Amazon just knocked $51 off the price of the Mad Catz Street Fighter IV T.E. FightStick for Xbox 360 bringing it down to just $98.99! For some odd reason, they’ve only taken $20 off the price of the PS3 version, leaving it at $129.99. :/ I already have a T.E. stick for the PS3, but I’ve been wanting one for the 360 as well so I can play online against my anti Sony friends. Might have to pick this up before the deal goes away. 
After almost a whole year of waiting patiently, CAVE’s gothic lolita bullet hell shmup DeathSmiles is finally making its way to North America. Full press release and screenshots after the jump. Continue reading “It’s About Time: DeathSmiles Coming to North America” →
Wash your stinky ass with NES controller soap from DigitalSoaps! Perfect for the nerd in your life who’s not too keen on hygiene. And best of all, it smells like Mountain Dew! Warning: If it’s your nerd’s first time bathing with NES controller soap, do not let him go unsupervised as they may try to eat the soap due to its Mountainy Dewy scent. The Etsy seller who made these is actually all sold out, but they have lots of other cool soaps at their shop like iPods, Xbox 360 & Sega Genesis controllers, Tetris blocks, and Space Invaders.

This is the NESticle, not to be confused with the NES emulator. Aside from the silly-yet-awesome name, it houses working Sanwa joystick parts and works with the Xbox 360, PS3 as well as Mac, Windows, and Linux machines. As cool as it is, I kinda’ wish it was facing the right way. You have to turn the console around in order to play it an everyone knows that staring at an NES’s ass isn’t as cool as staring at its frontal goods.

River City Dodgeball All-Stars is an updated re-make of the classic Super Dodgeball, which my local arcade actually has on a big-screen Neo Geo Arcade! The premise is simple: Don’t get hit by the ball! You control players inside the main dodgeball arena, but you also have guys on the outside of the opponent’s area. This lets you set up back and forth passes to confuse the other team and hit ‘em from behind. Once all the players in the main playing field rund out of health, it’s game over. This game is GREAT when played with a friend.
You can download a free trial here by clicking the link that says River City Dodgeball All-Stars in English amidst a bunch of Japanese text. You can also download a version for Xbox 360 from the Indie games section of the XBLA. The Xbox version is called Downtown Smash Dodgeball, but you won’t find it alphabetically listed under “D” because it’s in Japanese. Just go to the “Sports” category and it should be at the bottom for 800MSP. Fun Fact: The classic brawler game River City Ransom was released under the name Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari in Japan. River City Dodgeball All-Stars… Downtown Smash Dodgeball… I wonder…. [Technabob via Indie Games]
I never really quite got into the Fist of the North Star series. Something about the character design always bothered me. But these screens from the upcoming game for PS3 and Xbox 360 make me wanna’ read the manga right this freaking instant!
Rather than make a gallery of teensy little thumbnails that you have to click on, I’ve decided to show the pictures in their full glory. You can see them in even fuller glory by doing the right click/view image thing to see the bigger and better versions.
ZOMG!!! Lookit teh blud!
Here’s the teaser trailer that came out a few weeks ago: And here’s a recording of some gameplay footage that was streamed live, so it’s really laggy and has no audio. Sorry. I’m pretty sure that we’ll see this in the states at some point, but if not, I’m totally importing this shit out of this. Judging by the looks of all the freakishly large necks and the no-doubt crazy polygon count all the muscles, I think it’s safe to say that there probably won’t be too much plot involved. And if so, it probably doesn’t matter as long as you get to be a burly dude rippin’ other burly dudes apart. Hotuto Musou (Fist of the North Star to us westerners) is set for a 2010 release in Japan.

Before getting into this review, it should be known that I tend to get a little damp in the nether regions when it comes to games like this. Metroid II and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night are among my favorite games ever created. That being said, I’m not gonna’ suck Shadow Complex’s nuts undeservingly, because the game’s not without its fair share of minor flaws. That’s not to say it isn’t a good game, it’s fucking awesome. Go buy it. Right now. Seriously. Continue reading “Game Review: Shadow Complex” →
Velvet Assassin is a stealth game loosely based on actual events that took place during WWII. Replay Studios, the game’s developer, aimed to create a realistic, gritty depiction of WWII that hasn’t ever been seen in a game before. Since their depiction of WWII involves a chick who’s tight leather outfit magically transforms into a slinky nightie every time she shoots up morphine, I’m pretty sure these guys are consuming a good deal of shrooms.

The Big Daddy from Bioshock and Samus Aran from Metroid had hot, steamy, underwater, outer space sex and this is what popped out. Toy modder extraordinaire Darth Leon has whipped up this amazingly-detailed version of the Big Sister from BioShock 2. Jeezus, Darth Leon! The game’s not even out yet and you’re already giving 2k Games a run for their marketing money! Good on ya’, sir.

Bioshock 2 creative director Jordan Thomas talks us through 9 minutes of gameplay from BioShock 2. We find out that you play as sort of a beta version of the Big Daddy, you can set traps for splicers, and even team up with Little Sisters. And holy shit, the Big Sisters are fuckin’ scary! Continue reading “Who wants to see 9 minutes of BioShock 2 gameplay?” → DeathSmiles is a gothic lolita shooter being ported to the Xbox 360 and I couldn’t be happier. The shmup fan in me is drooling over all the bullets, the Castlevania fan in me has a boner, and the hentai fan in me just came. [Via Kotaku]  |
