What would a game like Super Smash Bros. Brawl be like if it was released on one of Sony’s systems, having characters from Sony of the Playstation one, Playstation two, and the Playstation three, brawling to the death. Well IGN asked the question, and created an answer. Below is a list of characters that the IGN PlayStation Team created with their respective Sony Skill (which, I guess, is the Sony equivalent with the smash attack).
- Kratos of God of War (Slice and Dice)
- Sweet Tooth of Twisted Metal (Fender Bender)
- Ratchet and Clank (RYNO V)
- PaRappa the Rapper (Mic Meltdown)
- Nariko of Heavenly Sword
- Jak and Daxter Blinding Sword Light (Ottsel Smother)
- Wander of Shadow of the Colossus (Weak Spot Stab)
- Sly Cooper (Crooked Cane Neckbreaker)
- Liquid’s Hand of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (Revolver Blast)
- Patapons (Fever Fury)
What iconic Sony characters would you want to see duke it out with each other?

The day that The Simpsons Game came out, I picked up the Wii version. The graphics for the Xbox 360 and PS3 are superb, both those versions use a really cool flattening technique that makes the game look truly like a cartoon. The Wii and PS2 version however, do not actually use this technique, but emulate it as best the systems can; as a result, the graphics do not impress the same.
The game is pretty sweet. the whole premise of The Simpsons Game is the Simpsons characters discover that they are in a game. The game comes packed with an uncountable number of parodies, particularly the games in the Nintendo universe.
The Wii version and I’m assuming the PS2 version is an only different in terms of graphics; At times the level layout is slightly different. The NeverQuest stage is noticeably altered for the Wii version. The method you use to get passed the dragon statue is different from the Wii Version to the PS3 and Xbox 360 Version, but more importantly there is no balloon fight parody in the Wii version. Which surprises me, because the Wii is Nintendo’s system, despite the fact that Nintendo created balloon Fight. The second to last level, which is, spoilers ignored, Matt Greening’s house; this level is completely different from the Wii version to the Xbox 360 and PS3 version. I don’t know why they did it they must have their reasons, but I wonder what those reasons were, I’m thinking maybe they were going for Scarface in the Wii version of the mansion, but I really don’t know. I didn’t see the robotic Bart Simpson upgrade and that we version, which is required to pass though the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions.
The Nintendo DS version, it drops the 3-D elements of the game in favor of a 2-D platformer. All the elements of their original game, outside of elements that require 3-D environments, are preserved. The unique upgrades such as Ball Homer and Gummi Homer are still in the game. The game features a surprisingly large amount of cut scenes and audio recordings. The cut scenes appear exactly as they do in the games console equivalents. the game also features leapfrog and Pet Homer, two features that are not
According to Playstation Blog, God of War: Chains of Olympus is now fully developed and will be releasing here in the United States on March 4th. This game will be priced as a $40 PSP game.
