This week Bonus EXP steps up to tier 1 while we play: Call of Duty Black Ops, Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare, Call of Duty Black Ops, Enslaved, Call of Duty Black Ops, some older games, and some really wierd game.
We also chat about gaming news, a user e-mail containing interesting questions, stick tuned to the end for all of that, and also some other casual discussion.
As usual use the player at the top of the site or in this post to listen to the show. Until next time, Enemy RC...
"Both Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy truly define the Japanese role-playing genre; lengthy stories, involving fantasy plots and turn-based combat are just a few things each series is known for, and over the past two decades, each has helped define JRPGs the world over. However, the big question is, how do they stack up side by side?"
People find comfort in familiarity. Apparently this marketing ploy is working both ways, as the popularity of "de-makes" of classic titles is a hot seller. Similar to the popularity of 8-bit Left4Dead, check out these hilarious videos of pirated, 8-bit de-makes from China.
"A couple times over the past few years, we've decided to sit down and take a good, cold, hard look at the PlayStation 2's library and select the best of the best to let you know what our favorites were (and are). Even though the system is fighting with every last breath to stay alive, it's still surprising to us that new games continue to creep into our list. So, because it's been a while, we figured it was time to look at our picks again and update our choices for the best 25 PlayStation 2 g..."
"Since the company was founded in 1983, Squaresoft has had a reputation of making good-quality video games. Since its first title to hit the North American market (Rad Racer back in 1987 for the NES) and through today the ratio of high-quality to low-quality games has greatly skewed toward the former. The company is now known as Square-Enix thanks to a merger with animé, manga, and video game company Enix."
"The Playstation 2 is now $99, meaning you have absolutely no excuse to not have one. In fact, you’ve already gone to the store and bought one, right? Good! You have made the right decision, the Playstation 2 library is very large and very diverse; it will fill in any gaps between releases this generation. Now that you are a proud owner of your Playstation 2 system, I am starting a series for you on what games you need to get. Each week I’ll look at a genre and what in that genre you need to g..."
"For her, it's a matter of life or death.
Japanese film actress Keiko Awaji wants to play new Dragon Quest and pronto. Awaji, who has appeared in over 160 movies since 1949 including Akira Kurosawa's police noir Stray Dog, said this about DQ, "I won't live forever. I'd like to play two more games... I really want them to put out a new game once every two years." Don't we all Awaji-san, don't we all."
"It is unfortunate that in the real world, there are certain types of people who just look like sex offenders. Whether they are or not. Peter Jackson, for example, wouldn't look out of place with his trousers round his ankles, running through a nursery and being sick all over himself. Same goes for Geoffrey out of Rainbow. There are certain people that, should it come to light that they've been arrested for some hideous sexual misdemeanor, we wouldn't be surprised. This is why it's so easy for..."
We've almost all heard about Square-Enix, but not many people have heard of Level-5, the company that are currently in the process of developing White Knight Story/Chronicles.
The question that diggingtheweb.com have asked is... can Level-5 dethrone Square-Enix? In terms of number of games, that's an obvious no with only 150 employees as at last year, however if you go by quality of games... well it was Level 5 who previously developed Dragon Quest VIII and that in itself says something ab...
From top-tier developer Level-5 comes new screenshots for a game on the Nintendo DS that is an interesting blend of two very distinct games. The name of the game is Inazuma Eleven, a soccer RPG brought to you by the people who developed Dark Cloud, Rogue Galaxy, Dragon Quest VIII, and Professor Layton.
In Inazuma you get to create your own soccer team, with almost 1000 playable characters to choose from to outfit your team for success. In your soccer battles, you will use the stylus to m...
