"Most of the games in my Backlog are things I bought just because they were on sale, but I also have a bunch of artsy-smarsty games that I bought because I felt like I should play them. Some designers specialize in this sort of weird game, and they develop a cult following for anything they make. One such fellow is Goichi Suda, or Suda51. He is responsible for No More Heroes and the upcoming Lollipop Chainsaw. But before those games, he created a Gamecube title called Killer 7. This has be..."
Bright Hub takes cult classic Killer7 for a spin to decide if the title still holds up to gaming's ever-changing standards. Does the game still look and play as good as it did back in 2005?
Suda51 is easily one of the most interesting video game directors in the business. His unique concepts and sense of style have managed to create some of the most compelling gaming experiences ever seen on a console. Bright Hub takes a look at Suda51's complex mind and delivers a concise overview of the director's awesome career.
Which is the better character between Travis Touchdown from No More Heroes and Jack Cayman from MadWorld? Bright Hub compares and contrasts the two protagonists and gives you a clear cut winner.
Destructoid has added No More Heroes' Travis Touchdown to their Badass of the Month Club. After being overlooked and underrated for far too long, as some fans might say, he's finally getting his due respect with the release of his second game. Travis now stands among such recently added badass characters as Dead Rising's Frank West and Guilty Gear XX's I-No.
"In light of some decisions recently made by third party developers, I believe I have some ideas as to why it's hard to sell hardcore third-party titles on the Wii.
So what do you do? The Wii doesn't have all the technical features of the 360 or the PS3. So how can a third party make a Wii hardcore title that can compete with 360 and PS3 hardcore titles? EA actually had a pretty good idea with Dead Space: Extraction. HD console owners who like Dead Space would be interested. Plus, there ar..."
"When Electronic Arts announced Dead Space Extraction for the Wii—a follow-up to the million-plus selling PS3, 360, and PC title Dead Space—the company explained that the game would be used as a test case to see whether or not it would develop more Mature-rated Wii games in the future. And according to NPD sales figures, Extraction failed: it sold just 9,200 copies in its first week. So what does this mean for the future of Mature Wii games?"
With the way things are with the world's economy even the video game industry isn't exempt from feeling the pinch. Marvelous Entertainment is definitely one of those companies who are feeling the heat right now. A staff blog post (presumably by the Managing Director Yasuhiro Wada) states how they feel about their software sales on the Wii. He states how poorly some of their main titles have been selling on the Wii and says that, "I truly have teary eyes. I feel like crying."
However, there...
"Oh the Wii, the poor old Wii. It is doing so well for a company that in terms of home consoles was on the brink of doom after the slightly lacking Gamecube, yet it receives a lot of slack for its casual line up although at times it can be a little deserving of its negative praise (need I mention countless amounts of shovelware?). But today we honour those that went by with a bit of a fizzle, some promising that didn't quite meet the standard set by themselves, some fantastic games that didn't..."
"Lets not forget about the console wars! There are sale charts, there are fanboys slamming other fanboys data, there are all sorts of ways to decide the winner of the console wars One of them is, of course, checking the exclusive games and thats exactly what were planning to do now. So, the battle is on: PS3 vs. Xbox 360 vs. Wii which console has the best exclusives?"
Stuck for buying a game this Christmas Wii owners? Be stuck no more! There's a great variety of games out there just waiting to be bought and played. The Christmas list is separated into four categories "bargains for the cheap, essentials to prevent embarrassment, socializers to bring everyone together and epics to log the hours". Each game has the name, a picture, price, rating and a description.
What will you buy this Christmas?
"If were not jumping through hoops trying to save a kingdom, were fetching some rare Crystal Sword of Infinite Necromancy all out of the kindness of our hearts. What do we get in return? Ah, gee thanks for risking life and limb to do a big ol fancypants favor for me and restoring our world to what it once was from the Dark Ruler of Naught. Heres a medal, young adventurer. Never mind our bustling cleavage. Now get the hell out, street rat. Sorry bout the hard-on.
Whaaaaaa? Faster than..."
