Kung Lao's absence may not be nearly as "criminal" as Johnny Cage's...but damnit, HE THROWS HATS. RESPECT.

My 360 version kept freezing on a specific loading screen late in the game, so I had to load a save from a few hours prior to that point. I think it froze once or twice out in the wasteland. Uncool, but not totally unexpected, as I had a similar experience with Oblivion.

I had bad karma with the first character I had quest through there, so all the slavers were giving me high fives and throwing stimpaks at me. It was precious, so I couldn't kill them.

This post relates to: Is Castle Crashers totally busted, or what?
I was sort of disappointed when I kept getting throttled by an early boss in the game, to the point of almost giving up. Then I thought that I might try teaming up with somebody online to make progress, and viola! First game I created was a full hour of kicking ass with some dude I didn't know. Unfortunately, since then I haven't had consistent luck getting games going online. To call it busted, for me, is an exaggeration; I've heard of the game dumping saves, and if that happens to me, I wouldn't hesitate to call it busted.EDIT: A minute or two after posting this, my 360 froze after populating a list of custom games available for online co-op. Yikes.
This post relates to: What platform (X360, PS3, PC) are you getting Bionic Commando Rearmed on?
I bought it on the XBLA this afternoon. I never played the original, but I'm definitely liking it so far.
This post relates to: Burnout Paradise, Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2, Soul Calibur, Braid, What are you playing this weekend?
Braid, SoulCalibur IV, Geometry Wars 2, and probably some of the update to Burnout Paradise.
This post relates to: What features would you like to see added to profiles on GB?
Perhaps this is a pipe dream, but I just might shed happy tears if GB's "Collection" lists could sync with the user's Delicious Monster library. (Delicious Monster is an app that scans your games'/movies'/books' bar codes to add them to a virtual shelf. Jeff was using it when scanning MGS4 in one of the "How to Build a Bomb" episodes.)

Though they’re a developer with a heavy background in the theme park tycoon genre, Frontier Developments has brought about one of themost atmospheric title’s the Wii has seen in LostWinds. Combine that
with intuitive Wii controls, you’ve got yourself a steal for $10 (1,000
Wii Points.)
The story in LostWinds begins with your protagonist, Toku, waking up to a bit of wind. Soon thereafter he falls off a cliff and picks up a stone that holds the world’s Wind Spirit inside. That’s all fantastic, but sadly this is about as exciting as the story gets. The Wind Spirit tells you the story of how it’s hard out there for a Spirit, and what peril the world is about to face due to the escape of the most diabolical insect looking thing ever. Very generic, which is really unfortunate, as the organic setting could have benefited from having some kind of emotional attachment to Toku. Speaking of the setting, the atmosphere this game creates is second-to-none in my book. It’s not just the calming music, the way the world reacts to your gusts, the natural wind audio, or the games art: It’s how every piece of the atmosphere’s puzzle compliments the others. Now let’s get something straight: this game does not create the conventional atmosphere that a BioShock fashions, as seeing the protagonist from the third person fundamentally removes you from the environment. Still, the rural Japanese tone is something to behold. To control Toku’s movement you will be using both the Nunchuck and Wii Remote. Move left or right with the analog stick, and when jumping use the remote to control the winds to control Toku in the air. You’ll also be solving puzzles with the wind, which range from simply drawing a line to drawing lines, opening doors, pulling levers, and watering plants in hopes of obtaining a ball with holes in it. The controls are solid from start to finish, and they achieve something very few Wii games have yet to sniff: the player doesn’t realize they’re controlling the game with flicks of the wrist. As such, this game could only be successful on the Wii. There is however one not-so-minor problem. This game needs a FREAKING MAP. There are points in the game (and by points in the game, I mean for the entirety of the three to four hours LostWinds lasts) where you will be told to go to a specific location to find a certain something. While that’s not at all unexpected given the genre of game this is, there are simply not enough hints to inform you of where in Chris Hansen’s name you are while exploring. Actually, Frontier Developments are to the successful middle-aged men on To Catch a Predator as video game critics are to Chris Hansen: Frontier KNOWS their game isn’t scum, but when Sir Hansen asks “So what exactly are you doing here [without a map]?” all they can say is “We were just going t-… I don’t know what I was thinking.” Even so, LostWinds is a must-play for Wii owners that enjoy either puzzle-dusted 2D platformers, or games with ambiance.
