E3 2010: Check out SouthPeak’s game lineup

SouthPeak Interactive’s the latest company who’s decided to let everyone know what it’s going to be showing at E3 2010. This year, the preliminary lineup is somewhat sparse. Really! The company’s announcement only includes three games. Well, maybe SouthPeak is saving some more surprises for the event.

If you’re going to be at E3 and interested in stopping by to see Two Worlds II, Battle vs. Chess or nail’d, the three games that will definitely be there, then head to the South Hall of the LA Convention Center. SouthPeak’s at booth 2813. It’s neighbors are Take Two Interactive and Warner Bros. Interactive.

Let’s take a closer look at the three games…

Gamertell Review: Dream Pinball for DS

Title: Dream PinballPrice: $19.99System(s): DS (Wii, PC)Release Date: April 22, 2008Publisher (Developer): SouthPeak Games (TopWare Interactive, Zuxxez Entertainment)ESRB Rating: “Everyone 10+” for mild blood and mild suggestive themesPros: Good sound effects, fairly nice audio, odd material balls and fun themes. It’s afordable portable pinball game that includes wireless features.Cons: 3D actually gets in the way. Dizzying camera, poor use of dual screens and lack of alternate flipper controls.Overall Score: Two thumbs sideways; 70/100; C-; * * out of 5

This game just doesn’t capture the sense of speed and thrill of a really good machine. The speed may have been knocked down a notch so the camera could keep up with the kinda nice 3D graphics but it ultimately worked against itself by slowing most boards’ to a mediocre pace. The $20 price tag does give the game a few bonus points for affordability.
