And that MegaMan 9 shit is beyond great. I'd easily sell Iga's soul (and his rear end) to the devil in order to get it.

Dead Space a possible GotY contender? Woah. I've really liked what I've seen on the game so far but I wasn't expecting it to possibly be GotY material. I'm still keeping my expectations tempered but I am starting to get really pumped for this game.

Overlord 2 is sounding pretty cool. I did play some of the first game and really enjoyed it. Never got around to picking it up like I wanted to. Definately got my eye on this one.

That Mega Man 9 set is freakin' awesome. I so want me one of those.

To be a GoTY contender the game has to be released in 2008. So there

What about Overlord Wii version Arch? Overlord + Pointer Controls = Hawtness

Well the game is coming out this year. October I believe, maybe around Halloween. Oooo spooky.

Yeah I'm still keeping an eye on the Wii Overlord which should be quite fun, hopefully, with the Wii-mote. It'll be a different game so depending on how it turns out I may want to grab that one as well.

Edit: Actually the release date for Dead Space is Oct. 14th for 360/PS3 and Oct. 20th for PC.

Morning!

Do you aussies scratch your balls when you wake up in the morning?

IGN's new look is fugly.

Devil May Cry 4 is owning my soul! Well not that much but I'm having a blast with it.

Here's a screen from my PC.

Yeah DMC4 while it could have been better is still a great game. I'd like to go back to it sometime and try to get a few more achievements and get further in the Bloody Palace mode.

Beautiful game, innit? You're using a controller, right?

Anyway - just updated with news from teh November issue of Nintendo Power. Sonic Chronicles got an 8, repeat, an 8.

Yeah I'm using a controller (though no rumble because DMC4 doesn't support most rumble types) and yeah my PC is running it max on direct x 9 (damn greedy Windows for not making XP support X10) and the pic is obviously compressed because my PC is running in it in way higher resolution. Though while once in a while I stop to look at its beauty most of the game I don't even notice or care about the graphics. There are even times where I prefer the DMC3 artstyle.

Or am I alone on this? Sorry but at times DMC4 looks way too grey and uninspiring.

I'm probably sure that someone will hack the game and find a way to get DX10 settings on XP. It's been done with Crysis..

Yeah just saw it. Oboro is will be called Muramasa: The Demon Blade.

If my memory is correct Muramasa used to be an evil blade than was the counter part of the famous Masamune.

*Goes to Wiki

The swords of Muramasa are often contrasted with those of Masamune, another Japanese swordsmith.

There is a legend of a Masamune blade and a Muramasa blade being put into a river strewn with lotus leaves. The leaves swirled around the Masamune blade untouched, but the Muramasa blade cut them.

It has also been told that once drawn, a Muramasa blade has to draw blood before it can be returned to its scabbard, even to the point of forcing its wielder to wound himself or commit suicide Thus, it is thought of as a demonic cursed blade that creates bloodlust in those who wield it.

Yep, sometimes I even ameze myself.

More about the swords

Muramasa Sengo (千子 村正 Sengo Muramasa) was a famous swordsmith who founded the Muramasa school and lived during the Muromachi period (16th century) in Japan. Oscar Ratti and Adele Westbrook said that Muramasa "was a most skillful smith but a violent and ill-balanced mind verging on madness, that was supposed to have passed into his blades....They were popularly believed to hunger for blood and to impel their warrior to commit murder or suicide."

Muramasa's swords fell out of favor with the Japanese government when Tokugawa Ieyasu became shogun, establishing the Tokugawa Shogunate, in 1603. It is said that Ieyasu had lost many friends and relatives to Muramasa blades and had cut himself badly with one, so he forbade his samurai to wear blades made by Muramasa.

This is todays leason kids

Yeah DMC4 is amazing, I dont think its as good as DMC3 but its right there, like so close. What it does so well (and you will see it soon) is you play two distinct play styles in one game, and both are incredibly deep.  Fantastic game.
