Yeah, Sony threw a PS3 at a television. It’s a waste but still pretty spectacular.
I’m sure all those people that chucked a wii-mote into their telly all feel really inadequate right about now. Read the rest of this entry »
Come on, Chief, quit playing Halo and go get a retiree job.
10. Master Chef: Besides the obvious benefits of being able to merely scratch out the i in his identification, after years of singeing and scorching aliens, I’m sure MC has a nose for quality when it comes to cooked meat. And who wouldn’t watch the Iron Chef featuring Iron Chef: Eridanus II? Plus Kitchen Coliseum’s a sweet DM map.
9. Exterminator: If you’ve got swarms of things parading through your house like they own the place, Master Chief Exterminators will panic and fire randomly when they first appear but then settle into a sweeping execution of the annoyance. This job will also prompt great one liners. For example, the patron might say, “Boy that was the biggest swarm I’ve ever seen” and Master Chief, having fought The Swarm in the far reaches of the galaxy, can reply, “Yo mama’s got an afro with a chin-strap!” which is a total diss.
I don’t even know what to say…but this game would totally outsell Lego Rockband if it made it to the West. It is known as Cho Chabudai Gaeshi in Japan.
Is it any wonder why they still have arcades and all we got is Gamestops? Read the rest of this entry »

Due to the success (and in spite of the swine flu) PAX is coming to the east coast.
The convention, which covers tabletop (Heh, sorry. No) console and PC gaming will be held in Boston at the end of March. This makes it a fuck load more accessible for us in Toronto to attend, and build a nice strong, drunken Irish fanbase. If you want to help us make it there visit our forums and show your goddamn support.
The website Penny Arcade has up is quite bare at the moment, but I expect they’ll have the three day con full in no time at all, with awesome panels from no name table top game gurus, and important people from the digital side of things.
My instinctive reaction was to it right bumper to try to get sticky grenade in its mouth. That’s the one thing I’ve tried to do since the first Halo. Credit to the designer, you’re going to be one scary mofo at Halloween.
The worst thing about 90s Gaming was cute animal mascots. Now, I love retro gaming, but this one doesn’t stir my interest.

Seth is a digital wanker. The fumes from my hate towards this character is enough to kill all the kittens in the GTA.
So, when Capcom states that Seth will be even harder in the upcoming Super Street Fighter IV, I got ready to mail Capcom a steaming pile of turds. Let’s hope that by make harder – they mean build an AI that doesn’t cheat.
It’s a good thing that Capcom also let the world know that in the next iteration of Street Fighter we won’t have to unlock any of the characters. Still, I can’t wait to play the pseudo-sequel of Street Fighter IV.
