A Happy Little Game

Do I have your attention now? You see that friendly afro'ed artisan up there? Do you see what he is holding? What is that thing? COULD IT BEEEEEEEEEEEEE....... a Nintendo Revolution controller? DING DING DING! That's abso-fucking-lutely right! Now are we to assume that there is a Bob Ross painting game coming out for the Nintendo Revolution that will utilize the fantastical gyroscopical controller? The answer clearly is... maybe. The development team AGFRAG, which the head of team, Joseph Hatcher, sports a huge "afro" for Bob Ross, has yet to seal a deal with any publishers. AGFRAG is also developing the title for Nintendo's DS and for the PC platform. Then you could paint with Bob Ross and not with Microsoft. I for one am heading out to the stores and picking up a giant 'fro in anticipation of this title.

It's Funny Because It's True

Thank you Dueling Analogs for this insightful look into the lives of PSP owners.

This Is No Game. This IS The Revolution.

I have an update about a couple of titles that have been announced for the Revolution.

One is Ubisoft's Red Steel. A game in which you arm yourself with either a gun or a sword and then proceed to shoot or slash through baddies. Sounds like fun, but only with the Revolution controller! This game actually has a screen shots out. CHECK IT!



The other game is a gothic-esque horror title developed by the Polish team, NIBRIS, entitled Sadness. It takes place before the first World War and will mainly be in black & white. BADASS! No?

With Full Pouting Lips...

She's back. The sex symbol that helped redefine videogames, and has been dropping bombs ever since her first game, Lara Croft, is back in Tomb Raider: Legends. She's been harvesting an average 80% from critics across the globe. I'm pretty excited about this title. I have not yet had a chance to play it, but if anyone picks it up please post your insight on the game. As for now, to whet your appetite, check out the trailer...

Bow Chicka Oblivion

Shaun Of The Dead Tone

Shaun Of The Dead The Game! ... for cell phones? Yeah, so a UK-based development company is making a FPS for cell phones based off of the famous RomZomCom (Romantic Zombie Comedy.) The game is being designed so that it can casually be played with one hand. The premise is that you are Shawn. You are at the Winchester. You have to defend your friends by whatever means neccesary. That means using weapons such as a winchester shotgun, cricket bat, and vinyl LPs. I honestly have no idea how this game will be, but if you want an amazingly simple and entertaining cell phone game check out Skipping Stone. It's well worth the $5.99 price tag. The premise for Skipping Stone is that you skip a stone as long as you can. You use only the 5 button in this game to keep your stone skipping. It also utilizes the vibration feature of your phone. How cool is that?
