Armored Core's Nexus Hits PS2
If hot robot-on-robot action is what you're after, From Software, as always, has got you well and truly covered.
When it comes to giant robots there are few companies as prolific as From Software. And to see out the PlayStation 2, the company is back with another mech game to assault your senses and satisfy your lust for seeing fine architecture lying in ruins.
Armored Core: Nexus is a monstrous package of robot goodness. The two discs cover 150 missions that include both new stuff and older missions redone with modern sensibilities. The missions are more dynamic now, too, reacting to your actions and shifting your path through the game.
This latest instalment also brings several firsts, including full dual-analog stick control and LAN support for the wildly popular multiplayer portions of the game. You can also expect the usual array of secrets to uncover.
Armored Core: Nexus will be out only for PlayStation 2 on 14 April. For more info, visit the official Armored Core site.
