In my excitement to show off my Indiana Jones-like searching skills, I completely dropped the ball and didn't dig further than Alien Crush and Dungeon Explorer. Luckily a careful reader over at joystiq picked up where I left off and found the granddaddy of all TurboGrafx 16 titles hidden away amongst the not-quite-ready-for-public viewing pages.
Military Madness is the spiritual predecessor to Advance Wars, and I for one couldn't be more excited. This is the TG16 game I've been waiting for. If Hudson was a fat chick in a bar, I'd want her to have my children.
What is it with people getting the orange Zappers tattoed on them? The original gray ones are vastly superior and the original colors. That aside I dig the "Stick to your Guns" mantra. It's a infinitly better tattoo than the Zapper in the waistband one.
I woke up this morning to find a lot of rumours floating around the blogosphere about the possibility of Alien Crush coming to the Wii's Virtual Console next Monday. Being a bit of a closet simulated pinball junkie, I just had to know more.
I went snooping around the Hudson site, and fiddled with the URL's. Not only did I find confirmation that Alien Crush was coming to the VC, but also Dungeon Explorer!
Hudson already has the pages set up for both titles. Check'em out here;
I'd just like to note that these pages hold NO confirmation on release dates. That being said, it seems like the hints dropped by Hudson about this Monday's release combined with the discovery of this page make Alien Crush a foregone conclusion.
First 4 Figures has been doing a large amount of video game themed statues lately. And while they all look (very) cool, I've never really been dying for one of them. Until now. Don't get me wrong the statues looked great but they were almost always more tertiary characters and I just couldn't justify it for the Skull kid from Zelda. But now we have the classic Link in the classic pose. If it weren't so close to christmas I'd be all over this thing. It's a little expensive at $109.99, but it's Link! The quality seems to match the price. Here's a few more pics.
I've never even touched World of Warcraft, but I've played enough D&D to laugh my ass off everytime I watch that old Leroy Jenkins video. The only thing that has to do with the video below is the Leroy part. Enjoy
Actually Frankie sez Relax, but that's another tale for another time. But Miyamoto had this to say about this trend of people killing their TV's with Wii-motes. "We are encouraging people to understand that you really don't have to be so excited, but rather you need to understand the control and then you're going to be the best player. We are looking into the situation to see if there are additional methods to encourage people to kind of calm down so they would never throw away the controller itself."
In other words, relax man. No one's impressed by your Andy Roddick imitation whilst playing Wii tennis.
Whether you think you know your world geography or you just want to feel stupid, this is a great little two minute time waster to get your brain racing. How many countries can you find? 5? 10? none?
In a world of flash games with big guns and flying sheep, it's nice to see one that gives our minds a bit of a workout a la Brain Age. My score was only 38, so follow the link and show the world how much smarter you are than me by bragging about it here!
Usually when a new system launches, there’s nothing to play for months. If you’re lucky, there will be one game that is worth getting, and if you’re the proud owner of a Playstation 3, that game is Resistance: Fall Of Man.
Resistance isn’t an amazing game in the conventional sense. Other than the weapons, the graphics aren’t great, and the cut scenes are down right embarrassing. It’s still, just a first person shooter. It has no ending boss fight. What it does have is fun, and lots of it. To cure the mundane gaming experience that is the beaten dead horse genre of first person shooters, the guys over at Insomniac created an arsenal of weapons to be proud of. You have everything from your run of the mill machine gun with rocket launcher to a gun that if you tag an enemy, you can shoot from the safety of cover, and the rounds will find their way to the selected target. There’s a gun that can shoot through walls and pop out a temporary shield for you to stand behind, so you have cover while standing out in the open. Why, there’s even a rocket launcher that you can stop the movement of the rocket and then redirect its path to hit an intended target. Shake as many sticks as you want, there’s just too much fun.
Anyone familiar with Philadelphia knows center city relaxation point and sweet skate spot Love Park. The Love statue is pretty damn famous as far a city art goes. That's it to the right in case you hadn't figured it out.
Well, I'm playing through Gears of War for the second time and I noticed something I didn't catch the 1st time though. So I grabbed the camera and took this picture below. Pretty cool to see a nod to the city of brotherly love.
