Doupe Reviews Heavenly Sword 9/10

Website Doupe.cz has done a review of the game Heavenly Sword for the PlayStation 3. Though the site is in a different language, it isn't hard to understand the score, 9/10. Here is their conclusion:

+ Successful combat system
+ Breathtaking locations
+ GreatMusic sounds, dubbing
+ Excellent graphic and animations
+ Epic and movie story

- Sometimes a lot of pounding into buttons
- Framedrops
- Short
- Minor bugs

Seems like a great review to me and I personally cannot wait till this game is released and put onto the shelves.

Haze Multiplayer Beta Announced

In a recent interview that SPoNG had with Derek Littlewood, some information was revealed about a Haze Mulitplayer Beta. Here is the direct quote:

SPOnG: Any plans for a multi-player beta?

DL: We've been discussing multi-player beta, it may just end up being multi-player demo, but we are looking to do a pre-release, a playable version of the multi-player.

RY: Everyone loves to play an unfinished game. [Grins]

Couldn't get more official than that. I guess now we just wait until the Beta is released.
