Cartoons = Kiddie
Get your vocabulary correct.

I am now sad.
Then again she wasnt with you during that part of the game.
07/27/09
How could you think that? Did you not play Dead Space at all?
1. That doesn't look like a Resident Evil monster
2. That chick isn't screaming save me leon, so its obviously not Ashley

I did, for a good 3 playthroughs.
1. Actually I'm pretty sure IT/U-somerandomnumber had a humanoid face and claws like that.
2. She's blonde with parted hair, looks like Ashley to me. If there were blondes in DS, I didnt notice them since I tend to skip story sequences.
It's all in the game play, brah.

Resi 4 had the big guys you had to equip the thermal scope to shoot the heart out of that *kind of* looked like that.
As for the 'missing the blondes' in DS... really? Thats kind of Issacs whole motivation. Really?
07/27/09
The Iron Maidens looked nothing like that. If anything, they looked like Dr Manhattan/SF4 Seth. They were humanoid but they didnt have any claws IIRC.
Im guessing Issac is the main character, but like I said I didnt pay attention to the story.
So I wouldnt know about the motivation.

What? Stop talking, right now. Its even part of the gameplay where you have to deal with THAT SPECIFIC BLONDE and keep her alive.
Then she TRAPS YOU IN A ROOM AND HELPS YOU ACTIVATE A TRACTOR BEAM.
Just be quiet now, stupid.
07/27/09
Are you talking about the part where youre on one side of a big gap and she's on the other typing stuff into a console and you have to shoot the creeps on both sides?
I remember that much.
Rage on the internet? Really?

I just wish there was more focus on actually creative gaming instead of mass-produced mass-marketed Western games with no individual identity or unique traits. Sometimes it seems like the only shit that gets any attention is big-budget shooters.

You're listening all wrong then.
The trick is to ignore a recommendation, and pay attention to a discussion.
You'll find plenty of people who will go "GET X GAME ITS AWESOME", but the ones that should catch your eye are not the ones telling you to get the game, but the ones trying to have a point by point actual discussion about it.
At least, thats how it works for me. If people are willing to discuss the game on a level beyond skin deep (which doesn't happen often), there may be something there worth paying attention to.

We (people who are frugal with their game purchasing) have to pay special attention to what people think and say about games specifically, not just what they think about playing games.

i'm wondering if these graphic novels that precede the game release do justice to the franchise. i remember the resistance 2 launch that came with a comic book that undeniably felt like an afterthought to the videogame. at the same time, i do think that comic tie-ins raise the general level of excitement and extend the narrative on the game. i'd like to think that my anticipation (and letdown) of mirror's edge and even assassin's creed began with a graphic novel that arrived before the game.
07/22/09
Making 'graphic novel' adaptations of your videogame IP does NOT constitute innovation.
Why on earth is everyone doing this now? How about game developers worry a little more about making their game stories interesting before recycling their already recycled schlock in a kitschy graphic novel.
Ugh.

PRE-ORDERED!

on topic: Hopefully this writer doesn't bring in an annoying creature like some other prequels we know

However, just imagine the epic epicness that would be a cover illustration of Prince as drawn by Todd McFarlane. 'Twould 'splode the mind.
By the way, for those who didn't notice, the title of the article reads "... Prince OR Persia..." notice the "oR" not "oF"

I am somewhat optimistic since I didn't get the horrible vibe as to when I saw the Chun-Li trailer. Yet again who didn't feel a horrible vibe when seeing the SF Chun-Li trailer :/

Seriously though, I wonder how many people pressed "buy" on their Dish and DirecTV remotes and five minutes later shouted in unison "SONOFABITCH!!?!!"

Afterall, between Superman III (or was it IV?) and the WB series, there were no expectations for Lana's legs (or physique, for that matter.)
That all said, I'm still holding an 'office pool' on when we're all going to see Kristen Kreuk on Skinemax.

If all fails, will recharged the hell out of that hourglass till it becomes a hit.

I'm a 80's kid and nothing about those movies reminded me of the TV show. Give me Thundercats and maybe I'll pay those big movie bucks.
07/21/09
Thundercats has more or less been a Broadway staple for eons now. Go check it out. :p

Micheal Bay's Transformers -- Robots with cliche lines (world peace and other garbage filler lines), and some chick that looks like she'd be on a Dorito commerical at halftime.
G.I. Joe: Prettyboys in spandex armor.
Star Trek: McDonald's iShip : The Next Generation
Now, don't get me wrong, I liked Star Trek, and I enjoyed droning (read: not going there for a real plotline) with the TF movies, but there is no way on God's Green Earth that anyone will convince me that those are G.I. Joes, Transformers, Star Trek characters; anymore than Mark Gordon would convince me that five ragtag survivors of an alien attack in New York would be Voltron's Lion Force!
It kinda makes me wish that they'd add "knockoff" to the taglines.
Way to kill childhood memories, Hollywood. And you wonder why people say you no longer have original ideas...

Peter Cullen maybe... But it's hardly enough anymore.
For one, the voice of Megatron (Gary Chalk) is still around, yet you don't hear his voice. Sure, Starcream/Cobra Commander (The Late Chris Latta) isn't around for requests anymore, but Cullen performing the duties of Optimus, and not hearing Chalk is nothing short of disappointing; even if the IMAX candy were enough for me to drone for an hour and a half.

CATS is epic

If they do put out a POP game it should be a Compilation disc with Sands of Time/Warrior Within with updated Graphics.

Prince of Persia: Chanel No. 5

I am always a sucker for the Wolfenstein franchise. The Veil powers and Mafia-esque progression system seems like a welcoming edition in the next month's release. Day 1 for sure!.
