Genji Massively Damaged

Chris Kohler over at the Wired gaming blog had several unkind things to say about Genji: Days of the Blade, one of the PS3's few original launch titles. The game is plagued by a crappy camera, off-screen objectives, and at least one bug that could completely screw up your day.
But even that wasn't so bad when you compare it to the fact that I didn't know what to do next, and I wasn't finding anything because there was nothing to find. So it was back to GameFAQs' board, but this time there was no solution. Just confirmation that there was supposed to be an item for me to pick up, but due to a glitch in the game it disappears after a certain point. And of course, I'd been diligent and saved my game, meaning I was completely screwed. I'd have to start the game over.

Kudos to Chris for getting that far. I got bored and moved on to something else before even reaching that point. Too many potentially great launch games on two different systems to waste time not enjoying myself. Besides, why should I have to finish the game if Sony didn't? More »

Nintendo Busts Sony's Balls For Massive Damage

The "Massive Damage" meme? Old. Uttered by the producer of Genji 2 at Sony's E3 train wreck of a presser, it's officially no longer funny. (It still makes us giggle, but whatever.) The quote has haunted that producer and ultimately has resulted in him not giving any more interviews, apparently. We wonder if he even leaves the house. More »

TGS06: Justify Your Game: Genji

It's too bad that Genji is actually pretty good, because this is the worst pitch we've ever heard and hope that this clip does not do massive damage to the game's sales.

Crab Dude Interviewed For Massive Damage

Kyle Shubel is a famous man. At E3, the producer unveiled not only one, but two catch phrases: "Giant enemy crab" and "Massive damage." The game is Genji: Days of the Blade, and actually looks somewhat interesting (once you expunge the E3 press conference from your mind). Shubel talked with Game Informer, pointing out that the giant crabs (heikegani) are real creatures and are two meters in size. Now, whether they found warriors in ancient Japanese battles is another issue. Shubel adds: More »
