So should I run out to the store and buy Punch-Out and say fuck it to Infamous. I will be very happy for a week, then reality will set in.

 Stay strong.  Think of the platinum trophy.  Think of the fun you will have jumping off of skyscrapers and slamming into the middle of busy intersections.  That can't be matched by some silly boxer.

phantom_leo said:

No, seriously. It all fits together perfectly:

You've got the jaded, ex-commando. You've got the Mysterious Colonel running the mission. You've got your rocket-propelled launch, un-armed (literally) into enemy territory. You've got the gruff voice.

You've even got the slow, dramatic standing pose after leaping out of the entry pod.

This is Capcom's Metal Gear wannabe!

It's a shame they didn't actually stand behind their own franchise and make it themselves though!

Here's where we REALLY send Vader running to BlockBuster:

Think of it as a Summer Movie Game. Sure it may not be getting the best reviews, but you go in expecting over-dramatic acting, big explosions and fun just for fun's sake and THATS what you get!

It's NOT going to set the videogame world on fire, but it makes one HELL of an AWESOME weekend rental!

Now, I expect to see a weekend devoted to getting all the Platinum Trophies --AND-- a Blog entry where you say it was a pleasant, little surprise and give it a 7/10, Vader... Go!

I wonder if Bethesda just isn't getting their back scratched as much as they'd like from MS.  It is odd to see them taking a more heavily multiplatform approach.  First they announce heavier Wii support, and today they announce that they are finally releasing DLC for the PS3 version of Fallout 3.

The DLC was probably always timed but the contract probably meant they had to pretend it was exclusive forever.

As for their Wii games, I am reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaly skeptical. Did you play Fallout 3 Rag? How does it compare to Oblivion. Crap I want so many games but they never seem to come down in price. I still can't get COD4 for a half decent price. And by half decent I dont mean bargain bin cheap, but I don't expect full price months and months and months later.

Fallout 3 is very similar to Oblivion but I like the combat more, the main story is a lot more focused. It has much fewer side missions but they are all interesting. Oblivion is a far bigger world with many more things to do, Fallout 3 kind of cuts all the fat and gives a more focus experience.

 What he said... I think both games are superb.  If you liked one, you'll like the other.

 What if you liked Morrowind more?!

Destructoid: It's like Kotaku but more...

Gay.

Seriously, I should be the last one complaining, but between THIS and last weeks "10 Hour Masturbating Contest Winner" W T F is up wit dat?!

 Is he fisting the bed?

Wow at that old Punch-Out arcade, brings back memories. Body blow, body blow!

Trico, old footage, but nice concept. Seems to be a mix of Ico and SotC. Hopefully we will see a finished version of it at E3.

Team ICO does it again.  Project Trico or whatever its name ends up is already game of the generation for me.  The video brought tears to my eyes.  i just hope fumito ueda does not kill off that beast or i might never recover.  Thank you to who posted the update.

 Shame that's old footage.

But man, that's a great concept right there.

God that Tyra Banks segment was idiotic. The playing games stigma will never leave I guess. Gaming is no different than any other hobby that a person is obsessed with, the obsessed aspect is the issue not the fact that its with gaming. Its a form of entertainment just like everything else.

 I think it was hilarious. Women trying to figure out what kind of man you are by the games that you play. What about those guys that play games in nearly every genre?

 Multiple personalities?

Dvader said:

We better not start some buy Boom Blox 2 movement on this site. I dont care how many 9's it gets. You can only obsess over one Wii game a month, this month its Punch-Out.

 It's too soon for me to get excited over it. If people didn't get the original they can and should buy it immediately. But the original has so many levels, they really should have left it till at least Christmas before releasing the sequel. I mean crap damn how many Wii games are coming out recetenly? Little Kings Story, two tennis games, Bash Party, Punch Out, Conduit, Anno etc. 

Even if you wanted to, financially it's impossible to keep up. 

SteelAttack said:

Actually, in order to force myself to fulfill my vow of not buying new games, I had to turn my credit and debit cards to my wife. She handles all the expenses now,  sort of like the steward of Gondor. Until the king returns, that is.

So yeah, for all intents and purposes, I'm broke.

  The steward became entrenched and didn't want to recognise the Return of the King. You are screwed

 So I guess America did get Disaster Day of Crisis?

Speaking of MGS, did anyone see the season finale of 24. The ending was meh but the overall season was good. But holy crap, 24 has become MGS, its scary how similar the two are. Dont want to spoil it for some so I wont go into detail.

 It's on next Monday over here in a double bill. It's just finished the threat here. Reminds me of season one. I hate Kim. She was only ever good in one episode, think it was season 2, she wore this vest and her nipples showed. Ah yes. Now kill the annoying wench already!

Not sure how I feel about this series, it's a bit hotch potch. Getting rid of CTU, I feel like 24 needs to maybe curb back on the whole concept of everyone is expendable apart from the J man. And the villain swapping gets annoying. It was novel way back when the baddy dropped to be replaced by another one. But its getting ridiculous here.

So, how would I go about finding the Deadly Creatures thread? I have impressions to post.

 The forums have a search box.
