New Games

Well, I been playing some new games lately across a few different systems and thought I'd share.

Sonic the Hedgehog-PS3

This game is ass. If you are curios how this game is, recall every single load time you ve ever sat through. And thats it. The game is crap. Completely. When you do get to play, the game is plagued with slow down, glitches, and cheap deaths.


What's an average hedgehogs lifespan? A bit too long for this one.


Virtua Fighter 5-PS3

This game is awesome, its awesome like virtua fighter 4. Guess what, its not much different from virtua fighter 4. You know what this game needs? Online Matches. Its even set up like an online game. Name yer character, customize, even a comment before matches, but its not online. So dont buy it. Cuz chances are yer buddies that come over to play games with you don't play virtua fighter.


If you survive the unbelievably long HDD save before the game boots up, a decent fighter awaits you.

Metal Gear Portable Ops-PSP
Great game. Its like Metal Gear lite, for pussies that suck at metal gear (goffey comes to mind). Instead of one sprawling consistent world, MGPO divides its gameplay into individual levels. But the gameplay is still as deep as ever. Now you can recruit soldiers to your cause. The sound is amazing and the Comic book style cutscenes are BADASS. Yes, BADASS.


The screenshots don't do the game justice, it seriously looks good on the PSP's slick screen.





Crackdown-360

It was fun for 3 days exactly. The end.




Next up.

Bullet Witch maybe?



Although I hear its asstacular.

TMNT Fast Forward

I guess I will never grow up. I'm 26, and still watching Ninja Turtles cartoons. Thing is, I didn't really watch that new TMNT show. Fast Forward is the latest series, and I am really getting into it. If you've never seen it, you should pick up the first 12 episodes that have recently hit dvd. I got the 2 disc set at Best Buy for 10 bucks. You just can't beat it. I promise its a good show (theres even some references and cameos from the old show). So far my favorite episodes are "Playtimes over" and "Fly me to the moon".



Fast Forward wasn't actually supposed to start airing yet, and the episodes that were are apparently going to be released on dvd and not air on Fox Kids T.V.

After the scheduling change was made, Mirage and its partners decided to finish production on the "Ninja Tribunal" episodes (since much of the work had already been completed) and release them directly to DVD. 4Kids Entertainment later signed a deal with Comcast and the "Ninja Tribunal" season began airing on that cable provider in August of 2006 via their "Video On Demand" feature. Thus mass confusion has ensued regarding which season is officially season five and which is season six.

This has to be one of the better new Saturday morning cartoon shows. Trust me I've watched a few. I have 2 daughters and we are usually up watching cartoons in the morning. That new Sonic show was garbage, as was Gi Joe Sigma 6. I mean it was kinda cool to see Snake Eyes jumping about, but the more I saw it the more I relized it was dumb. If you are a ninja turtle fan be sure to check it out.

For those who don't know-Onechanbara

Just really quick I need to mention Onechanbara. I had really wanted to import the first one for the PS2, but never got around to it. It is a zombie slasher game published as a budget title in Japan. Milky from 1up has a great spread on the game. A new Onechanbara game "Vortex" has been released in Japan, and now it seems as though it will be released here in the U.S. GO HERE FOR MILKY's BLOG ON ONECHANBARA!
