About Speak-Up on Kotaku: Our readers have a lot to say, and sometimes what they have to say has nothing to do with the stories we run. That's why we have that little box on the front page of Kotaku. You know, the one with "Got something to say?" written in it? That's the place to post anecdotes, photos, game tips and hints, and anything you want to share with Kotaku at large. Just make sure to include #speakup in your comment so we can find it. Every Wednesday we'll pull the best #speakup posts we can find and highlight them here.
Would You Like To Play A Game?
Nathan Obbards would like to play a little game with you.
Alright, time for a little game.
We did this with movies a little back over at Giz, but I think we should do it with video games now.
Take two titles and combine them where they have words in common and create a description about what the video game is about.
I'll start:
Mario Brothers In Arms - When two brothers are thrust into a world shattering conflict, they must stick together to secure the pipelines, crush their enemies, and rescue a princess. Along the way, the will fight bands of MG42 wielding and heavily armored bands of fuhrer Bowser's elite shock troops, Koopa Troopers. The only question is, will Operation Market Peach be a success?
Look what I found on VGBoxArt!
Consider The Alternative
Rear Admiral Meatwad has his own ideas as to what a Kotaku t-shirt should look like.
Come Back, Joe!
Steve Rowland begs Capcom for the return of a franchise that seems to have sputtered out before its time.
Dear Viewtiful Joe,
I miss you.
For a while there, we had something going on... what happened? Viewtiful Joe 1 & 2 were amazing, but then you changed.Ever since clover closed down... you've been different. I got my hopes up when I saw you in the news the other day, but then I realized that you were a side character. Viewtiful Joe 3 can happen! You can save the earth for the 3rd and final time.
Please...
*wipes at tears*
