Week in Games: The First Crop Edition

And here they are, the first crop of games in the new year. Nothing that's probably going to knock your socks off, but it's loads better than the previous two weeks. That said, I am actually looking quite forward to the Harvey Birdman Game. I am both a big Phoenix Wright and harvey Birman fan so this game is a perfect fit. Anyone else going to be checking it out?

Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom (X360)
The Kingdom Under Fire series continues. This time as an RPG.

Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity (WII, PS2)
Sonic is at it again. That little blue ball just keeps on rolling.

Omega Five (X360)
Side scrolling shooter action.

NFL Tour (X360, PS3)
More football from EA Sports.

Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law (WII, PS2, PSP)
Harvey Birdman goes all Phoenix Wright style

Jackass the Game (DS)
Words cannot describe the horror.

World Championship Paintball (PS2)
Paintball, a kinder, gentler way to shoot your friends.

Dance Dance Revolution: Disney Channel (PS2)
Get down and funky with your favorite Disney Channel Stars. If you actually have any.

Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure (DS)
Get cozy with creepy underwater dinosaur things.

Sin City Game Just Might Not Suck

Frank Miller's Sin City graphic novels? Excellent. Sin City movie? Great. Sin City game? We'll see. Jackass: The Game publisher Red Mile Entertainment is creating the tentatively titled Sin City: The Game and announced that it has brought in 20 year game vet Flint Dille, who won "Story of the Year" for The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape to Butcher Bay and Dead to Rights, to shape up the game's story and overall production. Dille and Frank Miller actually go way back. Heck, the storyteller in 300 is even named "Dillos" after the scribe. Says Dille:

Frank and I met during what I call our 'professional adolescence' when he was doing the Dark Knight and I was doing the Transformers cartoon series, and we've been great friends ever since... Frank and I have been having a party coming up with nasty stuff for the game. In true Sin City fashion, some old characters will return, new characters will appear and — without giving anything away — probably die horribly. It's great to be working with the Red Mile team on this project: They clearly share Frank's and my commitment to bringing a new and true Sin City to interactive life.

You know, this could actually work. Let's hope it actually does.

Success Is Not Success

Jackass: The Game for the PS2 and PSP has been in development for a while! No wonder, how do you make a game based on stunts that can still be funny if they fail? Tricky! Game producer Aaron Rigby explains:

That was a real pain. In most games success is success, you either accomplished your goals or you didn't. Jackass doesn't work like that. The stunts in the show were just as good whether they accomplished what they set out to do or failed completely. That means that our goals in a stunt had to make sure that an entertaining failure worked just as well as a resounding success.

What's more, the game even has a story, which the Jackass cast helped think up. A simple story and goals like rolling downhill in a trash can or running around in your underwear? This game has it all!

Latest by Helio: yeah i am a big fan of the show, but you don't see it on as much as it used to be, which kinda sucks. But the game does fill a sort of void, its hella funny. more »

Jackass Officially Announced

Five months after McMike posted the gallery for Jackass the Game, Red Mile Entertainment has finally officially announced that the game will be coming to the PS2, the PSP, and the Nintendo DS this Fall. 35 scenarios have been revealed including dodging traffic on the streets of San Francisco while rolling around in a garbage can, and doing a little golf cart Burnout-style damage in a Country Club.

Gallery: Jackass: The Game

I've never been much a Jackass fan, as I'm not into watching dudes vomit or whack eachother in the family jewels. Also, men in thongs and I are like oil and water. But, I gotta say, Jackass: The Game? It looks kind of fun. Don't call that an endorsement, by any means, but check out the screens and see how this PSP title is shaping up. Michael McWhertor More »

Jack Thompson, Ace Attorney: "OBJECTION!"

Okay, this little bit of Photoshoppery is good enough that it earns a post of its own. Kotakuite Torokun decapitated Phoenix Wright and slapped the head of my favorite wanna-be girlfriend, Jack Thompson, on top. The piece de resistance is the incredible cardboard protest sign tucked underneath his arm, which Jack insanely waves about in the courtroom when he decides there just aren't enough people in the room who want to beat on him.
