actually someone you would not initially suspect. So much has been hidden from Erica because information was on a need-to-know basis and covered up by higher powers. Information that if were exposed early on could have prevented even Erica’s brother’s death.
Nearing the end of the story you will be able to identify who the real Cain Killer is. However, you will also begin to ask more questions with these new found answers and wonder how all of the other contributors played a role in this on-going puzzle. Inevitably, episode three leads up to a cliffhanging moment where Erica is left alone in the Cain Killer’s lair. Phoenix Online Studios does well to jack up the anticipation for the final chapter.
Gameplay
An interesting concept that is introduced to the series is the ability to play as two characters. The second playable character is the Oracle who has complementing powers to Erica. As Erica can see what has happened in the past, the Oracle can foresee the future. Though what seems to be confusing is when Erica and the Oracle connect on the same wavelength to uncover secrets in both past and present.
Cognition has continuously provided high intensity puzzle scenes, and this episode is no exception. In a flashback, you are put in Cordelia’s body trapped in a mechanism with a gun strapped to her hand. Opposite from her is her brother Max tied up to a contraption that appears to have deadly triggers. As time is not your friend, the mechanisms that control both machines begin to streamline the killing process. Uncovering clues to the machine’s release becomes just as fatal.
Neither truly positive nor negative, the movement of the game primarily sticks to one scene – the Enthon Towers. Having all of the actions performed in the singular yet extensive 33 floor building streamlines the completion of the title and makes the episode seem shorter than its predecessors. However, I see this episode as the revolutionary point in the series for the purpose of encountering the unshakable truths. Erica can no longer be sheltered in a safety net of lies, and her decisions from here on out will not be dictated according to her job.
Visuals
Glitches become apparent when the audience feels that an object has a strange appearance or when a scene is lacking an obvious inclusion. The strange appearance noticed was during a scene with FBI Director Samuel McAdams inside the Enthon Towers. He had been fumbling with a book – noticeably nervous with Erica running around – and the image shifts awkwardly in his hands. After the close-up scene was exited, no further problems resulted with the object.
Another instance where there was a strange occurrence is when Erica first enters the elevator to go up to Cordelia’s abode. While standing near the elevator, a equally strange man named Skorobeus begins speaking with Erica. However, for the majority of the conversation Skorobeus was invisible leaving Erica staring at a house plant. As the scene resolved the man reappeared as if standing near the elevator the entire segment.
Detailed environments separates Cognition as one of the best looking point-and-click thrillers to date. Most independent titles fall back on a previous decade’s visuals, but Cognition encapsulates a very dark unfolding mystery with quality craftsmanship. Such ability can be attested to creating art assets for a luxurious as well as mysterious hotel in forms of hanging art and environmental objects. A mangled tree presents itself as a creepy asset and fits right in with other subtle hints of a nearby killer.
Continuation of previous symbols such as “psi” poses that there could be deeper meaning or correlation in subjects that you meet. In the first 10 minutes of the The Oracle, you encounter the psi symbol on a keychain which opens the Enthon Towers front door. There should be an alarm running through your head as the psi symbol directly relates to the previous episodes and a killer as its owner. As a quick reference, the psi symbol can be related to parapsychology which deals with paranormal subjects or the research in extrasensory perceptions – sound familiar?
Audio
Hearing stagnant pauses in-between dialogues can be a deterrence to the flow of any title. At the beginning I could notice a subtle pause in a heated Eric vs. McAdams conversation, and the timing could receive a minor tweak to make the game flow more fluidly. As the game progressed other audio driven conversations were done well and required little to no alterations.
Voice acting contributed by the character Skorobeus helped envision the secrecy and creepy vibe for the Enthon Towers. Not only is his visual demeanor scream “CREEPER” but also his voice tells you his is up to something. You will want to find out all you can about this strange character, and at the same time stay as far away as possible.
Overall
Pumping out the adrenaline in climatic cliffhangers is what Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller is constructed to do. In every contraption that must be completed in a timely fashion, I felt that life was dangling in my fingertips – and virtually was! Phoenix Online Studios continues this streak in Episode 3: The Oracle and chose to emphasize the thought process of these killings exclusively. By tapping into the mind of a killer, I felt disturbed and yet intrigued to know the answers to “why?”.
Marred by only a few glitches the title continues to strive for an great overall product. Some may complain about this particular episode’s length, but the preciseness and direction was necessary to lead up to the final chapter where Erica confronts the known “Cain Killer” and well as the “Oracle”.
Overall, this chapter is a great addition to the series and should be enjoyed along with its predecessors: Episode 1: The Hangman & Episode 2: The Wise Monkey. A quality storyline and character investment drives Cognition to excel in the point-and-click arena.

There was a time not too long ago where the Ace Attorney Trilogy was slapped with a delay that set it all the way back to July, this is no longer the case because the Capcom team have a little surprise for you: The Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Trilogy is coming to all iOS devices in ONE WEEK! That’s not a normal week either, we’re talking a working week, that’s five days. If you’ve been waiting for this chestnut to be released May 30th is your day of rejoice.
Just for the added “piece of mind” here’s a side-by-side comparison of the original and HD graphics (I’m sure I don’t need to outline which is which):
Yeah, ok, because his beard didn’t look glorious enough as it was.
The HD Trilogy will include the original Ace Attorney, Justice For All and Trials and Tribulations. Once you’ve downloaded the free base app you can then choose to buy each title separately or all together. The prices are as follows: The Original game will be $5.99 and both sequels will cost $6.99 which is actually an awesome price for these games. If you’re a true fan and want the whole Trilogy that’ll set you back $16.99 which is still a damn good price! The app will also include a quirky little extra called “Everybody Object” which allows you to email or tweet Wright’s catchphrases, with animation, to friends.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney HD Trilogy comes out on the 30th of May so keep your eyes open so you can get your hands on this ASAP.
In some surprising news, it has come to light that Fire Emblem: Awakening was originally planned to be the final installment of the long-running strategy RPG series.
During an interview with Hobby Consolas, Intelligent Systems’ Hitoshi Yamagami, the co-producer of Fire Emblem: Awakening confirmed that the game was made originally an end to the series:
“Truth be told, sales are dropping. The sales manager of Nintendo, Mr. Hatano, told us that this could be the last Fire Emblem. Due to this progressive descend on sales, they told us that if the sales of this episode stayed below 250,000 copies, we’d stop working on the saga. I remember when I came back from the meeting and told the team “My God, what are we gonna do?! The end has come!”. Our reaction was clear: if this was going to be the last Fire Emblem, we had to put everything we always wanted to include. That’s how this new project was born!”
Kouhei Maeda, the director of Fire Emblem: Awakening also confirmed this in an interview with Nintendo Dream:
“I have to admit there was a time during development when we thought “This might be the end of the Fire Emblem series if Awakening doesn’t sell well”.
This is very shocking to say the least, but Fire Emblem fans can rest easy as Fire Emblem: Awakening’s impressive 500,000+ copies sold both digitally and physically far exceeds the 250,000 needed to continue the series. Fire Emblem: Awakening is actually the best selling Fire Emblem game since Fire Emblem: Sword of Flame for the Game Boy Advance (simply known as Fire Emblem in the West) which released a decade ago.
This fantastic installment of Fire Emblem truly shows the effort put in by Intelligent Systems. We scored the game a 9.5 out of 10 in our review as a matter of fact. Sometimes desperation brings out the best in people. Intelligent Systems gave it their all like there was no tomorrow. But now with the success of Awakening, Fire Emblem will live to fight another day and thank the lords for that.
It was recently reported that Hideo Baba the producer of Namco’s Tale Of franchise had stated that there was plans for a HD collection of Tales of Symphonia coming for the PlayStation 3 under the title Tales of Symphonia: Perfect Edition.
Baba has now commented that he had been misquoted with his response taken out of context and sensationalized. Speaking with JPGames.de he commented on the situation,” To be quite frank… I was at Expomanga in Spain last week and everyone was enjoying the event, and then I heard from fans ‘I heard rumors about a Tales of Symphonia Perfect Edition. Is that true?’ Actually, I was the one surprised by that! (laughs) That fan then said that it’s the 10th anniversary of Tales of Symphonia in Japan this year, and I just said that there might be something coming, as a celebration.”
He continued on to clarify what those celebration plans would likely be, “It will be more like a ‘Tales of Café’ or an event at NamcoCon… but we actually have no plans yet, there are only ideas. We can’t really say anything before announcements are made and it’s always a bit surprising when people ask us about rumors like that. It would be best to just wait for new information [about Tales of Symphonia’s 10th anniversary]. Before we announce something, a rumor is just a rumor after all (laughs).”
There you have it, a rumor is just a rumor until confirmed. Unfortunately for fans of Tales of Symphonia, the fabled HD collection is not to be, for now that is. Stay tuned for more information on the 10th anniversary celebrations of Tales of Symphonia as details come to light.
