TGS 2010 Reach Launch and Reach Ending

TGS this year was crazy. I think it had more quality annoucements than E3 did. At least they were kept a actual secret instead of the usual week or two before E3 everyone finds out about new stuff. I'm excited about a lot but here are the most exciting announcements. This is in order of the most exciting for me.

Ico Collection: Holy shit this one is going to be amazing. I didn't have a PS2 I opted for the N64 ( I know I know) I almost bought a PS2 until I started hearing rumors this might come around. This above all else is the can't miss game of the Spring.


Asura's Wrath from Capcom: This got labeled as a God of War clone by fucking idiot game journalist. I assume because of nothing more than having QTE's. This game doesn't involve anything to me that remotely looks like GOW even if you argue it has a huge boss so did Bayonetta, Shadow of the Colossus and many others. It's got a huge list of influences from Manga to Lost. This will be one to watch.

Radiant Silvergun: coming to XBLA Spring 2011 I never got to play the first one but can't wait till this comes out. My tournament edition fightstick is ready to go!

Project Dark: Demons Souls 2? Yes Please! The original is like crack this will be a day one purchase.

The Last Guardian: Even though this was announced awhile ago. I'm still excited and can't wait for this one either.

Curious About these:

Ninja Gaiden 3
Firepro Wrestling for XBLA

Disappointed with

DmC: I only played a little of the original and part of 4 but this trailer just pissed me off. I'm not even a huge fan of Dante but this looks awful. Ninja Theory doesn't have a good track record and as far as I'm concerned so I won't be buying this. Who wants to play Dante as a emo little punk who looks like a Twilight reject.

I'm skeptical about the Kinect I could care less about using it for menus or more sports games. I don't give a shit about shooting more arrows, bowling or dancing. But if these guys can pull off Steel Battalion and Project Draco I will be sold on it. Those two games SB in particular are pretty exciting and I will wait till one gets released see how it's received then buy a Kinect. I don't want to see any gimic control either it has to be a heads up display you can interact with and with Draco it better be revolutionary. We'll see I'm still on the no side of the fence on these.

Just finished Halo Reach today. Amazing game it's Halo but the story made the difference this time. I loved every minute and restarted immediately on Legendary. I'm up to the fourth level on that now. It's pretty difficult I won't lie but after practicing up on Heroic it's not bad. Good times lots of game news can't wait for all these new ones next year.

Pic from IGN head over there they have a good article and more screenshots.

Halo Reach Extended Cut!!

This almost leaves you speechless. I've seen the comments people saying this is MS just marketing it up for the frat boys. To those people I really wonder what your looking for in a game trailer? You find this repulsive? Get over it piss off. Even if I didn't enjoy the Halo story this trailer is amazing either way. Enjoy the game Reach is shaping up to be a great experience.

Metroid Other M Review

Samus is at it again. Hunting, bounty hunting or flying around space hunting pirates; whatever sexy bounty hunters do. Well technically Metroid Other M starts up right after Super Metroid ends. This marks the beginning of Samus having her own voice which I think sounds good. The game is a new entry in the series but not without faults.Clunky switch between 2d into FPS is not great especially when your trying to shoot a missile at a boss and your controller flakes out on you not cool. Otherwise the environments and music are spot on I love the game I'll deal with the faults they don't stop my enjoyment of Metroid, searching environments, finding new weapons all on your own.

Whats past is prologue...... METROID FTW

Just watch.........



Available in HD 

Now buy......... HURRY

Scott Pilgrim Kicking Your 16-Bit Ass!

So today I have almost finished the game. I am up to Gideon and will take him on later tonight. I'm excited to see what gets unlocked after the credits roll. The game can be a little messed up at times the hit detection can be off and sometimes when you hit start to pause it you don't get a menu for 10 seconds. Those have been the only things to annoy me so far. Other than that it's all good!!  Here are some helpful things that will get you kicking ass in no time.

• Play through the first few levels get $129.95 it might be possible to get on the first play through but doubtful you need some serious combo's. Go back to Wallace's secret shop in the second part of level one. (If you have beat that level you can start at the shopping district it's closer) It's right after the bus tries to run you over and the road dips down. you'll see a star on the side on the wall.(see above) Just go up to it and your in. Buy the Bionic Arm, it will level up your strength and now all your hits will triple or quadruple the hit damage. 
• Buy extra lives here also Tialoc's Feast $49.95. 
• Use your environment to create combos. Get a few baddies and a recycle bin keep punching it toward's them and your good. 
• When your flashing yellow do your best to put baddies against a wall and unleash your punch combo attack. I topped out a 253 hit combo on the zombie level. NICE

This will get you started and don't forget the zombie code: Down, Up, Right, Down Up, Right, Down, Up, Right, Right, Right or DUR DUR DURRR perfect right?

Scott Pilgrim PSN Release 16-Bit Glory!!!

Que the angel music Scott Pilgrim has morph-balled into the PSN and looks better than ever.

The PSN got it's timed exclusive Pilgrim adventure about 6:30pm eastern today. I played through the first few levels and it's amazing. Behold it yourself in the free demo also released today. The combat so far feels a little slow I'm sure I just have to get used to the combo's and I'll be stringing them together like Batman in Arkham. The graphics are top notch pixel art done by the infamous Paul Robertson. If your not familiar with his work do yourself a favor watch these Pirate Baby's Cabana Battle and Kings of Power. He did an amazing job with the game it's everything you would want from a Pilgrim game. The first boss battle was not to hard but a good challenge and a feast for the eyes. Sorry I love this pixel art it's just my favorite. Just go play the demo you will buy it afterwards I promise.

One thing to watch out for is when you purchase you will get two files. The demo and a 6kb download which is actually the file that unlocks the demo into a full game. Download both and start up the game. I got confused for a minute but don't worry it works fine. Enjoy and check out the movie Friday!

Muramasa The Demon Blade & Makoto

Well first off my Momohime figure shipped from Hong Kong on 7-30. She should be here this week and check out this review I'm more excited than before.

I should also be getting my MvsC2 tournament stick today so I'll be paying Deathsmiles and Ikaruga with it for a test run then get into Street Fighter HD remix later. I'm probably picking up Blazblue Continuum Shift this week as well. You can download Makoto which was previously a Japan exclusive.
She looks cool:

Oh and I started playing Muramasa on the extra hard Shigurui mode. It's pretty fun it gives you a extra level of anticipation trying to just not get hit. Anyway buy it already it's been out a year already.
