  • @ChrisInCali said: " You know, I think Wii only owners have severely lowered their standards because I kept hearing that this game was really good, but after watching this quick look, I would definitely have to disagree.  Too many annoying loading screens, super shallow gameplay which feels even worse considering those mentioned loading screens, and the same waggle crap as always.  If this was an XBLA game for $10 I ...

  • btw, after the full circle + shoot, you dont have to constantly rock the stick back and forth. once you get into the aiming mode you can just aim as you wish. the tutorial threw me off too.

  • Mannnn, I was bummed I had to leave the panel early, you guys were back to back with the Brodeo reunion. If you looked in the adjacent bathroom to the theater it was in, you could see the results of one of the contestants.

  • Main menu music = rad
  • Wow, this is tough
  • The 360 dpad is bullocks (say no to the analog stick!)
I'm especially bad at diagonals, good thing the arm shoots at that angle by default
  • Wow, this is real tough
I wish they showed the amount of lives on the HUD, I chew through those quick
  • Dialogue = rad
  • Screen tearing?
  • The lack of being able to train with grenade and barrel throwing is eh

RPG Maker + 4chan + Paul Robertson (Pirate Baby’s Cabana Battle Street Fight 2006 / Kings of Power Four Billion %) =


Not for the faint of heart, a little on the disturbing side, actually. Haven't gotten too far myself, the Tutorial Owl makes me a sad panda.

Messing around with the flash functionality, I got what's ostensibly the equivalent of one of the key features of any MySpace profile. Auto. Playing. Music.

Oh yes, you nailed it xkcd:



The implications of embedded flash already scares me. While it's damn useful for showing off gamercards right now, hopefully this scourge doesn't spread.

Smokin' Sick Style (X360)
Devil May Cry 4's debut onto the 360 is a welcome addition in the platform's growing collection of prior PlayStation exclusives. Top notch presentation in the cutscenes and character designs showcase movie like directing and badass Advent Children like gun/swordplay. The gameplay is what you've come to expect from the ...

Pixar The Shooter (PC)
In Valve's decision of embracing a cell shaded world for the Team Fortress franchise, they've managed to create a spectacular team oriented fps that has the inner workings of a Swiss watch. From the well thought out character designs to the fully realized environments, you're likely to get mileage out ...

Ohhs and Ahhs (PC)
What Crysis lacks in substance is made up with in explosions and shaders. The amount of enjoyment to be had in this game will likely be proportional to the specs of your computer. Graphical achievements aside, the gameplay offers non linear objectives and wide open environments in which to do ...

Addictingly Charming (XBLM)
Carcassonne for the Xbox Live Arcade is a faithful and feature full adaption of the classical board game of the same game. The art style is consistent with the theme and compliments the gameplay. Friendly to pick up and provides deep strategy adding to its replayability.
