Weekly wrap-up 8/31/2012

It's the end of the week, and while that means PAX Prime has arrived, it also means we're ready to take a look back at the latest reviews, previews, and video content to land on GameZone over the past few days. Miss anything this week? You'll find links to the latest video game content right here.

Reviews

Madden 13 Vita review (Xbox 360, PS3)

The latest entry in the long-running series of football games is functional and enjoyable, but it's hardly remarkable.

Deep Black review (PS3)

If you're a PlayStation 3 owner, just stay away from this game. A huge file, an expensive price tag, and shoddy gameplay make this a title to avoid.

Rock Band Blitz review (Xbox 360, PS3)

Rock Band is reinvented in this fresh take on the rhythm gaming franchise.

The World Ends With You: Solo Remix review (iOS)

It may be a bit on the pricey side, but this remake of the DS original comes fully loaded with some awesome gameplay and memorable moments.

Max Payne 3 Disorganized Crime DLC review (Xbox 360, PS3, PC)

Rockstar Games has released some free DLC for its latest action shooter, and it's certainly a worthwhile add-on with some great features for both single-player and multiplayer modes.

Previews

NBA Baller Beats hands-on

We may be looking at this winter season's sleeper hit. If you're looking for some unorthodox Kinect fun, keep an eye on Baller Beats.

New Super Mario Bros. U preview

It's Mario! In HD! And it looks like the same brand of fun we've come to expect from the series.

We spend some time playing Pikmin 3, ZombiU, and Ninja Gaiden 3 on Nintendo's upcoming platform.

Interview: Talking Zen Pinball 2 with Mel Kirk

GameZone gets the skinny on the latest from Zen Studios straight from the developer itself in this in-depth interview.

GZ Originals
