Third Parties learning to kick ass on the Wii.

Big deal you say right? Well the big deal is 1. Its Nintendo and all you hear from PS3/360 fanboys is the lack of 3rd party games. 2. These are some of the bloodiest games to come out on any console, not just for the Wii.(please show me bloodier I am interested) 3. One of those Third parties happens to be an old friend trying to dig out from a world of awful arcade style games that never happened to live up to expectations.

MadWorld


I lead off with the video from the upcoming title MadWorld from SEGA (you read that right SEGA). The biggest surprise here is that not only is SEGA starting to put out awesome games, but the fact that they are downright standing behind them with some of the best video game advertisements possible.

House of the Dead: Overkill


The only thing that could bring this all home for me is more zombie killing.
Goodmorning Capcom.

Dead Rising Chop Till you Drop


I am going to have absolutely no money this year.


Oh yeah! I said i wasn't going to focus on video games didn't I.

Holiday 08 What will I be getting?

The gaming season is pretty much in full swing by now with heavy hitting titles dropping just about every tuesday. What am I looking forward to playing?

Dead Space
Truth is, I've already played it and finished it, but that was mostly while passing it back and forth with a couple of friends. I'm looking forward to privately re-crapping my pants in the comfort of my very dark, very cold room, that is after I plow through a couple of other big titles

Fallout 3
Over the summer I finally hit 1250 gamer points for Oblivion on xbox live and with that I banished the game from my presence forever. It seems that Bethesda took note and decided they'd start ruining my life again, starting this upcoming tuesday.

Far Cry 2
Seriously huge game world and an incredible map editor.

Gears of War 2
Chainsaws

Little Big Planet
I've always not so secretly wanted to be a game designer, but I don't have the programming know-how to make it happen. This game gives a little taste, plus its adorable. C'mon, just look at it.

Animal Crossing: City Folk
I'm not so sure I'm going to be getting this one, as I'm not exactly in love with my Nintendo products anymore, but Animal Crossing is addictive as hell and I'm excited to see how this one turns out.

Valkyria Chronicles
Looks like a pretty solid tactical RPG with some slick visual design. Not a buy-on-sight, but definitely something to watch

Fable II
Another game that I've already played a decent amount, but not in the comfort of my own home. From what I can tell its pretty solid, but not sure I'm going to lay down the goods to purchase it for a while.

TGS: I didn't talk about it?

So TGS this year was not very impressive. No heart-attack moments or really anything beyond the expected. Most of what was shown was basically new trailers and gameplay for old games. Some of which had already been released. Yeap. Anyway, some other cool stuff happened like Bioshock PS3 was released and included this:



BUT WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN???! Thus starts at least another year of wild speculations as to the plot of this game.

TGS---I'll probably talk about it.

Matt R. down there busted in my house the other day with a baseball bat and threatened to take out one of my kneecaps if I didn't start writing on here more often. I lied to him and said I would, and then we played some cricket.

Anyway, despite almost all of that being a total embellishment I'll be considerably more active later this week when TGS starts (Thursday)

I won't be there, seeing as its happening on the other side of the planet, but I'll be ravenously pouring though the web for any good info and let all zero of you know what I think.

Dear Science

The new TV on the Radio album listens like how I imagine diamond plated underpants feel. Go buy it. GO!
