Mega Man 9 recently came out and I thought I’d give the demo a spin. How could I not? The game was made to look, sound, and play just like a classic NES game! I downloaded the demo on my PS3 to spite my crappy Xbox 360. Speaking of which, I need to complain for a moment that downloading and playing demos on the PS3 is needlessly difficult. Why do I have to download it and then install it again?
The newest character in the Resident Evil franchise was revealed this week along with a returning character. Both characters will be seen in Resident Evil 5: Super Racist Propaganda Zombie Fun Time.
The returning character is Albert Wesker. I don’t know much about him except that he’s evil and once ate a kitten. Seriously folks, he’s really bad news. The new character entering the Resident Evil mythos is Titties McBoobenstien. Titties is a… I don’t know… I can’t read Japanese. I’m sure that she’s a fully developed character though, and not some sort of caricature of a woman that the Japanese are known for in their fiction.
Look for Resident Evil 5 in stores on March 13, 2009, unless you are a shut in.
You know what sucks? People who are way better than me on online games. I mean, what’s their deal? Do they play more than me? Or do they just have better hand eye coordination? Seriously, people who are really good at a game when I’m not sucks.
Capcom wasn’t fooling around when they created their Megaman 9 press kits. To celebrate the release of Megaman 9, which was done in a totally classic NES style, they created an old school NES looking case for the game disc as well as a box complete with bad Mega-Man art to emulate the original game’s terrible art.
Damn it all, why wouldn’t they do a limited release of something like this for the general public? I’m thinking Capcom missed an opportunity to make some nostallgia based bank off of Mega Man fans. Now the only place you’ll find these things are on eBay. Lame Capcom, lame. I think that the only thing that Capcom could do to make it up to us fans is by sending me one of these things. I think we could all agree that it would help make up for this slight to the fans.
Bethesda, makers of the hopefully awesome Fallout 3 heading our way this fall, have launched the full version of a website called, “Prepare for the Future.” This site is basically a Fallout 3 site (natch), but it is packaged as prep guide for the hellish nightmare future you’ll be facing when you purchase the game. Don’t think that this is some crappy promotional site, the presentation is pretty top notch. It’s totally worth checking out if you’re a Fallout fan or want to know a bit more about the world of Fallout and the creatures therein.
I’m getting pretty pumped up for this thing. I’m already missing the style of the old game, but from what I’ve seen Fallout 3 is looking more than capable of being a worthy sequel.
It seems like I’m not the only one who is lamenting the loss of one of the first Rock Band’s modes, the solo tour which allowed you to unlock all of the game’s songs one by one. If you’re frustrated with having to play through World Tour in order to unlock all the songs, then there’s a cheat for you. (Go to end of post for the cheat)
In case you haven’t seen it yet, Activision has released the entire Guitar Hero: World Tour set list so fans can finally drool over all the official goodness. I feel bad that I haven’t heard of some of these songs, I guess it means I’m getting old, but the ones that I do know are pretty damn cool. I mean, who doesn’t love, “Beat It”?
The final list of “Kombatants” is out for Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe and… well there wasn’t a whole lot of suprises that they were keeping close to the vest on this one. Here’s the list in full:
With the arrival of Resistance Fall of Man 2 in November, I thought it would be appropriate for a look back on the first game to get PS3 owners back into the world of Resistance once again.
Boiled to it’s essentials, Resistance Fall of Man is a standard shooter. You get your variety of guns (all with secondary functions), levels that are almost completely straight forward tracks, vehicle levels, and alien race which borrows from almost every popular type of sci-fi alien movie. Hell, they even through in such staples as spider-like creatures. At least there weren’t a ton of exploding barrels, although there were still a few to be found.
MK vs. DC Universe has been getting a lot of positive buzz and it’s only getting better. Behold the latest video showing off the Joker’s fatality… okay you have to wait awhile to get there, but it’s worth it:
I hope you’re prepared, because my impressions of Star Was: The Force Unleashed are so unleashed that they make Toby Keith’s Unleashed album look so leashed in comparison.
Everyone’s favorite DC heroine (after Powergirl, Huntress, and Supergirl) Wonder Woman is now confirmed as being in the next Mortal Kombat installment, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. Wonder Woman may be one of DC’s oldest female superheroes, but she’s looking pretty fine so far:
If you can’t wait for over the top, unbelievable and extreme to the max Star Wars action that’s like, TOTALLY UNLEASHED, then you should be happy to know that Star Wars: Unleashed is having a demo available on Thursday. The demo will hit Xbox Live and PSN, with Wii owners being left demo-less in the cold. The demo will be the level that’s been seen in many a demo video, the TIE Fighter Construction Facility.
If there is one great question that mankind has stumbled with it’s got to be, “Why isn’t there a flipping awesome Batman game?” There may be no true answer to this problem, but the solution may come in a double dose. Not only is the Lego Batman game looking to be pretty good, but there’s a new game called Batman Arkham Asylum that holds all kind of promise for those looking for a more adult Batman game. You can check out a bunch of screenshots over on 1up.
Batman Arkham Asylum is coming out for the PC, 360, and PS3. Rocksteady Studios and Eidos have Batman in the infamous Arkham Asylum trying to stop the Joker’s evil plans. Just look at the screens for proof that this looks like a darker take on Batman than what we’ve really seen previously in video games. All I can ask for this game is it to not suck. That can’t be too hard can it?
Last week when I said that Rock Band was getting an injection of metal, I didn’t know that it was getting a double helping Rock with a captial R this week. Roadrunner Records is providing a six song selection of their artists this week for Rock Band’s DLC releases. The songs are:
* “Runnin’ Wild” by Airbourne
* “Clouds Over California” by DevilDriver
* “Constant Motion” by Dream Theater
* “My Curse” by Killswitch Engage
* “Aesthetics of Hate” by Machine Head
* “Sleepwalker” by Megadeth
This songs will be discounted for $.99 (80 Microsoft points) for a short time. When the “sale” is over in a month they will go up to $1.99 (160 Microsoft points). As a pack, they cost $5.99 (480 Microsoft points) $9.99 (800 Microsoft points).
