Controller Punch!

Two games that will go down in my memory as being the reason I own a PS2 – would be Ico and Shadow of Colossus. Needless to say that the PS3 title from Team Ico has me stoked…check out the latest screens at the newly updated The Last Guardian website.

I have high hopes for where the PS3 and this title will take me.

This is like the antithesis to P.N.O3…I love the style. And don’t call it Halo. If rumors prove true this one is heading to the PS3 for sure.

Alrighty, so by this point Mario’s prestige and legacy are set in stone. He’s got fame, popularity, multiple spin-off products, and even a show with Lou Albano! (R.I.P; Cap!) So, how do you follow up on debatably the greatest video game to date? Pink, transexual, aborted egg-shooting lizards wearing Ms. Pac-Man’s bow. Yeah.

Now, I wasn’t alive during the release of this game. Therefore I can only imagine the sheer horror on the faces of all the Mario fans when they saw this box art. It’s nowhere near Mega Man box art bad, but why the hell is Mario carrying what appears to be a raddish? What is this, Cooking Mama? Is Mario a closet gardener?

One of the first things that you’ll notice upon starting up this turd is that it has next to nothing to do with it’s predecessor. Why is that, you may ask? Well, here’s the story: Read the rest of this entry »

I know it’s fucky, but it’s just a little mix I made after a long hiatus. Keep an eye on the channel!

This is the start of a series of reviews looking back on the Mario series. (The main series platforming centered games, at least.) And what other way to start than with…

Again, we should probably start off with a little history first:

You remember the NES, don’t you? Ah yes, the embodiment of nostalgia, that rectangular brick of pwnage aiding you in your quest to save the princess, kill Dracula, what have you. Of course, if it weren’t for this little Italian plumber, Nintendo probably wouldn’t be what it is today. In fact, had it not been for Mario, the NES would’ve been tossed aside by retail markets for…*shudders* Teddy Ruxpin. (violin screeches) Read the rest of this entry »

Ok, we have to give Destructoid credit on this one. They have a bigger community than us, what the fuck do you want? I’m still here reporting it to you. Stop complaining and just start drooling over the beautiful images that were leaked by allgamesbeta.info, and the Beta Video that some hapless fanboy posted.

I get excited for all kinds of reasons. Recently my girlfriend telling me that she didn’t give no fuck about backne was at the top of that list. And recently-er, Ska Studios announced the release of another game on the Xbox Live Indie Marketplace. This makes me sweat nervously like the first time I touched a woman.

Reportedly, it’ll be a 4 player arcade beat’em up kinda like Castle Crashers TMNT. Maybe.

Charlie Murder will be hitting the virtual shelves in March. Probably.

That’s right, motha! I got myself a Wii!!!

Now, this review is going to be a lead-in to a mini-series of reviews. What franchise will I be toppling? We’ll wait and see…

Before I review this system, let’s take a look at it’s history:

Have you smelt Donkey Kong's loincloth lately?

I just stumbled on something awesome.  The web site Shiobis-Place has created a version of Space Invaders based off the TV show Futurama. For those not familiar, in the episode ‘Anthology of Interest 2′ Fry wonders what life would be like if it was more like a video game – creating a wonderful scene where Lrrr arrives to invade earth.  This game basically replicates the whole scene, with a few added goodies thrown in.  What’s more, it’s FREE.  I suggest donating, since, well, awesome like this doesn’t come along every day.  Get out the Shasta!

I never did play the first Mass Effect, but CHRISTING FUCK this looks awesome. Sorry for taking so long to put this up. The only time I get to work on this website is at my day job. Go figure.
