DF #36: Left 4 Dead Vaginas!

By kush 48 Comments

Guess who's back this week...That's right, Gus is back and we have a full cast! We discuss a little Valkyria Chronicles, some Left 4 Dead and the new Tomb Raider game (whatever this one is called). We go over Gears of War 2 for a little more and then go into the NXE update. Lastly, we wrap it all up with a little discussion on the new Community Games by yours truly. Not quite the epic show that was #35: Chainsawing Vaginas, but it's still a good one!

NEW Podcast EP DF #35: Chainsawing Vaginas!

By kush 29 Comments

This show is a man short...featuring only I(Kush) and Rob(Hendersonman), but Gus does make a surprise appearance with an even more surprising Mexican accent. I talk about my disappointment with Spider-Man: Web of Shadows and then we discuss our thoughts on Gears 2 and the L4D demo...Rob mentions his experience with the Bolt demo (yes, Bolt) and we talk about plenty of other recent news and some douchebaggery! EXPLICIT Warning...I earn our Explicit rating this week; expect more than just vaginas!

*I decided to post this on the forums just to try and get some new listeners...check it out and enjoy my chin!*

Spider-Man and Wolverine Talk Emo!

By kush 56 Comments

I was recently able to get my hands on a copy of Spider-Man: Web of Shadows and I have been pretty disappointed overall. Among all the problems, the writing is particularly bad...Just listen to this little discussion on "emos" and you'll see for yourself.

New VAGINAL DF Episode: #34 Fallout 3 Round Table

By kush 5 Comments

We start off this week's particularly less than stellar show with what we play...discussing Dead Space, Vigilante 8 on XBLA, Resistance 2 and LittleBigPlanet. We follow that up with a little round table discussion on the Mirror's Edge demo and Fallout 3. The Home beta is brought up and no one seems to care...and for once Gus is right, Valkyria Chronicles is apparently out in stores; for real!

VAGINA!: New DF Episode: #33 - Rob Hates Everything

By kush 1 Comments

We talk about a bunch of crap, including everything that Rob hates (except Fallout 3 "Second Greatest Game Evar!" confirmed). We discuss Dead Space, Fallout 3 (to an extent), Fable 2, Far Cry 2 and much more. Rob hates the Banjo demo (surprise? I think not)...he also hates the new TR demo. That is actually surprising, but he'll still buy it for "da boobies". While Rob loves Fallout 3, Gus hates the game...but not as much as Spore! Click it, download it, listen to it, love it, do it!

...and Rob also hates LittleBigPlanet (and could pass for 50)

DF #32: Suprise Vagina

By kush 7 Comments

"We talk about the awesomeness of Dead Space. How cool would a Persona game be on PSP. Saints Row 2 shenanigans with Hendersonman and Kush. And Hendersonman bitches about Fable 2 and its lack of DLC that he paid for, and how the game was overhyped by reviews. And Kush talks about Far Cry 2. And then we hit up some news before Nintendo makes Gus go bye bye."
...I really didn't talk much this week, but you should still check it out.

Game Informer Makes No Sense Part 1

By kush 20 Comments

Original Post: HERE.

Game Informer recently ran a little editorial entitled “Playstation 2 Top 25” in their September 2008 issue. This is a list of the top 25 PS2 games that “defined a generation”. This list consists of individual games, as well as franchises too. I have a few issues with the list however; from the order, to the games that are actually on it. I’ll stop wasting time and dive right into this dirty pool of games.

1) Grand Theft Auto series: “Grand Theft Auto has proven it can sell millions of copies on any system it touches, but its true power began on the Playstation 2.” I honestly don’t have a problem with this pick, or its place on the list. The GTA-series was known as a PS2 game first when GTA3 thanks to the exclusivity deal. It makes sense this game would be on a list of top PS2 games, and I can’t argue its position at #1.

2) Metal Gear Solid series: “They paved the way for action games in multiple genres, and showed us that games can be just as much fun to watch as they are to play.” Once again I have no issue with this choice, but #3 will change my willingness to agree.

3) Resident Evil 4: “This next statement will likely make you tear up a little, but if you’ve play Resident Evil 4, you know it’s true. The series is better without zombies.” This quote sucks, but they wrote nothing stating how this is a PS2 game. I know that the game was released on the PS2, but when I think of Resident Evil 4, I think of the Gamecube. Why this game is on a list of top PS2 game and at #3 makes no sense.

4) God of War series: “In addition to a well-oiled combat system, this series uses mind-bending puzzles and cinematic flair to create a classic Greek tale of vengeance.” While I may not be a fan of the series myself, I do understand why it’s here and why it’s #4. The series is loved by critics and it’s very much a Sony IP; I have no issues with this choice.

5) Final Fantasy X & XII: “Forget about the side-stories and massively multiplayer forays; these two Final Fantasy titles are the best role-playing experiences you’ll find on the PS2.” Again, I’m not a fan of the series, but it would be impossible to have a list featuring top PS2 games without the inclusion of a Final Fantasy game.

6) Guitar Hero series: “It may not have been the first music game, but Guitar Hero is certainly the one that popularized the genre.” I have issues with this series’ place on the list. Why is this game #6? Does it belong on the list...yes. Does it belong anywhere near the top...no. The games/series that are ranked lower than this is slightly baffling.

7) Gran Turismo series: “Thanks to Gran Turismo, we expect our racing games to not only offer a wealth of real-life cars, but also test our racing abilities and push our engine to the limit.” This series belongs on the list, arguably higher than #7. It’s one of the first series I think about when I remember the PS2 and Gran Turismo 3 was the game that made me buy a PS2.

8) Ratchet and Clank series: “The company (Insomniac) combined action, platforming, and RPG elements to create one of the funniest, most polished video game series on the market.”  I'm a fan of this series, but I don’t think it belongs in the top 10, especially above the Jak & Daxter series. I never found the Ratchet and Clank series quite up to par with that of Jak & Daxter, not to take anything away from the little Lombax and pile of metal.

9) Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3: “The PS2 was gifted with a new Tony Hawk title every year, but only one is deserving of immortality.” The game belongs here; maybe not in the top 10, but at least somewhere in the teens. This was the high point for the series and it’s never been quite the same.

10) Devil May Cry 1 & 3: “Swords and guns are nothing new to gaming, but Devil May Cry combines them in a fast and fluid combat system that essentially created the ‘stylish action’ genre.” While I love the first game; I never really got into the numerous sequels. That being said, I believe that the first game alone warrants a spot in the top 10.

…Part 2 will come out in the coming days, but expect much more disagreement and my final thoughts on the list as a whole. You may already notice missing games so far, but trust me; the order of this list will soon become very confusing. Key games to look out for include: Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, Okami, Kingdom Hearts, Jak & Dakter, and much more.

Game Informer tries, but they ultimately fail...like below.
