Honestly, Sonic Colors is my most hyped game of the year behind SMG2. I am saving up for that one game. I am picking it up over DKC, over Kirby, over Goldeneye, over Epic Mickey. If it ain't the best Sonic game in years I will go crazy.

Holy fucking FUCK!

I just completed 1-1 on Demon's Souls. I feel like laughing and crying at the same time.

PSPhone. Lol. If that touchpad works right it's an interesting take on dual analog. It can't be worse than the nub...

Is that PSP phone for real?

Famitsu Gives More 10s to the Yoge



          Yoge is what the Japanese call foreign games. It's a kanji thing.



          This week, one game got a 10 in Famitsu, and it's a yoge. The magazine's reviewers gave both the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Fallout: New Vegas a 10, 9, 9, and 9.



          Also reviewed this week were Fable III (X360), scoring a 9, 9, 8, and 9, and Radiant Historia (DS), scoring a 9, 8, 8 and 9.

Famitsu scores are paid for according to Capcom's Europe PR Dude and the Japanese gaming reporters on Warning a Huge Podcast.  They indicate only that the publisher paid for the appropriate amount of advertising space from Famitsu.

OMG at the Flashlight trailer

Destructoid Conduit 2 hands on

http://www.destructoid.com/hands-on-with-conduit-2

All of the problems of the first game seems to be fixed with Conduit 2. It may go on to be known as the Evil Dead 2 of videogames, as it feels like both a sequel and a remake of the original at the same time.


          As soon as you boot up the game, you're treated to a big budget CGI recreation of the last moments of the original Conduit, giving us the climactic ending that the first game should have had. Then you're dumped onto an oil rig; a cooler looking, more exciting battlefield than just about any place in the original game. That would have been enough for me, but right after that, a giant, laser breathing sea serpent popped up and started destroying everything. VIDEO HERE This is a boss fight; a real boss fight against a force many times larger than the player, with an old-fashioned health bar an everything. These are the blockbuster videogame moments that I waited for the entire time I was playing Conduit 1. Almost like an apology, Conduit 2 gave me all of that right away. Less than ten minutes in, and I could already tell that Conduit 2 wont be just a sequel. It's a reparation.

The game has so many additions and improvements, it's hard to even know where to begin. Just looking at my notes on is overwhelming. First off, High Voltage actually rewrote the way that the Wii outputs sound in order to make the Conduit 2 sound better than any other Wii title. Then there's the little style tweaks, like the additon of the ever popular "healing factor" health regeneration and universal ammo systems found in many of today's FPSs. Then there's the previously reported, but still awesome, news that the game will addition of Wii Motion Plus and Classic Controller support. Then there's the plan for headset support; a first for a Wii game. Also, the enemies A.I. has been re-written to include multiple new attack and defense maneuvers, there are over 100 different death screams for fallen enemies, there is an entirely new set of voice actors; the list goes on and on.


          I wanted to spit those little details out before they got swallowed up by Conduit 2's bigger changes and upgrades. For instance, the game's whole structure has changed. There is now a central hub where you select your missions, create new weapons, and interact with non-playable characters. Mr Ford is no longer alone in his battle. Now he's got a home base, in the middle of Atlantis no less. That's where he gets help from an attractive, armor clad super model-looking lady who also wants to keep us safe from aliens and politicians. When Hamza Aziz first saw her, he let out an audible "Whoa...", a sound that the HD loving Halo fanatic rarely makes when checking out a Wii game.

Thanks to the hub zone, we now have the option for non-linear progression. Sometimes you can choose what mission you want to take on next (Mega Man style), while other times you're given the option to back-track to previous levels. Returning to old places may open up new areas, weapons, and missions. High Voltage is planning on piling on tons of additional content beyond the approximately 12 hour long campaign mode. This isn't just to give you more bang for your buck. High Voltage's real goal with this feature, and the game in general, is to make the world of the Conduit feel like a, real, tangible place. In the real world, there is never just one "mission" or just one problem to solve. The same goes for Conduit 2. No matter the situation, there's always options.


          This time, those options will take you all over the world. In my play-through, I got to see a level that takes place in China (complete with creepy alien statues that come to life) that introductory level (with the gigantic, laser breathing sea monster and destructible environments), and Washington D.C. stage (which has become a war zone between aliens and humans, with you caught in the middle). I'm told that's just a fraction of the new areas that the game has in store.

Why are Telltale snubbing the 360 and Wii for Back to the Future?

I'm pretty sure Telltale just pulls console names out of a hat.
