So last night a friend came over and brought Muramasa and HOTD Overkill.  Muramasa is a beautiful game (will look so much better in HD though) and I really enjoyed the combat. It had an interesting combat system. It's something I will enjoy.

HOTD is pretty awesome too, it's grindhouse style is so well done. We were laughing our asses off at the cutscenes and dialogue. But it's a light gun game, a much faster paced light gun game than RE but I dont know if that makes it better, especially cause of the wiimote. Unlike Umbrella Chronicles, I have a memory of what HOTD is supposed to be like, it's a series I played growing up. Having no actual light gun makes this game feel so different. While playing I stopped to take a look at how my friend and I are playing and we are just resting our hands making tiny wrist motions to aim, that is nothing like having an actual gun pointed at the screen. All my memories of playing real light gun games came rushing back to me and I sat there sad that it has come to this, me slightly moving my wrist.

And graphically I dont care for it, it has that Wii look (I really dont like how human like models look in most Wii games, except in RE games cause they do something different, maybe cause they were GC games first), I miss the really colorful look of the old HOTD games.  Also in the first minute of the original game you were fighting gargoyles, mutant frogs, evil monkeys, giant leeches and the regular zombie, in this game there are a lot of zombies and rarely anything else. I think the game is constantly loading cause there are slight hitches in the game as you play, kind of weird.

I personally like the slower more strategic gameplay of UC, it kind of makes up for the shortcomings of not having an actual gun. If I had an actual light gun then HOTD would be amazing. But for fans of light guns I can see it has a ton of content, and it has a good combo and scoring system.  I still may get it cheap.

I have HOTD 2 and 3 return. They have NOT aged well. Once you go back to them they are fun for nostalgia but compared to Overkill they are bad.

When I played Overkill at a friends he brought over Viper Wiimote shells, it was like using a light gun, although was slightly strange to me, I preffered using the remote by itself.

Did you play the game through from start to finish? You should try playing it on a great SDTV it keeps getting better, the prison level is a particular highlight. The enemies are mainly zombies year, but I'm not sure mutant frogs and gargoyles would work in this game.

I'm pretty sure you're talking about the frame pops, that's not the game loading I dont think. It seems to be because of the limbs being blown off all over the place and rolling about. I think its calculating what should happen when you blow sections off.

As for the human character models, of the main characters the only one I dont like is G because he has this angular face. Zombies and monsters are all great.  

I played the first three levels, I will finish it up later. Everything you say is fine except that mutant frogs or gargoyles wouldnt work, what the hell. Anything would work in this game, there are no limits to a game like this. They could have a chick with mutant snakes coming out of her tits. Some evil monkey with like three heads who throw lava shit at you. It doesnt matter what you come up with, it fits.

I got to play a little bit of Arkham Asylum at a shop today.

I went in there to see if they started selling the new Beatles remasters early, but instead, I played literally about five minutes of the game. Just the opening, so I got a good look at some of the cutscenes and combat. I'm impressed.

Man I wish I had a PS3 to play it on...

So what's the deal with that, are you getting it fixed or replacing it?

We're fixing it.

Yeah I think in most kinds of games, you NEED to have an actual controller of SOME type. You can't play a game with nothing but body motions alone unless its a dance game or some kind of touch/interact thing where you don't use weapons/vehicles/items in game (Like that Milo thing they showed for Natal).

I fear if they do try to make NORMAL games with Natal, they will be forced to strip out much of the usual interactions and the games will basically be nearly playing themselves. Lets face it Nintendo nailed it with the Remote; its a perfect balance of controller interaction and gesture/motion interaction. Although I still think the Wiimote should have had a few more buttons and a better button layout.

Imagine if instead of the giant A button they instead had 4 normal face buttons there? Would've been huge in many games and cut down on unneeded waggle.

 It's trying to be like a 70s zombie movie. A virus has been leaked out. Gargoyles? How exactly does a statue get infected?

Godamn D, play on an SDTV already.

Why is it whenever I post pictures of ass, Steel is there either immediately before or after the post?

Ass-senses tingling?

I think you've got it backward -- Steel's posts give you the uncontrollable urge to post ass!

I'm hesitant about which game should I tackle now. I was thinking of giving N3 a go. Is it long? Has anyone played it?

How 'bouts some Pool. You bring the balls, I'll bring the stick!

Is the stick large?

You would definitely need two hands to hold it!
