Milk better than Mushrooms? Comments

I just had to. This thing is hilarious.

Pokemon Platinum? O-M-EFFING-GEE Comments

Sure it looks like a “collectiony-two-in-one-thing” much like crystal and yellow versions… but still! It’s Pokemon! Common sense and manliness? FUCK THAT, I want a new pokemon game! WOO.

Dead Rising Comes to the Wii Comments

Dead rising is coming to Wii this winter cleverly entitled: Dead Rising: Chop till you drop. For those of you who don’t already know, Dead Rising was a fan-fucking-tastic game on the Xbox 360 where you play as a bad-ass journalist named Frank West as you try to survive in a mall for 3 days so you can be helicoptered to safety. The catch is, that mall is filled with the zombified residence of an the entire small town of Willamette, Colorado. Dead Rising was one of my favourite 360 games and I hope that it can be faithfully recreated on the Wii. According to the article in Nintendo Power, Dead Rising: Chop till you drop is an exact port of the 360 version only with a few more weapons and some (hopefully appropriate) motion controls. They’ve decided to axe the photography element of the game apparently but I don’t believe that it’s much of a loss and will be completely looked over if the motion controls are done well and satisfyingly.

The only issue I can see with the port is that when Dead Rising was announced, Capcom decided it would show off how many zombies they could fit on screen with their fancy next-gen teknologie. They bragged upwards of 1000 zombies at a time, and to be honest some places in the game there probably could have been close to 1000 zombies and the game never hitched up; it was a hell of an achievement. The obvious hardware deficiency in the Wii could hamper the awesome that was having 1000 zombies bounce off the hood of your car in the underground maintenance tunnels, but the developers goal is apparently to have somewhere around 100 zombies on the Wii. Which, if the game is ported properly, should not be a noticeable detriment.

Lamest Gamefly Ad ever. Torn and scanned straight from latest nintendo magazine. Comments

I know it’s dumb and pointless but I just had to, and I’m a mean spirited person who had nothing better to do.

Yoshi beat Comments

Sorry that I’m posting so many videos but someone I’m subscribed to on youtube made this and I just had to share.

New Spiderman game gives incredible trailer, looks like maybe it won’t totally blow. Comments

Spider-man games to date have been mediocre at best, netting pretty low review scores. I personally fell in love with spider-mans 2 and 3 but I will at least admit that the first game was about as fun to play as being force-fed boiling hot porridge. So spider man games tried to break this trend with a crap-tastic kids game, spider-man: friend or foe. As you can tell by the description “crap-tastic”, it was fucking terrible. So here we are presented by a spider-man game that isn’t a movie game or a shitty kids game, it’s originally titled and the story is totally new. Promising? I think so. I was not paying much attention to the new game until this trailer from the san-diego comic-con. And now I will carefully track it’s every move… this game looks so terribly glorious I just cannot put it into words.
Keep an eye out for a symbiote-infected Wolverine right at the end, It’s fucking awesome.
I recommend following the link and watching it in HD over at gametrailers.com, it’s a very very pretty trailer.
